I am trying to face reality in knowing that we will never have a time when there isn’t a war. Sick dictators and fools seek power constantly. We can not allow them to push countries around. We must fight back to save innocent lives.

We often forget the heroics of our veterans in WWII. I love the story about a WWII pilot who shot down 6 Japanese bombers in one mission. He was declared an ace on his first mission.
The are many more stories 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.
