The Captains America

BIOGRAPHY

I am a Vietnam Veteran with a son who is serving America as a career U.S. Marine Officer. I also am a 25 year Veteran Fire Captain who retired after almost being killed in the line of duty...

I am proud of America and support all of those who defend, protect and serve America keeping all of us free and safe...

Having almost been killed 3 times in my life, gives me a 'unique perspective' to comment on some of the day's events. To those with a 'doom and gloom' attitude, I won't agree with you! Always look for the positive in life because no matter how bad off you think you are, there's somebody in a lot worse shape somewhere else...

This Blog and "The Captain's AMERICA" Radio Show is all about the positive side of being an American and enjoying what others have sacrificed to guarantee us the freedoms we enjoy today...

May God Bless America always in ALL ways...
