I am letting you know that I have been down with illness for two years today. I’m still struggling, but I couldn’t wait any longer for the pain to go away.
I’m moving on and letting you know that the format is taking a big change, From now on I will be posting military information. I am a veteran and I love my follow veterans, and current military.
I will be reaching out to them everyday.
I will be starting this on Monday. So keep coming back to read all the military news, and my own thoughts.
It has been over three months since I last posted. I doing some whining and move on.
Back in October, I went to sleep on a Sunday night. I woke the next morning screaming in pain. My wife didn’t know what to do to help me so she called 911.
The ambulance took me to the ER. They checked me out and sent me to the hospital.
I was in the hospital for six days. On the fourth day. I had a near death experience. I was laying on my bed, and the nurse left me check the main monitor in the other room. She left instantly and came back with three doctors and several nurses.
They all were checking my blood pressure monitor. What happened was that my blood pressure dropped from a normal 125/65 in less that five minutes to 80/50. They did some things, and my blood pressure went back to normal eventually.
I was told later that I was going to die if it kept dropping.
Two days later I was sent to a rehab facility. There I learned to walk again with a walker. It was slow and painful. I progressed a little each day. I was working with PT and OT specialists. They did a wonderful job helping me.
I got out of rehab 30 days later, and was sent home. That was a total of one month!
I have done a lot of progress since then. This is my first time at the computer in three months.
I thank all the people who worked with me to get me back to a living person.

More than 100 people came together at Nick Maimer’s recent memorial in Boise that included the formal presentation of an American flag to his mother and other military honors, and a subsequent celebration of life. Maimer was killed in May in Bakhmut, Ukraine.
The attack at al Asad Air Base involved two drones, and U.S. forces destroyed one and damaged the other, leading to minor injuries, Pentagon officials said. CENTCOM said there was another attack at al-Harir air base in northern Iraq, in which a drone was destroyed by U.S. forces.
The first B-52H Stratofortress to land on the Korean Peninsula in at least 30 years may become the centerpiece of aerial drills between the U.S., South Korea and Japan.
Seems like I am pounding the Israel war a little too much, But it is getting furious over there. There are now 30 Americans dead. The good news, I just heard a few minutes ago, is that the Hamas have released two American citizens. A mother and daughter from Chicago. Praise the Lord for that.
However, our military bases in Syria, and Iraq are being bomb with drones. One civilian killed. There is no doubt that Iran is behind this. We are able to stop most of the drones, but some are slipping through.
The are many stories about the military 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.
