I offer you my hands ~ if you ever come to Florida I will be there. If I can be of assistance to you please feel free to contact me. Don't give up, there is always light, we can not be defeated, your following is larger than you know and it is growing every day.

Ill tell you what did it... your body language. It almost got its own dictionary. Although you allowed my starstuck self a hug i could tell immediately. For it truly takes one to know one. Ive been labebled a major depressive with CHRONIC PTSD. Really Im certifiable paperwork and all. But like my favorite Pitt quote:<BR/>"you are not the contents of your wallet" <BR/>(i know you know what i mean)<BR/>meaning that no matter what THE VA<BR/>decides they cant make or break you and dont you dare let em. PTSD POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER is a euphemism for living life. Anyone who was alive on 091101 was tramatized if you own a tv cell phone or read the paper there was no escape from the faces of death.Even birthing and being born is tramatizing. basically if you are not PTSD in this day and age it probablys because your'e already dead. My conscience, depression, denial, and personal guilt morphed from a house fire to the lake of fire they call HELL. I (accidently of course)burned down the first floor, but to this day it has shaped my life from then on. But like the bible says HE gives BEAUTY FOR ASHES , STRENGTH FOR FEAR, GLADNESS FOR MOURNING AND PEACE FOR DESPAIR. im a little crazy but no Pyromaniac <BR/>(oh good movie 2 wtach early John legizamo " A pyromaniacs love story" A MUST SEE:) wELL bIG MAMMAS House is back and better than ever so you will prevail, just not the way you expect. Just like Zach De LA Roca WE MUST RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE.But keep in mind we are all part of the machine. Without us who will grind the gears? tHEY THINK they have you right were they want,simply step aside. they will miss. "Pull the truck over hand me the keys and let me drive you home," that what I would've if I could've. COntact the NIH in bethesda my mom got connects but u wont even need um. They have research trials for pTSD I qualified but got cold feet and moved to TEch with my ex - jason.<BR/>and guess what? They pay you for treAtment or apply payment to direct loans.however there is a risk you'D agree to be a lab rat really. BUT i cant tell you what to do. Just as cheesy as it sounds think outside of the box. the box being the VA. Of course they know you have PTSD, but assuming they also know of your activism. Your OFF limits as far as VA asistnace, you my friend have been blacklisted. Have you tried to reup? NO! DUH well guess what you are illegible if you have PTSD. You must Call me Punk I need to compare notes with you.more that I CANNOT state hear. Call MS.T. she knows where to find me. I,ve become somewhat or a rolling stone lately. I have a poem for you, but dont panic I just fell in love with this Jamican guy... really @ kid 19. Im robbing the cradle demi- style. And Believe me he is Jamacianmecrazy. But I would not mind looking into those everloving eyes of yours again, they burn like fire its electric. As you know Im a sucker for TRUEEYES.

I am the only person I know who wrote to the President & asked him not to attack Iraq. If only. . . . My mother, now 94 years old, often said, "If a frog had wings, it wouldn't bump its rump so much." My brother was in Nam, has PTSD, & has experienced some healing in going back to visit. His nightmares stopped after going back . ??? Not exactly an option for you right now. Unfortunately, the fact that we are all Americans does not mean that we treat each other with dignity and respect. Too bad that folks in the bureaucracy don't know that PTSD isn't an organic problem; it is a fully understandable reaction--a survival tool, if you will. It's ok; it's not ok to be discounted, but putdowns seem to be what many Americans do best!! Que lastima. What a pity! Godspeed.

Be sure to appeal, because you only need three items to get service connected, and the one they are claiming you don't have is presumed with a CAB. Ask for the Oral hearing. <BR/><BR/>Your DAV peeps should be able to get it fixed in no time. So long as the CAB is on the damn DD214, then the VA is full of it, and the good news is that when the Board gives you service connection, the check will be back dated to the original date of application.Thus Spake Ortnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04255305473685499201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8354759365640532487.post-60687176799745401782008-09-10T23:42:00.000-05:002008-09-10T23:42:00.000-05:00Adam, you're an example of what it means to be a t...Adam, you're an example of what it means to be a true patriot. <BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for everything you do.

I can say only say that you must keep the faith and fight the good fight. We as a new generation of veterans must blaze a pathe for other to follow. Please use this as fuel for our cause.<BR/><BR/>I was disturbed by your current post, that has become my fuel to help fellow veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan. Please remember that you have brothers that stand beside you and will be a pillar of strength when you need us. <BR/><BR/>In closing, remember this powerful quote from Thomas Jefferson: "Of liberty I would say that, in the whole plenitude of its extent, it is unobstructed action according to our will. But rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law,' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual."<BR/><BR/>Sgt Kokesh, you have the strength to and fortitude to over come this, I believe in you.

It was so badass seein you on CSPAN holding up that banner! Me and Joanna were cheering in our bed! I wish I could have been there with you man, but we were already back in TN.<BR/><BR/>Anyways, I thought you might get a laugh out of this: I was walking around inbetween classes today, carrying my umbrella. It started raining lightly so I opened it up and continued on my way. A minute later, the rain let up and I closed my umbrella. Before I even knew what I was doing, I was carrying it across my chest like a rifle, walking with it like I was on a patrol! Oh man. I know I spent too much time in the Corps.<BR/><BR/>I never saw that sandy hell, thank god. I stayed in the rear with the gear for my four luckily. Me and Joanna, we talk about the military. She really listens and tries to understand. I'm glad you have a muse. They help. But the cure comes from inside man. I know that may sound hollow and distant, but man, you got to bear it out. Stay strong. Keep fighting for others. That's what I served for. To fight for others, victims, the weak, etc. Same ideals, new mission. <BR/><BR/>I liked what you were saying at the Rally, about continuing to serve, not in the military, but within these other organizations and groups. That is right and just.<BR/><BR/>I've been able to talk a few people out of joining the mil this year. I freely talk about my experiences on active duty and what the transition back into the civilian world was like. It's harsh. Most are unprepared. And those truths keep many out. I tried to influence a few people at the local ROTC that their loyalty and duty lies with the Constitution. I got through to a handful. The others are too in love with the idea of being in charge and blowing stuff up. It's a hard struggle that comes with few victories, but that is duty.<BR/>And as Emporer Meiji said "Duty is as heavy as a mountain.<BR/><BR/>Here's a link to an article I wrote for the TN Libertarian Party:<BR/><BR/>http://www.lptn.org/blog/?p=95<BR/><BR/>I know you will understand what I'm saying.<BR/><BR/>Very respectfully,<BR/>Matthew JeffersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8354759365640532487.post-16555285335515435232008-09-10T21:31:00.000-05:002008-09-10T21:31:00.000-05:00I know it sounds irresponsible, but maybe you shou...I know it sounds irresponsible, but maybe you should consider taking MDMA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8354759365640532487.post-69254372758250568392008-09-10T20:13:00.000-05:002008-09-10T20:13:00.000-05:00Hey Adam.
