I began writing “A Veteran’s Journey<\/strong>” on Veteran’s Day, November 11, 2019. I usually blog twice a week, Tuesdays for the “main” blog post and Fridays are reserved for a “Navy Friday Funny.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a list of the posted “main” blogs, most recent at the top. Note that I’ve also included a link to the “audio” download (that’s ME reading the blog; sometimes it’s a little more “descriptive” than the written post). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, if you’re interested, I’ve published these blogs in four books, “A Veteran’s Journey, Volume 1<\/a>,” “A Veteran’s Journey, Volume 2<\/a><\/strong>,” “A Veteran’s Journey, Volume 3<\/a><\/strong>,” and “A Veteran’s Journey, Volume 4<\/strong><\/a>,” which contain many of my short stories, now available on Amazon (<\/a>Vol 1<\/a>)<\/a>, (Vol 2<\/a>), (Vol 3<\/a>)<\/strong>, and (Vol 4<\/strong><\/a>) (<\/strong>$9.99 paperback; $1.99 Kindle). Of course, as noted below, all these books are available for FREE download (eBook or PDF format).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
