Designdiligence55 karma

good kids from good families? jesus, buddah and allah save us if that's what good means. thank you for taking the time to do what is right! i'm in NYC and people here talk about those asshats AND what you did to catch them. i'm not sure if you realize how grateful so many people are. gay bashing happens all the time and is often ignored by the authorities so thank you thank you thank you!

What’s the hardest sounds to convincingly make?

My partner is a similar 9/11 first responder and vet (but not wartime). You guys sound the same: amazingly resilient w unashamed love for others. Hang in there, brother.

Yes, this! My partner and I did it, but it only works if you have a good elected official. Example: Chuck Schumer did nothing so we went to Senator Gillibrand who is amazing. Keep trying. They also have reps within the system that can advocate for you. Don't give up. You survived a damned claymore. This can NOT be even close to the biggest challenge you have faced! Keep trying, please. Try the DAV or VVA. They are amazing. You also will feel less alone.
