Thank you from a late-blooming, retired Army National Guard Chaplain (Lt. Col), who didn't put on the uniform until I was 36! I had a lot of activity and experiences dealing with my activated units to Saudi Arabia and Iraq, plus helping with PTSD and suicide issues with some of them as well as Viet Nam vets, plus many, many more issues... including with myself!
I've been "away" for several months because I was hospitalized for a third time with Staph infection in my right knee, resulting in its being cut open for the SIXTH time -- third since last September! When I got back home, my family had switched our service from Comcast to Verizon, so I cannot retrieve my emails AND I did not have wireless connection for some strange reason, even though the computer indicated that I was online! It is supposed to be fixed tomorrow, and right now I have arranged for a direct connect to my laptop. Maybe I'll be able to catch up with some of you, even though my time is limited between physical therapy, chiropractor and other doctor visits, plus occasionally taking care of two grandchildren. Blessings on all of you still active here! I've missed you. Love in Light, Daniel
