One thing I always believed when I served THIS Great Nation was there is no other choice, but to stay in the fight! Thanks for helping that become even more NOW for me!!

I have preached a positive attitude to many over the years, and I will be directing people to his videos, starting right now. Thank you to him and those that served with him and those that helped keep him alive. You have all made my life better too.

Don’t get me wrong I’ve had the mental blocks that hold me back. But when you identify that when life gives us challenges, it’s up to us how we overcome them and I’m like you I know I must keep going, for my children! Don’t get me wrong I’ve had my down days but they drive and push me forward. But Well done though and thank you for sharing your story …. I have so much respect for you👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
