Let's see I came thru WWII as a baby - with my Dad, step Dad, all Uncles and even one Aunt serving...
Then I survived the Korean War as a grade school student who understood - that Korean was a peninsula much like Fla where we lived... After HS was in the Navy during both the Cuban Missile Crises and the wonderful Vietnam conflict! While in the Navy participated in the NASA Mercury recovery program, and was involved in a foreign rescue of almost 100 person from an Islamic riot torn nation... Later had a son who was in the Marines served during the 1st Gulf War...
*** Plus many friends in all the services - during the past fifty years... Worked for the Gov't in the Navy - then Civil Service and County governments - then attended SPJC, USF and Harnischfeger Institute plus many special post college training events, seminars, advance classes and special training schools over forty years of employment...
My work as an engineer was in most of the states, including Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, and other islands; plus over 25 foreign countries - working in Nuclear and conventional power plants, @ Industrial Controls, Heavy Industry, Shipping, Offshore Oil Rigs, Computer Power Data Centers, and many different type industrial plants - @ many Military Bases, NASA sites, upon Ships, Planes and in Government test labs and facilities...
Have flown over 2 Million air miles, have over a Million windshield miles, plus over 150,000 Nautical miles at sea... So getting a good all round view is not in question - This just to say that I have a good idea what has happened the past over 50 years... Because I was working and involved - not protesting and out running around at all hours of the night - Been there done that - HUH!
Have been a good reader, studied Technical, Political, History, Geography, Statistics, both Math and Electrical Logic, Art, Psychology, Sociology - Plus had a wide study of life...
But no human is perfect - yet we must be aware of the happening around us...
This is not about being great or special: - it is about following the the principles of Love and God!
** " Heaven honors those who show Mercy and Justice ! " - Japanese proverb
So have a good over view of what happened the past over fifty years! I seek to study or reveal whatever is true, honest and up lifting in Blogs, emails, the written page, pictures and in personal contact!
I try to follow part of my High School Motto which stated:
" I will try to make this (where ever I happen to be) a better place for my having been there! "
------------------------------------------------------------------------
We down Dixie way basically grew up fearing God - which meant the we read the Bible and pray believing that Faith will guide you... We try to live honest and to help- share with our neighbors...
Now no one is perfect - it is imperative so we follow Luke10:27 - The Parable of the Good Samaritan
…26 And He said to him, "What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?"
27 And he answered, "YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND; AND YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."
28 And He said to him, "You have answered correctly; DO THIS AND YOU WILL LIVE."…
========================================
Because if you can not or do not come to love your neighbor then you have truly have lose your connection with the Almighty God of the Universe! This is your connection with Eternity!
We will cover much of what it means to be the person you were meant to be... Not the person society or a religious philosophy wanted you to be! If your religion is not expressed in the form of pure Love then it is a failure!

John 8:32 The Truth will Make You Free
31 So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, "If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine;
32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."
33 They answered Him, "We are Abraham's descendants and have never yet been enslaved to anyone; how is it that You say, 'You will become free '?" {Doubt is disbelief and the loss of Faith in the truth!}
