I had a great day yesterday. First because of the wind the day before a chalk board sign at Young’s restaurant was damaged. I was asked if it was possible to fix it. Naturally with a little glue, hammer, nails, screw driver, I felt honored to volunteer to help a local business out. I fixed the sign and delivered it back to Young’s in time for my 10 AM appointment with the photographer from the mystery newspaper. I will not know the content until you the readers of the NH newspapers know. I am hoping that the article will tell the truth. That I am not a terrorist. I am someone that devoted my life to making the U.S. a better place for all. I am a U.S. Marine lucky enough to come back.
Ken was at my house to take pictures for the article. This implies to me that the copy editor must be going to allow a reporter to talk about me. Ken was one of those people every one should meet. With his cheerful attitude and job ethics he appeared to be a credit to the American way of life. He talked about the reporter Ray and assured me that Ray was just doing his job searching for information when he questioned my friends and family. That Ray was not digging for dirt on me just trying to understand me. Good or Bad, Ken said Ray was just searching for the truth no matter where it was. I felt honored to meet someone like Ken. He just makes you feel good.
I received a call from a friend who’s truck had broken down. He was at a customers house with his employee doing spring clean up. I just drove my friend to the parts store and helped him fix the truck. In the after noon I set a tent up for my twin daughters graduation from UNH this Saturday. I started to cut the lawn for my wife but I started to get the serious head pain. I left the mower on the lawn after I got up from the ground because I passed out from the pain. I sat on the back porch and had several beers to try to stop the pain. My VA medical was stopped as a method for the VA inspector general of NH to aid the NH government to prevent me from writing letters to the editor. My medical was restored six months later but now my medical is substandard and limited. The VA believes servicing me so the paper works shows the public I am receiving medical care will cover up the crimes in progress.
No matter what pain, I felt good yesterday. I met a nice person and helped others. I thought about what I did as a U.S. Marine. I looked up from my pouch and said thank you to those that never came back. I at one time never believed, I would be alive this day but to have three beautiful, responsible daughters graduate from UNH what a great day yesterday was. Memorial day is the day to say thank you but I felt yesterday was one too.
