Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage. We often hear inspiring stories like that of AF Tech Sgt. John Chapman, whose heroic actions serve as a testament to the qualities inherent in veterans. I had the privilege of working alongside a veteran from the 10th Mountain Division, whose bravery earned him a medal. Reflecting on his experiences, he vividly recalls the perilous situations they faced and the morale-boosting sight of US air support overhead. Stories like these underscore the invaluable contribution veterans can make to your organization. In times of adversity, veterans demonstrate unwavering dedication and selflessness. John Chapman's actions weren't driven by personal gain or recognition but by a profound sense of duty to his comrades. Imagine having someone of such caliber within your organization—someone who prioritizes loyalty and teamwork, fostering a culture of trust and collaboration. The qualities exhibited on the battlefield seamlessly transition to the workplace. Veterans bring a unique blend of leadership, resilience, and adaptability—qualities essential for navigating today's economic landscape. Hiring a veteran isn't just about fulfilling a need; it's about tapping into a wealth of skills and experiences that can drive your organization's success. As we honor the sacrifices of John Chapman, let's also acknowledge the family he left behind. Their unwavering support and sacrifices deserve recognition too.

Part of the research I am conducting for my book on the 8th Infantry Regiment of the Illinois National Guard (370th Infantry Regiment) is on the history of the National Guard. This part of the research has been fascinating. From learning about the first three regiments formed during the colonial period to the various Militia and National Defense Acts that helped to shape the Guard into what it is today, it has truly been eye opening. If I may say so myself, it is one of the most interesting chapters in the book.

My fellow military veterans will appreciate this statement: "We served because we felt a higher calling of duty to country, or our fellow American. Most of us would not hesitate to do it again." However, now that an associate shared the following, I am conflicted on how I personally feel considering some fellow retired veterans could be called back to active duty to support a very real shortfall in Army manning requirements. Once you make the mental shift from active duty to reserve or separated, it can be difficult to imagine putting the uniform back on and taking on the mental gymnastics of the rigors of the service once more.

Ive visited so many organizations that support military veterans, and they simply turned me down. All I wanted them to do was post my book on there social media. 90% of companies denied me, radio denied, local news channels denied, CHRISTIAN mega million dollar churches denied me. There is no controversy, there is no hate or discomfort in my book. Its about Living Life after service. PTSD, MENTAL HEALTH. They simply want money for a post, or a shout out, TV thought it wasn't worth to air on news,or Veteran Organizations telling me its against their company standards. None of them read the book, they simple care for their own business, not the people whom my family has served since WWII. I know the truth of freedom, and the truth about America and the support you really do for veterans....you are fraud.... everyone of you. For you all on this platform, So called professionals with your Political Left and Right bull crap, your one-sided political opinions... Your definition of faith, you are a FRAUD!! You all dont know AMERICA! Please comment and test me. you spend more money on widgets than people. There is no debt, just your spending problem, or spending habbits or comfort for attention. Award shows, Hollywood ,give free gift bags woth thousands of dollars. Billions of dollars are spent for superbowl advertising, and we still have a homeless issue. In a month or less, over 600 veterans committed suicide. That is just suicide alone. We spend more on public schools to be bullet proof, like jails, than actually hiring more teachers , counselors, or building mental health, Antibullying programs. Lets not talk about billionaires building rockets and submarines as their companies are not giving raises or more incentives for people that build them.
