There has been an increase of people that are destroying our flag. I can’t guess why they think they need to do that. Why do they choose the flag to protest?

They obviously aren’t veterans. As a matter of fact I think most veterans would like to show them what it is like to be in a war zone.

Hopefully our country will get away from being insane.

The hardest people for me to interview for my upcoming book, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the trenches of Life, are the Vietnam soldiers. They bury their thoughts and refuse to share them.

I had a few open up a little, but it was very difficult to pry it out of them.

Many soldiers lost buddies and that broke them down immensely. They talk about how they shouldn’t be here, because their buddies are not.

________________________________________________________________

I have an interview coming up in the book that will knock your socks off. He is a Vietnam veteran and had openly fully to his time in vietnam. This one interview should be enough for you to buy the book.

He was wounded three times, and still went back to more times to Vietnam. You only had to go one time, and he went three.

US military downs yet another unidentified object in third shootdown in as many days [Updated]
Have you ever lost a buddy while being deployed? I have. Two of them. The first one was a high school buddy. We were sent to Korea, and he didn’t come home alive. Some virus took him out.
The second one was a buddy from my company while stationed at Camp Red Cloud, in Uijeongbu. Korea. He had been out drinking in the village, and got extremely drunk. He was staggering back to the camp when he fell into a “honey bucket.” A honey bucket is a hole in the ground that the farmers put all their human wastes. They used it for fertilizer. He suffocated.

If you have had to go through this I am with you. The dreams never go away.
