Had coffee today with a WWII veteran. I have already interviewed him for my upcoming book, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches of Life.

It was great to just be able to talk to him. He is 98 years young and looking great.

My interview with him was full of near death experiences, and stories about freeing Jews from concentration camps. It is a must read.

This old warrior is fighting hard to stay healthy. It is a struggle, but I am fighting back. This week I went to Physical Therapy, and two days on a tread mill. It is paying off. I am down 4 pounds this week. Just got to keep it up to get strength back into my legs.

An Afghan soldier spent months to reach our borders to freedom, and he was arrested at the border. What is wrong with this picture!! They say he will probably have to be in prison for a while before he can get asylum. Why would he have to go to prison?? This man was on our side in Afghanistan, and they are treating him like this? Not a happy camper.
