I'll return the favor. I see you won first price with this one with 14 reviews. You've lived quite a live. It sound like this flash could be filled in to make a novel. I enjoyed reading about your life.

Wow, that's quite a life. Thanks for condensing everything into just 150 words. Kudos for all your accomplishments! You showed us that in all life's ups and downs, God has a good plan over it all.

Thanks for reviewing this though I know there weren't any money or points connected with it. I appreciate you reading and reviewing my work. You might want to check out my story You Gotta Show Up.

I think I read that one, Earl. Glad you do show up!
Comment from Praveen J.
Wow ! In comparison I feel I have had a ridiculously sheltered existence. Thank you for sharing. I bet there's a lot of stuff on the cutting room floor that is worthy of a movie. I salute you Sir.

Comment from C. Gale Burnett
I truly loved how you shared your life with us. I find it hard to right about myself. Very smooth writing, and your style of writing kept me wanting to read more. Your story expressed so many of the emotions of human life ... pain, sadness, humor, failure, success, military pride (thank you!), perseverance, and much more.
This is a great contest entry!! I truly wish you the very best!

Comment from WryWriter
A very well-told story of adventure, heartbreak, war and duty to country, and the persistence of mankind to excel in all circumstances. Attitude is all that keeps one from finding the good in all things. Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.

Hard to condense one's life in 150 words, well done, certainly a life to be thank-full for, very full-filling, you should be proud and humble that it has all knitted together. Good luck in the competition.
Cheers.

I am very thankful for my life, i may have made some misteps but I wouldnt change any of it, even the bad stuff. The old saying what doesn't kill you makes you stronger is very true, I'm living proof. I appreciate you taking the time to read and review my work.
Comment from BeasPeas
This is an amazing write and I hope you'll expand on it at a later date. I am LOL as I'm not sure when you say "served 12 years then got out" if you were in the service or in prison. You've been through a lot, especially healthwise, and I'm glad you're doing better. This is a real success story. Good luck in the contest with this terrific entry. Marilyn

I was in the Army. Your the second one to confuse it for prisin. trying to pack 57 years into 150 words is tough, a lot of information gets left on the cutting room floor. I appreciate you reading and reviewing my work.

I know. We all know that and have been there, trying to leave in what we can and take out what we think we can. Good write.
Comment from LIJ Red
What is it with strong, virile, almost fierce characters and exploding aortas? My youngest uncle was such a man, strong as a horse, independent as Hell, and recovered, but never quite a hundred percent (72 when it blew). That makes my review save...I didn't count the words, but the story is clear. Good luck.
