I've been in my own boat sitting out in this water looking at this view. Awesome!-Sandee. This is a Tip of The Hat to Sandee, my Co-Author and blog wizard.

The Blogger's Prayer

Lord help me to learn to spell without spellcheck, manage to visit all that visit me, and post regularly - all in 5 minutes a day, so that I can clean house and take care of my family. Help me to not look at every occurrence in my life as a blog post, and to quit taking pictures of weird things to share as well. Please Lord, help me to stop talking about my blog friends as though they are next door neighbors or someone I have known all of my life. And help me dear Lord, to think of something witty and wise to post tomorrow.

Wednesday Hero

This Weeks Post Was Suggested By Kathi

SSgt. James I. Spurrier, Jr.
SSgt. James I. Spurrier, Jr. (Left)
61 years old from Tennessee
134th Infantry Regiment, 35th Infantry Division
December 14, 1922 - February 25, 1984
U.S. Army

SSgt. James I. Spurrier, Jr., aka Junior J. Spurrier, distinguished himself multiple times during WWII.  One of which, almost single handedly capturing the village of Achain, France, won him the Medal Of Honor.  But after the war, SSg. Spurrier had a tough time.  Trouble with alcohol and run ins with the law.  All due to PTSD.


You can read more about SSg. Spurrier here and here.  And if you, or someone you know, is suffering with PTSD there is help.

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday.  For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived

    So many heroes during the war and then all the addiction issues after their service. I've seen this time and time again in my career. Very sad indeed. I'm glad you beat the odds Mike.

    Have a terrific day. Big hug. :)
