It’s Been Way too Long

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.

God bless!

I had the privilege to meet a Vietnam veteran while shopping for groceries. I seem to have the knack to find them. This guy is a true hero. His name is Milt Hoch. He had three tours in Vietnam. He didn’t have to. He chose to.

He was in intense fighting, even face to face fighting. He was once stabbed through both legs at once with a bayonet. He was still able to kill the enemy and survive.

I have an interview with him in my upcoming book, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches of Life. It is riveting.

Keep coming back to hear about other heroes. Better yet…go to the top of this page and click on subscribe. When you do all future posts will go directly to your inbox.
