Memorial Day
Memorial Day is a day to remember our fallen. Our men and women of uniform, who have given all they had, for their country. Memorial Day should not just be a ‘day off’ in May. Memorial Day should be every day, especially if you appreciate your freedoms. Do you appreciate your freedoms? I’ve had to…

15 Apr 2023: Sneak-Peek Update
If anyone actually reads what I write here, I wanted to show a bit of my ‘work’, since I am still crunching the numbers and collecting information. Since I made the (poor) decision to go back 50 years in my research, it showed me quickly that that was a LOT of data to go through,…

Been too long, but I’m back
I’ve been trying to accumulate and organize the data regarding the Committee on Veterans Affairs and all of the Bills associated with that committee. The amount of data is immense, more than I could have fully anticipated, which delays the book that I have been working on for so many years. Some may say that…

2023: A new year, new motivation
Swooping into 2023 will hopefully allow for new beginnings and swift recovery for those I’ve served with throughout the years. We all have our internal battles we fight daily, some worse than others, and time goes by too fast, that we sometimes forget our brethren we served with. I’ve been working diligently to compile the…

Closing out the 117th Congressional Committee on Veterans Affairs
Any veteran who wants to wake to the reality of what our elected officials are doing, while participants on the VA Congressional Committee, merely needs to spend some time noting the bills, who proposes, who cosponsors them, and finally: when these cosponsors jump on. Next, one should read these bills and note their substance. Keep…

Different Types of People
Despite attempts to help my fellow veterans, I find that so many actually don’t want help. Some don’t want help because they don’t want to put the effort in, some don’t want the help because they feel they’ll only get denied over and over again (which is how we get beat down by the system),…

They want us divided and asleep (but we have a choice to help each other)!
So many capitalize on the desperation of society when they finally see what is going on. For years veterans have been divided and fighting their own battles without the help of others. Why does this matter? Divided and alone is where our failed leadership in D.C. wants. They want this because alone, we are easily…

At What Point?
At what point do we wake up to the reality that is ‘today’? As of recent, I have connected with a fellow Special Warfare veteran who compiles information on veteran-related bills that get introduced in the Congress and Senate committees for Veterans Affairs. This got me thinking: this is important information that we should all…

The Battle Within…Invisible Wounds
In the military, we were trained to compartmentalize emotions, especially while performing our job(s). This, over time, can/will make it impossible for some to ‘feel’ again. Unfortunately I am an example of such things. Each day is a struggle. I struggle to look ‘normal’ and blend in with my coworkers. Each day I work twice…

Do your research!
Every class I have taught in the past, every student heard me say the same thing: Do NOT believe what anyone tells you. YOU do the research to verify what they said was the truth. Factual information is achieved when you do your due-diligence and research to find the correct answers. This is vital to…
