Homeless Veterans, Fosters NH newspaper, Dover NH, Andrea Bulfinch reporter in nh

Andrea: Reporter Fosters newspaper Andrea Bulfinch is a reporter for the Foster’s Dover NH newspaper and she came to 101 Stepping Stone Rd home to the future cabins for homeless NH US Military Veterans to live. I hope her article stays positive because there is no personal gain on my part for doing this. I have volunteered almost every day since coming back for the selfish reason that I came back alive and many better than I gave their lives for what we have back here in the “Real World”. Andrea was shocked as she first approached the property as this 100% combat related disabled US Marine was working with a chain saw. She could not believe that it was I after my descriptions in my letters of my medical condition. I am disabled do to injuries received while serving in the MC. I can do anything anyone else can do. I just have to pay the price in pain and discomfort for doing it. Many people have heard that I am disabled but when they see me it is implausible they believe it because I do not act disabled. I am a United States Marine that came back against all odds to a country that from one of my disabilities had no memory of. To take drugs as the VA wants and see life back here in the comfort of a drug induced state is not life. My helping Rick Stevens that volunteered his time and equipment to cut the trees and de-stump the lot was my obligation. My obligation is to help US Military Veterans homeless for what ever reason on the streets not go through what the VA and NH government have done to me and many US Military Veterans of the Vietnam Conflict. I hope Andrea take the time to realize US Military Veterans are people also. I told Andrea about Ricky Stevens volunteering his time and equipment and also about NH Executive Councilor Chris Sununu coming to the property and walking it in the rain and offering to help in any way he can. Then just after Andrea left a truck from Barrington Sand and Gravel drops a load of stone for the entrance of the driveway for free to help with the Cabins in the Woods for homeless Veterans. Andrea was worried that the town of lee told her there was only one cabin going on the property. This is true in order to get started with out going through a delay by zoning board, Site Review of the Planning Board and many other obstacles. The expense of all the tests and fees would have crippled even starting. She stops at the property and sees a 100% disabled person wheeling a chain saw sparks the reporter to have a story. The VA and many other government agencies get my letters every day. They will get this letter also. I have attempted suicide many times and will most likely do it again and may be successful just once. Flashbacks just come at any time sparked by almost any thing that triggers a memory. They have happened at the Lee Planning board director’s office, and many other places. Some times people get so upset they call an ambulance and I end up in the hospital. It has to be a civilian hospital because the VA stopped my medical care for combat disabilities until I stop writing letters just like this one. I even had a flashback in the VA doctor’s chair while getting my eyes checked. No medical care for the condition was given or was it even noted in my medical file. Andrea I hope you take the time to see what the US Military Veteran is before you write your article. Peter Macdonald Sgt USMC Semper Fi 465 Packers falls rd Lee NH 03824 603-781-3839
