We’re all adults….
This is more of a venting post than anything else. This gives fair warning to the reader to use the back arrow to avoid reading this, not that it will be vulgar, because it will not, but because it is merely stating the obvious. I recently went to the VA (Veterans’ Affairs Hospital/Clinic) for an…

Ongoing Data Collecting and Observation

While I continue to collect the data and crunch the numbers from the ‘donated’ data I had received, I am awakened to the reality that no one in D.C. actually works for the people. I know this sounds harsh, but the sad reality is in the numbers. This week has seen dozens of proposed bills…

Doesn’t seem right…

As I am closing in on the conclusion of my data collecting for this current book attempt, I am getting less sleep than desired. So many things play a part in getting sleep, being tired is one of them (check), but shutting the brain off is another (blank). No one is innocent in D.C., but…

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,…

Veterans’ Affairs Update: 18 March 2023

In true Veterans Affairs (VA) fashion, they strike again! Recently, I received a letter in the mail from the VA explaining (admitting) that they were wrong in denying me of an award (disability percentage) from a 2008 denial. This is 2023 and they admit they were wrong for denying me the rating in 2008. For…

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),…
