So my brother sent me, just before we get take calls, I just wanted to read this.

He sent me something that he was writing. My brother is a veteran and he was in Vietnam.

And he suffered a lot. He suffered a lot. Right now he's got a Parkinson's disease, pretty serious.

From the Agent Orange. They think that, you know, any of the veterans that were in Vietnam and got Parkinson's disease

automatically get the Agent Orange or get benefits for the Agent Orange.

It's because a lot of Vietnam veterans have Parkinson's disease.

Some of my brother Davis struggled with that, but he's found himself. His Parkinson's brought him to God.

It's really an amazing story. He wrote, he's written a book about it from darkness to light, which is a Balboa press book that I wrote to forward to and so on.

This is my brother. This is the guy that I lived with through all the years in the orphanage and the foster homes and so on.

We were very, very close. We slept in the same bed until we were about 16 years of age.

And we were inseparable. And then he went one direction and became a pretty severe alcoholic.

But when he got Parkinson's disease, he gave up drinking and he had been drinking every single day for over 50 years and smoking.

Camels, two packs a day or more of camels. Yeah, so he had a very, very toxic life and so on.

And when this Parkinson's hit, it's like, you know, he say that sometimes the obstacles, the struggles, the toughest things in our lives are the things that open the door to a whole new kind of awakening.

And that's what happens for him. He started writing and he started going to church. He said he found God. He's a deacon in a church now.

I mean, this is somebody who, after Vietnam and the horrors of what it was like for him, he was a medical.

He was an enlisted man, but he was in charge of a hospital group there because all the other doctors and so on had been killed.

He went through a very, very tough time emotionally. And when he came out of Vietnam, he didn't talk for.

He won the bronze star for, which is the fourth highest award for bravery and battle. And I didn't even know it for 37 years. He had never even told us.
