Cover Story VFW magazine “Honoring the WWI Veteran”. The VFW that exists today will not stand for or protect today’s veterans. To honor WWI, WWII or any other Veteran we must respect and protect what these hero’s gave their lives for. To give your life does not mean you died. To give your life means that you gave a part for a nation that changed you to something those 89% that never served can imagine. To charge up a bullet barraged hill, have F-14’s with hung ordinance land with in inches of you going 600 knots, to be the only American (as advisor) on convoys deep into the bush days at a time, to die every second of every day only to do the same the next day. Days, weeks, months, years pass as you dream maybe that you will make it alive to return to the “World” U.S. The VFW has become a charity pocket of draining money on the street corner to donate to others. The VFW should help Veterans with the money raised and with the power such a respected club has, see no U.S. citizen’s rights are violated.
I am a 100% disabled Veteran. I was arrested as a terrorist, lost my freedom for 6 months before the bogus charges were dropped. My VA medical for combat related injuries was stopped for 5 months for the political self gain of the VA Director in NH. I am running for District 21, NH state senate and the newspapers will not tell the voters of me, as daily they do of the other candidates. I volunteered my time to help a Madbury NH family that the selectmen used government powers for revenge against. Judge Peter Fauver knowingly violated the Constitution many times to protect these criminal acts. The NH supreme court covered up these crimes to protect their legal empire. I expose these wrongs in government and the NH governor violates the Constitution to stop me. My medical has been restored but it is now sub-standard and limited. I am a 100% disabled Veteran running for elected office and the VFW places it’s political connections above the rights of the people. The facts are clearly documented.
The people may not like me and may not vote for me but the Voters should have the choice. I, re-live every day what I did as a U.S. Marine. The thing is (as it happen my first time) I feel no guilt or remorse for it. Every day I hear the words of people that have never been their imply what we did was immoral, wrong. I spent 31 months overseas during the Vietnam Conflict, in some life changing sub-human conditions committing acts this civilized society condemns us for. I came back with no memory of ever being in the U.S. before from a (TBI) injury. I received three more life changing permanent disabilities combat related. The VFW and American Legion sends me letters asking for donations all the time. Why would I donate to an organization that does no longer respect what we gave our lives for. Think about it “The people’s rights must all ways come before the needs of government”. The only way to show honor to any veteran is never to allow any one right or any one individual to be diminished at all. This is a phrase from our Constitution.
