Aren’t you getting tired of hearing threats from North Korea. The fact is if they ever started a war it would be over very quickly. They have many soldiers, but the rest of their Army are not adequate to sustain a war.

North Korea confirms it has runaway US soldier in custody

The Maui fires are heart breaking. Over 106 deaths confirmed. However it is comforting to know that the National Guard, and the Coast Guard are helping out. The Coast Guard saved 14 people’s lives out of the ocean. The National Guard is searching for survivors.

We do not hear to much about these two forces, but they are always there helping.

I had the National Guard help me personally two years ago. It was the height of the pandemic, and I was at the place for people to get their shots.

The lines were huge, but I got in line anyway. As I slowly worked my way forward, a National Guard private came up to me and said, “Follow me.”

He took me past the head of the line into a special area. It looked like it was set up for handicapped people. Since I was using a walker that seemed t be the reason he took me there. Maybe it also could have been that I was wearing an Army hat.

I am sitting her listening to my nephew whistling for the first time. He is overwhelmed with joy, and so am I.

As I look at him I realize why I served my country. Freedom is not free, and because of the millions of veterans, and current service men we have that freedom, and my nephew does too.

I am on vacation. I am in Sun River, Oregon. It is a fabulous vacation spot. Something for everyone, and lots of sun.

As I look out the window, I can see deer grazing. I can see people riding bikes. It makes me feel good to see so many beautiful animals, and people enjoying themselves.

BTW… there is a 150 pound German Shepard dog waiting for anyone who is brave enough to try to break in to our home.. He will chew you up.
