Silent Killer.
On this day I finished my 22 push‑ups, and Mr. Jim and Mrs. Mary wouldn’t let me leave. As she laid on that hospice bed they asked me to feed her ice and water while they told me their story 64 years of marriage, love, and loyalty. Two days later, Mrs. Mary passed. One year later, Mr. Jim joined her. Some moments stay with you forever. #2026PURGE #IENCWin #BPOTS #FYP #BeTheOne
September 18, On the Air Force’s 79th birthday and on the 32nd birthday of our second‑born Airman I traveled to the capital of the Tar Heel State where Legion Post 296 from Vass, NC, oversaw and perform the POW/MIA Ceremony. Our State, Vietnam Veteran Association allowed me the honor of participating, and even though the wind and rain rolled in, it held off just long enough for us to complete the ceremony with dignity.After the ceremony concluded, I noticed a Vietnam Warrior wearing a patch on his shirt and a Silver Star on his collar. I asked him, “Sir, who are you? What year did you serve?” He answered, “68 to 69.”Because of my deep study in the 1980s concerning the Vietnam war right then I knew Tet Offensive. He told me he was a helicopter gunship pilot, a Silver Star recipient, a man who carried the weight of a generation’s fight. Moments like today remind me/us why we stand the watch, why we speak their names, and why the words still matter: “UNTIL THEY ALL COME HOME.” We will always remember our POW/MIA.
I’m reflecting because September is suicide awareness month.
