Chris Sununu Day, NH Exective Council

Chris Sununu Day Excitement fills the air today looking forward to walking the property with Chris Sununu NH Executive Councilor. I met Chris at a District 21 debate with Ms. Clark this past election for NH State Senate. Mr. Sununu as busy as he is asked to see and walk the property for the Veteran Resort-Chapel. The only day in two weeks that it had to rain is this day we are going to see where soon hope will be that homeless NH US Military Veterans will live rent-free until they get back on their feet. I hope to start building small single person cabins for these men and women. The long-term goal is to put a road down to the water and may be five campsites for returning US Military and their families to go and re-unite for a week or so camping when they return from deployment. Rain does put authenticity in this day as US Military Men and Women deployed do missions to protect and defend our freedom no matter what the weather or conditions are. I want to go green (compost toilets) and keep the eleven-acres as close to undisturbed as possible. The Town of Lee does not recognize compost toilets so to start, the first three single person cabins has to have septic. On a small acre Connor of the lot I will start by cutting trees and a driveway in. This is where the first three cabins will go. Hopefully with planning and town help with the building code we will plan how to get homeless veterans into their own homes and off the streets. My dreams are big but hopefully by June the first homeless veteran will be safe and warm. This small part of the lot will be where the first cabins are built to preserve the rest of the property for long term planning of isolate cabins and paths for the Veterans to have a sanctuary for the long road back at their own pace. Personal knowledge and living with PTSD and TBI from my tour in the USMC this is my way (with my wife’s help) of giving back to all those that did not come back alive. The newspapers refer to me as a danger, nut, jerk and many other adjectives but the fact is my vision comes from living through conditions a civilized world just cannot comprehend. I have a broken back and loss of hearing in both ears from two separate Vietnam Offensives. Four Military disabilities and our government and newspapers use them to defeat my running for elected government position. These are the facts that create those coming back from deployment ending up homeless and alone. We must recognize how Chris Sununu coming out to see a dream of someone NH rates dangerous a positive step to helping Homeless Veterans in NH. I will understand if Mr. Sununu wants to pick a better day but to me every day wasted is that much longer a U.S. Citizen that fought for this nation is homeless on the streets of NH. There are not many NH elected officials that would put themselves out to help the unknown without calling for press coverage. Mr. Sununu is a unique individual NH must be proud of, No matter what Mr. Sununu has my greatest thank you from my heart.
