Veteran's words on veterans day, Martha Fuller Clark, Chris Sununu

Kind Words My suicide was stopped by the kind words that naturally flow from the mouths of people we should all take lessons from. I have a bad memory from TBI one of my four service-connected disabilities. Some things I forget as fast as they happen. Other things I can describe to the smallest detail forever. Last week one-day in particular my flashbacks (PTSD) were so frequent that to know what was real just was not there. I could see, they were so close to reach out and touch the enemy as they pasted inches from me while I lay motionless in the ditch with the clip still on my belt. I become quiet and function in normal society as if it is just a bad day in the minds of others. I feel this coming on and try to be alone for at some point I become defensive as survival just takes over. In talking with Alias Sally about the Veteran Resort-Chapel the positive words of helping others keep repeating themselves in my mind over and over. The positive thought used so frequently by me (helping others) that and many other days as a US Marine to live to see the world back here just one time before I died. To complete the mission even with my death would mean other US Marine would not die. The results of the TBI took forever any memory of life back here in the states. For thirty-one months I wrote letters to strangers that were identified to me as family members. I remember how Alias Sally kept pointing out how this Veteran Resort-Chapel would benefit me. I kept saying how it was not for me but for the homeless Veterans of NH. Each time that day I got so close to suicide Alias Sally’s words it is I kept repeating them. The VA and NH government have nice people, we are all nice it is just not for us to see sometimes. I am not used to Government workers such as Alias Sally wanting to help me build something. Her words and personality are so positive the un-intentional consequences resonated in my mind this is what Vietnam was all about. This is what all the Wars and Conflicts are about. US Military Veterans are going to becoming home just like me. Something is wrong and this civilized society has no idea the reality of when there is no reality left. Homeless Veterans in NH must be given a chance. Alias Sally may be the silent medication that allowed the Veteran Resort-Chapel to be home for some that gave so much. I also want to thank Martha Fuller Clark and Chris Sununu for they in a different way but the same results as alias Sally showed me we the US Military do it for the safety and freedom of good citizens and that makes it right. This is Veterans Day and Marine Corps Birthday weekend. Civilized society will never have the ability to comprehend and accept if our lives are perceived dangerous for the safety of the community to justify censoring our words. Censoring the words of a US Military Veterans Day is Ironic. Peter Macdonald Sgt USMC Semper Fi 465 Packers falls rd Lee NH 03824 603-781-3839
