Ask the NH Governor

Written by Peter Macdonald

Ask the New Hampshire Governor, Who are the children giving their childhood for his freedom? Who is giving up a further education so that you can get one? Who is away from the ones he or she loves so that you can be safe? Who is the one living in constant fear of death while you receive a good night kiss from your child?

Who are the ones that never come home because your (someone they never met) freedom was more important? Who are the ones that come home socially unacceptable because of the conditions they lived for you. Who are the ones that relive with flash-backs deplorable events you call sin full. Who are the uneducated economically challenged low income peasants you look down on. Who are the uneducated or educated bum’s living homeless on the street using alcohol or drugs trying to accept this reality that they now live in. Who are these children willing to give everything because they realize that your freedom is only one generation away from extension?

We do not believe we are any thing special. Nor do we ask any thing special from society. We try to believe that we belong. We try to accept any thing we can to live the same life that those around us are enjoying. We try to hold on to the belief that our Constitution is worth the life we gave so future generation can enjoy freedom. We try to remember others from the start of the U.S. have given just as much. We try to believe that being placed in the Veteran’s cemetery in Boscawen NH makes the treatment that you gave the ones lucky enough to return is an honor. Ask the Governor if we mean so little that we must pay $200.00 to speak to an elected official. We are the Veterans and you refused to speak with me even after I paid.

Maybe instead of asking the governor we should ask the eighty nine percent of the U.S. population that never serves in the U.S. Military. We know you speak highly in public of “We the Veteran” but your actions speak louder than your words. Maybe we should ask all U.S. citizens if they really know what a Veteran is? Maybe we should ask the Media why they take a blind eye to the way New Hampshire treats disabled veterans?

We Veteran’s gave what you that have never been can possibly conceive, yet we ask nothing but peace and happiness for you-all
