I am now listening to, on TV, the words from Gold Star Parents. There is much anger and tears from each of them. They are sharing how much they loved their children. They are sharing how broken they are from losing their loved ones.

The tears fell from their faces. They couldn’t stress how angry they are with how the Afghan withdraw was conducted. It didn’t have to happen.

I feel their pain. I can’t imagine losing one of my children. It Just DIDN”T have to happen.

Drones Target Russian Capital on Eve of Military Parade Attended By Putin 

The incidents were the latest in a series of attempted drone assaults—including on the Kremlin and on Russian border towns—that Moscow has blamed on Kyiv. Last week, a drone fell in the center of the capital near defense ministry headquarters, while another hit the south of the city, gutting several upper floors of a building.

It makes me proud to know how many soldiers are fighting in Ukraine. The question is why?

Why would they go to another country, and put themselves in harms way?

I think I know the answer. It isn’t that they are fighting to protect their own country. They are fighting to protect the lives of innocent people.

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.
