My grandpa has Agent Orange poisoning he needs a liver and kidney transplant but I am afraid we're going to lose him before he gets it. He served in Vietnam. He said it was the worst because most of the time you couldn't see your enemy they hid in trenches and bushes and underground tunnels They dug themselves plus you had hidden mines and bombs connected to women and children. He says he will never forget that war. His brother also fought in the Vietnam war there was an article about them in the news paper the meastas brothers but sadly he never made it home. I am sorry for your loss but grateful for those who are willing to make the sacrifice for our life and freedoms. For those who we lost Rest in peace and thank you for your service. Those who are fighting may you return home safely and thank you for your service. Those who retired enjoy retirement and thank you for your service. Those that fought and came back due to injury may you stay strong thank you for your service. Those who lost a loved one and struggle thank you for your service.

I'm one of those that respects our military veterans and active service members. Before the pandemic I would literally walk up to them shake their hands and thank them for their service in active uniform or with a veteran's cap. One time in a McDonald's I walked up to a man with a world war II veteran hat on. And I said thank for everything you did. He turned to me a tear went down his eye and said I thought everyone forgot it. Some of us will never forget the sacrifices you got turns mate for us no matter which war conflict you served in. One of my best friends is a military vet he was injured in 2002 in Volusia almost lost his arm. He was the only one out of his home he has severe PTSD and survivors guilt. And the traumatic brain injury. I make sure he knows every time we talk that I am so proud of what he did for us. My five children will always know that Uncle Billy serves their country proudly.

In 1981 I was 15 and looking for my 1st car. You know, the one every boy dreams of. Some want the chevelle, or camero, maybe mustang. Looking thru the newspaper everyday. One dsy my dad comes home from work and says he thinks he'd seen a car I'd like behind a garage in Tampa and I should look at it. Ok dad, what ever. Oh the porch sat there a much older lady. My dad asked if the car was for sale and she said yes but that it was rather expensive and asked me if I could afford the $75.00 she was asking. I said yes ma'am. When I looked at the tarp covering the big beast of a car. I started to druel, cry, and thought NO WAY. Under the tarp was a 1967 pontiac gto. MY CAR. The old lady would NOT tell me who it had belonged to just that it was time to sell it. I can only imagine.

Jesus will soon resurrect your bro-in-law William McDonald, right after Jesus brings Armageddon & restores his God's Kingdom Govt on this earth. Jesus would have removed Satan, the demons & the wicked people. "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment." (John 11: 28, 29) Memorial tombs exist only on earth, so this is an earthly resurrection. See also John 11:23-27 this scripture proves that when Jesus returns, those living & doing God's will, will never die at all. (1Tim 2:3-5; John 3:16; John 17:3; Psalms 37:29)

Man what has happened to our country? I don't think this song could even be written anymore. Worse, seems like we are flying headlong into WWIII with our great leadership and nobody really cares what that means. There will be a lot of us that won't be coming home. After the fight will our kids write a song like this a generation on, or is the culture so far gone we won't even be remembered when it happens? Strange and different times we are in now compared to then.
