My Bucket List

Things I must do before I die….

1 - Volunteer to lay Christmas Wreaths at
Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia

(I did this for the first time on December 13th, 2014)

2 - Watch the 4th of July celebrations
from the Iwo Jima Memorial in Arlington, Virginia

3 - Visit the Mideast War Memorial Wall in Marseilles, Illinois
I was there in October 2014

4 - Publish all 16 In the Company of Snipers books
As of January 24, 2017, 13 are published
Also published: 5 audio books,
the first books in 2 more series,
and a Christmas collection.

5 - Pay my respects at the graves of
Adam Brown in Arkansas
and Chris Kyle in Texas
I visited Chris in September 2016.
Very touching. Very humbling.

6 - Visit Ireland, Turkey, and Afghanistan
(probably not Afghanistan, but hey, I'd love to see it)
Visited Ireland in May-June 2015
Now for Turkey!

7 - Shake Howard Wasdin's and Stephen Templen's hands

8 - Kiss the Blarney Stone
Kissed it! Visited Ireland in May-June, 2015

9 - Parachute jump - just once (maybe)

10 - Live like I was dying (thank you, Tim McGraw!)
Oh, wait! I'm already doing this!
