Twenty six years ago today ...I started my life with the man I will spend the rest of my life with.
He is one hell of a guy. I have many on here to thank for his rescue back in 2012. That whole PTSD episode set off a need for community outreach and
It started CUA. Thanks Navajo. Thanks to many. There are too many things about him I could tell you that would bring a tear to your eye of his compassion and struggles. A combat vet who struggled and struggled to greet the dawn. A man who I feel has the heart of Pope Francis with his giving heart and talent. A man who still picks flowers for me and puts them on the dining table. A man who respects me as a woman that he considers his equal. A man who has shared his life with not only me but raised 4 of our adopted kids (They were once our grandkids). They have access to college now. We still have the youngest.. our 11 year old who adores him, unbelievably.
A man who gives his entire paycheck every single month to this family so no one is hungry and homeless. His disability compensation could all go in his pocket for self but does not. We don’t have money. We never did. We do have each other.

This Merry Christmas card can serve in 2016 as well !
He has supported me with starting a small vet org, my advocacy and my Kos meetups. His love for humanity and family runs deep.
I am blessed. He is the reason I started my advocacy and he is my inspiration.
I want to share this special day with my friends here. I know the readership here is huge. I could say Happy Anniversary to him in a card but I thought I would honor this special kind of guy...A native American warrior with a heart of gold right here for the world to see, how much I appreciate him. Donald Trump is not fit to shine his shoes. All of Trump’s gold is pyrite compared to the real gold that resides here.
In Vietnam 1970This is my Vet. My Other half. I want to share some things with you guys.
