NH governor Maggie hassan, to the editor
It is Great
People do not say to me, how can I help with the Homeless U.S. Military Veterans cabins. The number of responses of “it must be nice all these years getting that nice big disability pension that you can buy eleven-acres of land plus keep your own home just up the road”. I thought Andrea Bulfinch’s article last week in the Foster’s would turn attitudes around. I have commended Andrea for such a well-written unbiased article telling her readers the facts. My wife saved for thirty-one years we have been married to when our daughters graduated from college we could travel. My wife worked all those years just to makes ends meet and bring our daughters up to respect money and others. The money she saved and our home to re-mortgage and get the money is how we can do this to help homeless U. S. Military Veterans have a home to get back to the real world if ever. My opinion angers people because I say what is on my mind no matter who it may effect. My words make people hate me but please do not let that harm other U. S. Military Veterans.
One person even said he is going to send the article to the VA and get my disability pension stopped for using a chain saw. I send to many departments in the Veterans Administration and hospital my letters ever day, that I write one. I sent the VA a copy of Andrea’s article. I am seriously disabled but I am not dead. I have four separate disabilities. Three being Combat related to defend this great nation. I will pay the price in pain but to help those U.S. Military Veterans have a place to live respectfully is worth the discomfort. The VA stops my medical care until I stop writing letters just like this one. The VA red flag is a weapon to humiliate and harm U.S. Military Veterans commonly used by the VA to create fear in others so no one notices the neglect and rejection by this government agency. I know because they have used the Red Flag on me. I helped Rick Stevens that volunteered his time and his machine to clear the lot. Rick did most if not all the work I was just there and helped as I could. No matter what people say, I am not ashamed of my helping to make life better for returning US Military Veterans making the pain irrelevant just to give other Veterans a chance in the real world.
I want our politicians in Concord and all the residents of NH to talk about helping US Military Veterans. Barrington Sand and Gravel sent a free fourteen-yard truck with stone to help. This unexpected gift is what Andrea’s article will hopefully bring out. We do not see the good in people and businesses like Rick and Barrington Sand and gravel because they do it to help, not fame. This is what politicians in Concord talking about the Veteran Resort-Chapel being built in Lee NH will bring out.
My wife and I struggle to live a good life and are not complaining. If you believe U. S. Military Disability Pensions are nice then why do you not join the military and fight for the USA so you can get the facts correct. If you want to send the VA Andrea’s article the address is VA 275 Chestnut St. Manchester NH. Veteran helping Veterans is what I am, no more and no less. This is what the purpose of opinion letters was meant to be for in the minds of our forefathers.
