Those who like war are enjoying our world right now. Sudan has exploded into a full war. Ukraine is on going.

Frankly my feeling is that there shouldn’t be any wars. They cause death and misery.

Why is it that movie stars love to play a soldiers role in a movie? I read an account by an actor that said, “I feel more patriotic.” Well, my response is that there a many soldiers in the military who go to the front line and are dodging real bullets Some never make it home. Now that is patriotic.

I thought I would start sharing some of the wonderful endorsements my upcoming book, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches of Life, is getting. The book is stirring quite a buzz.

_______________________________________________________________

In the current conditions of our military, there is a need to find realistic affordable sources to reach out and help our veterans and current military. Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches of life, is that source. Doug Bolton spends many chapters on showing the veterans and military ways to cope in this not so friendly world.  Sadly, he feels and knows of the pain from his volunteer service and sacrifices for our great country first hand. Being a seasoned registered nurse and a battlefield Air Force flight nurse, I have seen many young men and women coming home sick, injured wounded and highly depressed. This book is a must for many. I highly recommend this book without hesitation to all those who have served and currently serving.  I am also advocating for the loved ones and families to read this read, as well.
