Bio
My Marine and I have been married sixteen years and counting. We love each other a great deal, even if our day to day existence can get quite testy. We say we are each other's last spouse. CC was hit by recoilless rifle round in Vietnam in 1969 and was retired from the Marines with over 100% in disabilities. He has led a colorful life and now struggles as his mobility deteriorates and the amount of pain he is in accelerates. I am the Aaron to his Moses because I am his story teller, the chronicler of his escapades. This blog is mostly about our current VA experiences and what is like to live with a war veteran 40 years after the fact of war. PS, I am friending all who are veterans, or families of veterans (whether I agree with their posts or not) This is to make this a site where you can see the full diversity of those who pay for our wars. So if you "come out" as a veteran, family member or someone devoted to their issues, I will friend you.

Cussing and Cursing

CC is a profane man.
God Damn adorns 
most of his unguarded statements.
Shit and Fuck intersperse
questions and answers.

He is sarcastic,
but sometimes 
tones himself down to ironic

If one is thickskinned and patient
A streak of practicality running deep and pure will be found.
For he is a man whose
processes are not rote,
but individually reasoned.

CC is not for sale.

He is highly spiritual
if mindfulness counts.

and Ridicules Relgious Reason

But prayed the Lord's Prayer
when struck by a
recoiless rifle round
in a fighting hole,
atop three new guys,
beside his best friend
who was rendered dead.

CC's crippled right side
carries the weight of 
Gary R. Guest,
Fallen friend,
who died without him.
