This old soldier is tired of the events happening in our country today. So much turmoil and fear. My country is the greatest country in the world and yet, we are losing favor with other countries. Why? (My opinion) The leadership of country is weak. They allow too many threats to our country that they ignore, and claim everything is rosy.

We need a wake up call, and soon!

North Korea confirms it has runaway US soldier in custody

North Korea apprehended Army Pvt. Travis King, 23, after he dashed into the country during a group tour of the heavily guarded Joint Security Area on July 18, according to the state-run Korean Central News Agency.

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 in the process of interviewing a submariner. Not just any submariner, but a nuclear submariner. Incredible interview. This should be enough to buy my upcoming book, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the trenches of life.

I also talked to a Vietnam veteran who is deciding if he will allow me to interview him. He has an amazing story. (He had a bayonet go through both legs in an one on one fight.)

As I sit here in Sun River, Oregon, I see many people on bikes. They are families riding together.

My whole family went to the tennis courts this morning and beat up the tennis balls. It was fun to watch.

Turning my thoughts to Ukraine and Russia. Russia is completely out classed by the Ukrainian soldiers. Many of the current Russian fighters have never had a day of training. They are sent to the front to be slaughtered.

I wish the people back in Russia could know the truth. Putin would be long gone if they did.
