Over twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four missions to space, I risked my life for this country and to defend our Constitution – including the First Amendment rights of every American to speak out. I never expected that the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense would attack me for doing exactly that.
My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and sacrifice for this country. I got shot at. I missed holidays and birthdays. I commanded a space shuttle mission while my wife Gabby recovered from a gunshot wound to the head– all while proudly wearing the American flag on my shoulder. Generations of servicemembers have made these same patriotic sacrifices for this country, earning the respect, appreciation, and rank they deserve.
Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way. It’s outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that.
If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it. I will fight this with everything I’ve got — not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don’t get to decide what Americans in this country get to say about their government.

In 2011 Steve Jobs died at the age of 56 from pancreatic cancer, leaving a fortune of 7 billion dollars, these are some of his last words...
“At this moment, lying in bed, sick and remembering my whole life, I realize that all the recognition and wealth I have is meaningless in the face of imminent death. I have the money to hire the best at any task, but it is not possible to hire someone to carry my disease. Money can get you all kinds of material things, but there is one thing you can't buy: "LIFE".
As I got older, I realized that a $300 watch and a $3,000,000 watch show the same time. That with a $50,000 car and a $15,000,000 car, we can reach the same destination. That a wine of $150 or one of $1500, generate the same "hangover." That in a house of 300 square meters, or in one of 3000, the loneliness is the same."
"True happiness does not come from material things, it comes from the affection that our loved ones give us."
So, I hope you understand that when you have friends or someone to talk to, that is true happiness!
Five undeniable facts
- Do not educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy — so when they grow up, they will know the value of things, not the price.
- Eat your food as medicine, otherwise you must eat medicine as food.
- The one who loves you will never leave you, even if they have 100 reasons to give up. He/She will always find a reason to hold on.
- There is a big difference between human being and being human.
- If you want to go fast, go alone! But if you want to go far, go together.
In whatever stage of life you find yourself now, be grateful and enjoy the little things to the fullest and treasure the Love of your partner, your family and your friends, so that when the day comes when the curtain falls, you can carry with you the true wealth of this world.

In London, there's a woman who goes every day on the subway and sits on the dock just to listen to the announcement recorded by her husband in 1950.
Margaret McCollum after the death of her Oswald Laurence, sits on the bench waiting to hear this recording that became one of London's most famous "Mind the gap" (attention the space between the train and the dock).
In 2003, Oswald died leaving a huge void in Margaret's heart. So Margaret found a way to feel his presence closest.
But from the day after more than half a century, this voice was replaced by an empty electronic recording. Out of distress Margaret asked this cassette tape to the London subway transport company to continue listening to her husband's voice at home.
But, knowing the moving history, the company decided to restore the announcement in the only stop near the house where the woman lives, specifically at the Embankment stop of Northern Line, where all passengers can listen today Oswald Laurence's voice and to think that eternal love really exists.
Wonderful gesture by the authorities.
