I came home last night to find a large package of Bounty paper towells sitting on top of my desk and on this was plastered a lot of advertising for the Wounded Warrior Project and there with his $hit eating grin was the face of a fella I know very well - not once but twice did they have his picture. I was floored. You see I know this fella quite well and learned first hand how he became a hero defending our country. How, during his six month stint as a tech sergeant overseeing the inventory of firearms at Balad(?) AFB in Bagdad he was blown up by mortar rounds four times (or five depending on the day of the week) in less than 3 weeks. How the air force refused to properly provide him medical attention and just stuck his eye back into his head and gave him a band aid and put him back on the line to fight off the hordes of insurgents that were attacking the perimeter. I also know first hand how during his six month deployment he went on 180 sniper missions outside the wire and how his spotter shot himself because the pressure was too great for him to endure. I've actually seen the knife he used to cut an insurgent's finger off during interrogation because he was also assigned to intelligence when he wasn't subbed out to the army or the delta forces. I've personally seen where the scars from the scrapnel is supposed to be but my poor eye sight just wouldn't allow me to make out the scars themselves but I'm sure they were there. His wife told us how they filed charges against a doctor because the doctor told him there was nothing wrong with him and he needed to go back to work but he refused. Its just terrible how the Air Force has treated this young man. I mean it not his fault they can't find any medical records verifying any of these injuries thus depriving him of his four (or five) purple hearts he should have leaving him unable to get the free purple heart car tag for his car. I can vouch that his injuries are so terrible that when he goes out in public he HAS to walk with a cane and has a bad limp. Of course maybe this isn't that bad since when he not in public his motor functions greatly increase and he doesn't need his cane so he is able to go hunting and do other things without that burdendsome cane. But after folowing the link that Bounty gave on their package I see where he also saved Dick Cheney's life! This guy never ceases to amaze me! What is wrong with the american press when we have such a hero in our midst yet you don't even hear anything about this! Its just unbelievable when we turn our backs on a hero like this and leave him to make due on handouts from the church, the wouded warrior project and a his retirement pension along with what little money he can earn buy selling government surplus he somehow came across. Of course some of it is really neat stuff. Thermal imagery and night vision. Stuff so neat the my adopted son's unit didn't even have access to it when he served in Iraq. I can only hope he gets his just rewards. Maybe it will come in the form of royalties when they film the next Jason Bourne film using his tale as the story line. It should be very exciting and spellbinding. Of course, his humbleness may prevent him from doing this because afterall, he neglected to tell the WWP about the fifth time he was blown up.
