The continuing saga of my latest health issue, will get some help tomorrow. I will be getting a steroid shot in my right hip that is supposed to cut out the pain. I will let you know on Friday how that turned out.

______________________________________________________________

It seems to me that a few of us older veterans are getting forgotten. There is lots of news coverage about the current military personnel.

I am not whining, but we need to never forget those who forged the path we are now on in this country.

God bless all veterans.

The hardest people for me to interview for my upcoming book, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the trenches of Life, are the Vietnam soldiers. They bury their thoughts and refuse to share them.

I had a few open up a little, but it was very difficult to pry it out of them.

Many soldiers lost buddies and that broke them down immensely. They talk about how they shouldn’t be here, because their buddies are not.

I have an interview coming up in the book that will knock your socks off. He is a Vietnam veteran and had openly fully to his time in vietnam. This one interview should be enough for you to buy the book.

He was wounded three times, and still went back to more times to Vietnam. You only had to go one time, and he went three.
