Valentines day massacre 2-07-08 Written by Peter Macdonald 465 Packersfalls rd Lee NH 03824 603-659-6217 NH.red.sox@gmail.com
On Valentines Day the Press is going to have a field day taking pictures of prominent elected officials shaking the hands of disabled Veterans. These officials will boost about how much they do for the Veterans. Of course it is an election year. I am not hate full although the press and Government officials tell you that I am. I have volunteered every day since I returned in 74 from my 31 month overseas tour helping others. Most of the time I do not even know the people that I volunteer help. I write honest, truth full letters about NH, the elected officials, VA and Veterans needs. These people that I write about do not like what I say so I am labeled by the media to make the public hate me. The news media censors the truth to protect these officials.
NH VA director of Veteran’s medical care stopped my VA medical for political self gain. Did the news report this? Did the news print the opinion letters that I wrote about this. “no” U.S. Military Veterans across the United States are being ignored or left to die alone on the street because the U.S. citizens are to busy to care. On Valentines Day the news media is going to publicly give the world the belief that you actually care. You talk about how these young men and women give yet as soon as the cameras go so does the caring.
I am rated 120% disabled because I was injured three separate times. Twice in combat support missions. When you add the percentage that each injury takes from me, I have 120% less in life than the average person. I relive my fist kill every single day. The entire United States knows about this cruel and damaging treatment by the NH Government to silence my free speech but no one cares. This is not about me. This is about the Veterans returning today and the veterans of past wars and conflicts you the U.S. citizens discharge as trash. These are the kids that once played in school that had promising futures as you that never served. 25% of the homeless are Veterans unable to cope in a society where to them reality just does not exist. The Veterans that you work beside that relives the tragedy of the inhuman conditions of war silently. The Veterans that can no longer relate to others or keep a job.
Discrimination by the American Legion, VFW, NH courts, VA, NH Gov. and others is illustrated by my case but it happens to veterans across the U.S. NH takes a 120% disabled Veteran and labels him a Terrorist, VA medial is stopped, harms his family, depletes his savings and much more but the U.S. does not care. “What are we fighting for, next stop is Vietnam” To a Veteran the only thing better than suicide is if we had never come home alive. You the United States of America claims to want to understand why suicide is a Veterans best care but you treat us like trash. I wish the press would start telling the truth. On Valentines Day make those handshakes more than an artificial token jester or create a Valentines Day massacre where Veterans can die with honor.
