This old soldier is battling pain right now. I have a right leg that is very painful. I take Tylenol everyday that helps, but need further help from doctors. My lower back is extremely painful as well. It needs surgery to repair. My left shoulder has a tendon that out of whack and is causing pain when I move wrong. Other than that I am doing fine.

The are many stories about the military that have been forgotten, but I interviewed four WWII veterans for my new book, and they are amazing. Each one had a near death experience. They didn’t do anything heroic, but put their lives on the line.
The book is called, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches of Life.
