These past few days have been discussed on National News, where’s President Obama going to speak, what happened in your local hometown to honor those who sacrificed their all for our freedoms. Some ask, “Did we do enough”, and other ask, “did we do too much?” I ask, “Will we remember the other 364 days of the year?”

HOPE, a simple four letter word, and yet it is one of the most powerful words in the English language

Through this series of blogs, “A Failure to Act” I have discussed issues relating to a failure to act during the planning stages of a conflict for the known problems associated directly with combat, and the significant rise in suicides of Veterans in fiscal year 2009.

A recently released, first-ever analysis of Army suicides shows that more than half the 948 soldiers who attempted suicide in 2006 had been seen by mental health providers before the attempt - 36 percent within just 30 days of the event.

New Jersey Rep. Bill Pascrell, co-chair of the Congressional Brain Injury Task Force, said an estimated 360,000 veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, or 20 percent, are believed to return with brain injuries.

Mel Gibson, at the end of the movie Braveheart, remember the blood curdling yell, “Freeeeeedooooom” said with such passion it resonates to this very day with the audience.

“We The People Of The United States…”

We’re not “encouraged,” we’re ordered by commanders to censor our prayers and sermons! If we fail to obey their “encouragement” Chief of Chaplains here claims we have NO LEGAL TITLE 10 PROTECTION to stop a commander from punishing us, when Senior chaplains ADVISE THEM TO PUNISH US (even during “Divine Services”) just like Chaplain Gragg openly advised CAPT Carr to punish me for quoting the Bible during an optionally-attended “Christian Memorial Service” in the chapel, and so they dishonored the Christian faith of a deceased member of my flock, who deserved a Christian burial.

Time to Wake Up America

“How do we right the wrongs of the past toward our Veterans” is a question I have been asked many times. My answer is always the same -- We first start by identifying the issues facing our Veterans and their Families, today.

The Past is the Past...Or is it?

“We the People” seem to be hiding from the truth about how many of our Veterans are being treated disrespectfully and disgracefully today. Not just by those who hate anything Military but by us, “We the People.”

When Will We Ever Learn?

Why do “We the People of the United States” allow our battlefields to be turned into an arena for “political correctness”? What do “We the People…” expect to happen when a combat soldier is confronted by the enemy and in a split second, must consider the “Rules of Engagement” and what is called today “political correctness”? This scenario played out a few months ago in Bagdad, Iraq, sometime in September 2009.
