I met a marine yesterday while shopping at Cost Co. He was one hell of a guy. We quickly became friends, and I asked him if I could have his email to keep in touch. He agreed, and I told him I was writing a book on the military and could I interview him. He said yes.

Then he gave me a sneak peak of what happened to him. He was wounded three separate times. Two times by bayonets. One of the bayonet times the bayonet went through both legs. He was also wounded by shrapnel. He said there was a lot of close up fighting going on. He was in Vietnam from 1965-1969. A long haul.

The very sad news to start off with. Our president has vetoed the main bill that supports the military. Even most of the Republicans are mad. Now sure what this means. More to follow in future posts.

______________________________________

This is the time to do some deep thinking. It is just two days before Christmas and we have thousands of soldiers deployed who will not be home with their families. We can complain ourselves because many of us will not be able to be with our families, but remember they are safe and our military are in harms way.

Pray for them. We need to get connected some how through the Zoom type programs. A phone call, however short it is, will lift up their spirits greatly.

Well, the vaccine is finally getting out to the people. I thought I was way down the list, but found out that because of my health issues I am next inline after all the first responders and assisted living folks.

I have one thing that has me boiling!! I found out that our governor has decided to let the prisoners in our state get their shots before they even give any to the assisted living people. apparently they whine to the governor in my stats, that they can’t social distance so they need it now. She gave in.

Maybe they shouldn’t have been placed in that Hell hole in the first place!! They did something bad and they shouldn’t whining at all.

I have been sharing all the new equipment the military is getting to up date all of their arsenals and far better equipment. is coming.
