Thank you for your service. I'm happy to know the VA is giving you the benefits deserve. Even if the American people owe you nothing, you can rest assured that many, many of us still offer our thanks.Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02046979703345752085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345902794296696101.post-36574676605482167332009-09-01T22:50:44.449-07:002009-09-01T22:50:44.449-07:00Oh and thanks for putting the medals in your sideb...Oh and thanks for putting the medals in your sidebar.

I was a bit headstrong myself.<br /><br />I couldn't help but see how God used your attitude to lead you to the work He prepared in advance for you. Haha! And you thought you were in control all that time. :)<br /><br />So glad you got the benefits you were entitled to.<br /><br />Looking forward to more tales of the sea.Ediehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11154092288646304188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345902794296696101.post-22812979077796067962009-09-01T18:33:29.219-07:002009-09-01T18:33:29.219-07:00Kurt,

I wondered just what provoked you into joining. <br /><br />The story you shared was personal and from the heart. I love the transparency in every detail you shared. <br /><br />The best part you truly saved for last. That despite all the lengthy procedures to apply, you didn't give up. Now I can see where your character comes from. You didn't give up when you were diagnosed and almost died and you didn't give up when the VA said NO!<br /><br />Love your strong will and determination. It's in everything you write and take a stand for. No nonsense kind of guy. <br /><br />Love and Hugs ~ KatHeart2Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05240536955573366802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345902794296696101.post-89870770303318930372009-09-01T18:18:50.299-07:002009-09-01T18:18:50.299-07:00I just noticed that you took Edie's advise and...I just noticed that you took Edie's advise and put your metals on your sidebar.

He was a Gunners Mate 2nd class stationed on the USS Midway now on display at San Diego. I do not talk to him much, but know he was so fond of his adventures and life when he was in the Navy.<br /><br />I Almost joined, but decided not to when I was young.<br /><br />SteveGod a Have Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07858995106904349833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345902794296696101.post-90889820891474052982009-09-01T17:58:53.557-07:002009-09-01T17:58:53.557-07:00I AM SO GLAD THIS STORY ENDED THE WAY IT DID! You ...I AM SO GLAD THIS STORY ENDED THE WAY IT DID! You spent most of your life fighting and working for your country. The let down would have been a slap in the face.<br /><br />Navy Boot Camp reminds me of the Fire Academy. Ours is one of the top ones in the country and it is said that it is run in military style. You respect your officers. You don't question authority. Your life depends on it. And if you screw up, you don't do push-ups alone....your entire group does them. Now THAT'S incentive!<br /><br />Like Kelly, I thought you were going to say your first job was as a sniper or something like that. Exterminator made me laugh at loud. So did the Viking or Part Time Buffalo Hunter. Obviously that lady wasn't stupid. She sent you exactly to the right place.My ADHD Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12355981755069167730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345902794296696101.post-77173522781316529772009-09-01T17:02:49.858-07:002009-09-01T17:02:49.858-07:00Well the end of the first paragraph made me laugh ...Well the end of the first paragraph made me laugh out loud. I was expecting you to be a sniper, and you were an exterminator! Then when you said you didn't want to cut your hair, I was thinking "ah, oh, I know you have high & tight in the military." <br /><br />Great story, and I'm glad you got your benefits. You deserved them!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00458659497370768232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345902794296696101.post-53272656653681748142009-09-01T16:32:08.531-07:002009-09-01T16:32:08.531-07:00I swear, if it's not Elvis, it's you! &quo...I swear, if it's not Elvis, it's you! "Don't touch the hair"<br /><br />I didn't have the large stature as you, but I could kill me some termites just as good as you did, I'm sure. And, it was with a company in good o'le NC, back in 1983!<br /><br />Also, back in the day, I had more than one woman approach me in public just to let me know what she thought of my hair. Those were the days...Blaséhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08297191177174465494noreply@blogger.com
