Amen.These brave men and women gave up a lot in order to keep our nation safe and sovereign. Many died for that cause. Today should be a day of thanking those for their service in securing our great nation and the freedoms we once shared; and will share again.

I am still defending this country even after retiring from the Navy after 22 years of honorable service and rated as a 100% permanently and totally disabled Veteran BEFORE the car accident. In 2017 I was in a bad car accident and after that the VA tried to make me commit suicide by taking away two thirds of my holistic care I was getting and needed BEFORE the car accident. I was hit by a guy doing 50MPH while sitting at a red light. The VA Medical Center Chief of Staff did that to me and he was trying to make me commit suicide via torturing me by taking my care away 31 days after the car accident. Instead of committing suicide I documented everything in real time and acquired via FOIA emails that prove the crimes that were also accidently NOT redacted. It is direct evidence they cannot get out of. I reported this to the FBI. I also exposed and is supposedly being investigated the entire NH Board of Medicine is corrupt because I proved that two people on the Medical Board were adjunct doctors when they worked at the VA hospital from time to time and when they did the Chief of Staff I reported was their immediate supervisor. In stead of recusing themselves and referring my case to the Federal authorities for judicial review they committed Obstruction of Justice and sealed the case. All ten people on the Board voted unanimously to seal the case and say there's nothing to see here, so all of them are criminals. So far no legal action of any kind such as the convening of a grand jury or any other legal proceeding to move this case forward has happened after almost five years. If somebody like me with my military background can't get justice after an attempted murder then we are all screwed. My case was referred by Deputy Attorney General Jane Young to the Chief of the Crime Division Geoffrey Ward and to Jeffery Strelzin the Chief of the Homicide Division in my State. I'm still hoping my case will be heard.

It's getting to a point where most of the guys I know who are still alive don't even mention it anymore. I hardly talk about it myself. We all agree that some things are best kept secret or unsaid. Look, I'm proud to have served, and am now living vicariously through my son, who is a Master Chief in the Navy [I only made it to E-5]. His Navy is different now, woke and such, and when I was in, they were different times. I would go back in a heartbeat if called up, but I won't be. What I will take to my grave is that when I took the oath, I became part of the Brotherhood - we speak differently, we believe in different things, never show disrespect toward Old Glory, give man hugs to each other, and often sit and stand in silence at public events or social gatherings. The only conundrum we face while alive is that we will never be complete until we die, for when I die I will get to see my fallen Brothers again for one or two last rounds. Hey, it was all good, one hell of a ride. The Red, White and Blue are colors that don't run, and anyone who tells you or tries to show you otherwise can go fuck themselves.
