MY FELLOW AMERICAN VETERANS!
RIGHT NOW IT IS Very important for all vets of all ages ,all branches, and all wars-battles and just plain good old vets who joined or were drafted. (I'M VERY SORRY BUT VETS FROM COUNTRIES OTHER THAN THAN THE US WILL HAVE TO SEEK CONGRESSIONAL(or representative) ASSISTANCE by forming an alliance with the honorable men who have problems or issues with your own V.A.) NOW IS THE TIME TO UNITE AND JOIN TOGETHER, BECOME ACTIVISITS! if you want your selves treated fairly and up to the par you would get at best hospitals and clinics. but we must strike now while the iron is hot. Poor medical treatment and the possibility that we may be granted the use for our severe ailments that they can't identify!!!! I for one am sick and tired of being medicated to death and never having the actual illnesses addressed! Of course not all of the vets at the VA HOSPS are treated badly but we must join together in order to get attention for those of us who are!!!! Please contact me thru my PM here (friartuck) or at my personal email:
friartuck@munich.com .
WE CAN HELP EACH OTHER IF WE UNITE AND ORGANIZE!!!!!!!i SALUTE YOU NO MATTER WHAT YOU DID IN THE SERVICE.BUT WE ARE ALL ONE NOW AND YOU MUST TAKE A STAND NOT JUST FOR YOURSELF BUT FOR ALL YOUR BROTHERS IN ARMS! iF YOU DON'T WANT TO EXPOSE YOURSELF TO SCRUTINY IN THIS MATTER YOU MAY CONTACT ME AND I WILL TELL YOU HOW TO GET YOUR VOICES HEARD WITHOUT YOUR NAME EVER BEING KNOWN. PLEASE HELP US HELP EACH OTHER!
WITH MY DEEPEST RESPECT AND THANKS!

Mine was a choice , as it was for a lot of people back then , the lesser of two evils . Serve time for the "People", or for Uncle Sam . U.S. ARMY , Nov. '75 - Mar. '79 , 3 yrs. plus some "bad time". I ended up in the stockade for 90 days any ways , lol .

Peace to all my Marine, Navy, Army and Air Force brothers who died in those theaters of war.

It's a miracle I'm even alive considering the magnitude of the bomb they used to try to murder me. I lost the use of my right arm and hand. Doing things is harder for me than most others. Chronic pain from the war wounds, high blood pressure and diabetes..... all getting better now that I'm using medical marijuana instead of the doctor-dope (pills) and life is getting better even though I'm 50 years old this year!

Thank God for marijuana! It can even save the planet! It sure has helped me!

God Bless and Semper Fi!
