Christmas Day the worst two weeks every year for me then the day comes and another year starts and my loneliness and deep hole seems to just be remembering what I did. The lack of guilt that society says that any human being would feel for the things that I believe that I have done. This is the best day of the year for me because my family and I make it a special day. My three daughters are now grown and completing their Masters degrees this year, but they still come home. Christmas is a day that is memorable to them because we (as a family) have always made it, of sharing and giving. We have now expanded into their boy friends being part of this day. I have nothing to be sorry for on this special day. I do not know why the worst comes out during these weeks leading up to this day. I look and act so normal yet the conflicts and miss understandings of what is going on around me becomes inclusive. Can you live in and out of two worlds with out letting the other know. Can you try to be normal in this difficult society by camouflaging that you do not belong because you have no memory of how to belong. I know that at some point during the day my memory of being their will rage into believing some day “Peace” will be every where and harmony will be for all. I, yes this Marine will have a tear drop slowly slide down my face as I feel the loneliness of every deployed U.S. Military person on this special day of the year.
The most memorable part of this year was just a couple weeks ago when I read the story of how Jackson NH as a Village gives to two injured Veteran’s and their families. The good is all around us, we just need to see it. I make a point each day to see and dwell on the good that I see and feel. I do this by volunteering to help others. This is how I justify what We (our military) do, is worth the time and effort. We now as a society must be willing to correct the wrong in government with out the fear of reprisal. No matter how much hard ship, pain and suffering the NH or US government places on us we must always place the United States of America first. Jackson NH came together as one to give. It was as during WWII the U.S. came together as one to protect and defend our nation. I am a 100% disabled veteran that writes a letter every day that the newspapers censor. I am that person that causes pain because I believe in the United States. I live through the worst two weeks every year to repel the criminal hardships the NH governor will place on my family. NH elected officials have chosen to protect and cover up Judge Peter Fauver’s criminal use of the courts. Fauver use court powers to enable the Madbury NH selectmen to use government powers to get revenge on a local family the selectmen did not like. I volunteer my time to help this family and NH declared me a terrorist under the patriot act and took my freedom before dropping the bogus charges. Then the VA stopped my medical care for combat related injuries. My worst days of the year will mean nothing if we as a nation do not come together and make the newspapers print the truth. Publish the uncensored letters of a 100% disabled veteran and all the other letters from US citizens. Freedom of the Press is for We the People’s protection.
Freedom of the Press means nothing if only one side is freely printed. Freedom is why the Jackson NH story became so memorable to this 100% disabled Veteran. US citizens willing to give to make life better for others. Thank You America.
