The Gentler Side of My Wally (By Colleen)
Saturday, November 7, 2009 |
My Wally is a man of many experiences. I love him to death. He has had a real problem with the events lately, especially at Fort Hood, Texas. He was crying and also VERY angry about it. He was prepared to go out and take on the entire Islamic world singlehandedly. It took a lot of prayer and love to calm Wally down. Wally has Marine in his blood. He will never lose it. The USMC is a deep honored ...

I spent all day Thursday in New Orleans....Since I had traveled that far, I tried to just take a day and explore and sight-see.
I rented a Harley for the day. The weather was picture perfect....sunny and 79 degrees. I put 100 miles on the bike, just taking in water views, plantations, and landscapes. I rode along the river for what seemed like a long time as well...5 Comments -

This will be the last journal I write, I'm leaving DS. I don't think I can keep up the pace. It seems to help, but the rollercoaster ride is killing me. DS has been good for me I think, but it isn't something I feel I can sustain, so I'm going back to the way it was. Not great, but I can deal with it. I may get some professional help, I don't know yet. ...1 Recommendation -

Fort Hood, Texas: A Tragic Day For America
Friday, November 6, 2009 |
What do I say? My grief is beyond me. So many lives needlessly lost. People injured and on the brink of death. Families having the heart ripped right out of them. Please pray for these people. Please.
My flag is at half-mast. My USMC flag is furled. For a week, maybe more. These people were readying to deploy and fight for our true cause. Then a madman ended their journey. Supposedly a smart man. ...2 Recommendations8 Comments -

Having a hard time sleeping the last couple of nights. Not sure why as I'm not napping during the day. I'm also concerned about becoming addicted to the pain pills I'm taking for my shoulder. And, like always, the AFLAC paperwork seems to be going nowhere. I faxed the doctor's statement to my doctor's office last Friday. They claim they never received it. AFLAC is a good deal ... -

Veterans Information
This community is dedicated to all veterans of armed forces, and the health and life challenges they face.
A veteran (from Latin vetus, meaning "old") is a person who is experienced in a particular area, and is particularly used in Russia and the United States to refer to people in the armed forces. It often refers to retired armed services personnel. A veteran is one who has served in the armed forces and has an honorable discharge; a common misconception is that one had to have either been in combat and/or has retired from active duty to be called a veteran. Because of this widely held misconception, women have often been excluded from this equation. Each state (of the United States) sets specific criteria for state-specific veterans benefits. For federal medical benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals, prior to Sept. 7, 1980 the veteran must have served at least 180 days of active duty, after the above-mentioned date, the veteran must have served at least 24 months. However, if the veteran was medically discharged and receives a VA service-connected disability stipend, the time limits are not applicable.
