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.

I was walking in the mall the other day, and I had my Army cap on. One young man thanked me for my service as he went by. I felt very proud to have served at that moment.

Have you been thanked for your service? Well, if not you are getting it now. THANK YOU! You served your country and should be proud. There was a lot of sacrifice as we served. However, that was what we signed up for. I would do it again in a New York minute.
