Free-Stators
I read an article how back in slave days the Free Stators in Boston helped slaves fight for freedom. It is amazing how people for all these years have been fighting for what is right for all not just the chosen few. These individuals do not believe in violence and from my past history can understand that. Violence should never be a necessary part of a civilized society. On Craig’s list-Rand and Rave my letter drew harsh remarks from someone calling himself or herself a Nam Vet. He or she said that I should be over Nam as my claim grows old as the time past dilutes the effects of my four combat related disabilities. The comment was that the affects of memory walking down a path on a mountain hike should not bring back flashbacks of things in the past. I tell you this because also in today’s paper an article about head trauma and the undiagnosed head aches for a lifetime after. I have received mild and server concussions to many times to count or even receive treatment for. During a Vietnam offensive and the long wait to be relieved to go back to the hooch’s one receives many injuries and fights without even recognizing the pain or injury. The VA tells me that my head pain is imagined. The VA tells me that the Traumatic Brain Injury that took my complete memory of any part of my life before the MC is false even though the EEG shows different. The VA tells me my back pain is not there even though my ex-rays show a broken vertebra. My loss of hearing from being blown off the runway by jet blast, or hung ordinance and even enemy mortar attacks they give me a small percentage for. No matter what we as US Military Veterans have done in the line of duty equal rights must be extended to not only the Black Slaves and their future generations but to the US Military Veteran that this civilized society uses and disposes of. Veterans Administration medical misconduct is a common practice that goes all the way back to those free stator days in Boston so many years ago. The VA is a head ache that does not go away!
Newspapers will censor this opinion letter under the reason safety of the public comes first. Danger is what our government and the editors want the public to see in my character every time my name is mentioned. Harsh words by one individual will stop any responsible person from questioning these wrongs. To stop any veteran’s medical care as they have done mine for my service connected 100% disabled body cannot be tolerated in a civilized society. If I were Black the outrage would be all over the news. I am just a white person so government character assignation and to stop my medical care is acceptable. It is strange how color matters back here in the real world “USA” but over there our lives were equally tossed away for those that did not even have the willingness to fight for this nation that we all live in. The effects of PTSD and head trauma are harsh realities we as a nation cannot allow a few derogatory comments to isolate US Military Veterans from help. The Free Stator’s and everyone else should ask why editors believe to censor US Military Veterans opinion is a freedom they use? How would you like what they are doing to me to by you or your family member? Free Stators and all others in the USA exist because of we the black and white US Military Veterans.
