Life goes on

Life does go on not the song but life itself even though there's something missing in your life. For instance even though my wife is away working my daughter and I still have to do the same things as usual even though there's only two of us it's different but we have to continue with our daily lives like my daughter going to work and me doing housework as usual. Then I start thinking what about all those families on the border between Russia and the Ukraine, they were over run by Putins hoards once and then liberated, now once again they have been bombed out of their homes, how can you say that life goes on for them, it's hard but they have to somehow continue with their lives, difficult I know and I feel sorry for them but maybe one day they will be able to return for the second time if they want to which will be a difficult choice to make and then their lives will go on as usual but only if Putin and his insane war comes to an end one way or another. If America and Trump didn't have such a stupid debate about wheater or not to supply Ukraine with the help and weapons they needed so long ago then they would have had the tools to fend off the advancing army and the people on the border wouldn't be in the situation that they now find themselves in because the Ukrainians would have had the weapons to defend their homeland but unfortunately they didn't and now that the aid is arriving I somehow think that it's to late and the Russian aggressors are feeling confident and looking to attack Ukraines second city with everything that they have and whether Ukraine can withstand their onslaught I don't know. Their lives must go on somehow, difficult but they have the pride in their country and the heart and will to do so. They want democracy and freedom of speech and the only way to achieve that is to take back the whole of Ukraine, a tall order but it's possible with outside help in the form of weapons, I remember when the war ended in Croatia, people got back to their normal lives, rebuilding and trying successfully to get back to normal, so for now Ukraine has to persever and one day as the Croatians, will achieve their ultimate goal but it takes help and resources which they hope they will get,so you see that life does go on in one form or another, life is for living as long as your life lasts. Well that's all for today, follow, like, share and comment if you can. Thank you.

Ninth installment

The remains of the unit that were in this position left and we followed them, we went around the outskirts of the village and back into the center. The rest of PIV or what was left of it were already there, we found out that Colin just after he had reached the main hq in the center of the village. We had to go back to the end of the street to see what was happening but as soon as we arrived we came under heavy fire as the enemy had pinpointed this house as our new front line, there was no way that we could reach Eric without getting everyone who attempted a rescue killed and because of the amount of enemy fire we had to fall back, on the way Alan started going berserk saying that he had to go back to fight, he was shooting everywhere so George calmed him down and asked him to take care of the elderly and that seemed to work. By now the village command had decided it was time to leave but first we had to wait for the mortar unit to reach safety. We could not get anywhere near under cons...

Third installment

Day in, day out, it was the same routine, sleep, guard, fire off a few rounds in the general direction of the enemy, there was not much else to do, the main thing was to stay alive by keeping inside every time mortars or artillery came flying in to the village. The only time that there was a lot of activitie was when we were buzzed by planes, everybody would rush outside, Ernie would jump on the transporter and fire the machine gun, I used to run to the machine gun that was mounted on a tripod at the end of the street and also fire at the plane, everybody else would be outside firing their ak47s, there was not much chance of hitting it or bringing it down but it took only one lucky shot and that would give everyone hope. After the plane had gone out of sight that the transporter was Ernies because he had shot at the enemy leaving the damaged transporter with a sniper rifle, so Geordi the commander in charge of the defense of Osijek had given it to Ernie, I also found out that he worked...

Second installment

The word money has a way of working it's way into every aspect of life and my little crusade was not exempt, how much did I need to get to Croatia, how much did I need to survive on the way, it all had to be taken into account and most where and how I was going to get the money from that I needed. By inquiring at travel agents I found out that I could fly but only as far as Austria, Italy or Hungary but the price was much too expensive for me. Taking the train to any of these countries was also far too expensive, the cheapest way was by bus but the only problem was that it took so long to reach your destination. The bus that I wanted to take went from London and it's destination was Athens in Greece, it normally went through Yugoslavia but because of the war it was not going through Budapest then down into Belgrade before going onto Greece. This was the cheapest way to go and after further inquiries I found out the times and price of the bus, now all I had to do was get the mon...
