Real Thoughts with Bob Benham

Introduction to Bob

Hey there…I am an upper middle-aged man who lives in the Mid-West of the United States of America. I served my country honorably for four years in the U.S. Navy and also as a Police Officer for 13 1/2 years in a major city. I was injured in the line-of-duty which resulted in me surviving a stroke, and was forced into a disability retirement from the police department I worked for.

I have been retired for over 20 years. During that time, I had the opportunity to travel all over the United States and a very small portion of Canada and Mexico. I also had the opportunity to meet so many people from so many different backgrounds and to have had some extremely informative and enlightening conversations with them.

In my years of life, I have seen way too many things that I wish I could forget. The human race can be extremely violent, harsh and cruel to one another. But then again, I also think that by seeing it, it has molded me into the man that I am.

Hence, my desire to start my own website. After some serious thought, I felt it was time to talk about the different things that are currently going on in this country, the world, and in life.

I am hoping that by doing this, I can still be of help to people. It is my desire to discuss a wide range of subjects from life that make people relate and think. I am sure that some of what I discuss will cause some very extreme emotional responses. That can be a good thing.

I am no recognized “expert” in anything other than living life to the best of my ability. Much of what I talk about will be my observations based on what I have seen and been through on a personal level. Yes, there will be opinion injected from time to time. That is just to be expected.

However, I just hope that if it reaches just one person that may be going through a similar rough time, or maybe just brings back a good childhood memory for someone, than this quest of mine will be worth it.
