These folks leave behind family and friends but usually return at the end of that service to those loved ones that expected a safe return home. There are also those that leave home and risk everything to safeguard people they would never have been aware of if not called to preform the chore of safeguarding another human being. They risk it all for folks they hope will one day be strong enough to help themselves. It is said that if you feed a man a fish 4 dinner he will be hungry tomorrow. If you teach him to fish he will never again be hungry. The point is this :Everyone at some point in their lives needs another with greater strength to help them out of a situation. When we are at a point in our lives that things have gone wrong, we need help to regain our strength. This brings me to an event that has great need to be set right. I will hope there are many reading this who can help this particular hero with a problem it is said the President of the United States will not lift a finger to help.I really hope that is not true...
There are many articles written on how neglected our armed forces Men and Women are while and after they risk their lives to save others from oppression. To go where others run and hide in fear from the forces of aggression.They go to places knowing full well what it is likely to cost them. They should be rewarded with the worlds best medical and their families should never have any future hardships. They already have the maximum a family should have. The soldier returns home after the battles, after the horrors of wars unimaginable carnage to a country that lets them down out of convenience. They become mentally disjointed,homeless,lost,misdiagnosed.
There are still others that try desperately to regain their lives with a condition called delayed stress syndrome. There is many more long term conditions that effect a combat veteran. Most dismissed as something else. It is more convenient and saves insurance money.It also conveniently denies responsibility for the damage to a veteran.
The condition of mind associated with the mental breakdown from soldiers under stressful conditions is extremely familiar to me.My beloved lady returned from the so called Bosnian Conflict after being sent to a hospital in Germany. The diagnosis gave her a Medical Discharge from the Military. They paid her the fantastic some of $400.a month for the remainder of her messed up life. I will miss her.
When a mom of a veteran who served twice over there in the quagmire we call the middle east. Where people of similar ancestor just cannot get along. Where the rest of the world is always being dragged into what amounts to a family feud. Returning home the veteran is then thrown away by even the commander and chief.
This soldier returned from the "War" after serving two tours managed to save 6 other soldiers, earned medals, and much more. He was a returning hero looking forward to a life at home in a country he thought would help him put his life together again. He was conquering the complications of a condition labeled PTSD.The mess this condition makes is not often brought under control by those afflicted. This strong heart was mastering his life as he had mastered his service time. That is what heroes do. They over come what they can.
March 31,2014:
Arriving in San Diego from his home in Florida, he made a wrong turn onto the freeway ramp. The ramp turned into a non-returnable one way funnel to Mexico. The things he had packed from Florida were still in his auto. He was still in transit .This included legal firearms which having no USA border people there left him at the mercy of the sometimes useless 911 personnel which said they couldn't help him. I wonder where the American Border patrol was during this. I have been to this particular area in the past. It has no exit once you get on the ramps or the freeway to Mexico. Unlike us who simply bus them home, Mexico only allows illegal firearms from governmental agencies for their drug lords to use. This border crossing is one of the many crossings setup that does not allow American Citizens to avoid the one way funnel that forces them into the corrupt Mexican Federalizes hands.
No explanations were even listened too. No reasoning was used by Federalizes.It is the same narrow minded anti-firearms logic being instituted in our beloved USA.Read the headlines regarding pre-Schoolers being expelled for pointing a "finger gun" at another.
This former decorated veteran was sent to Le mesa prison where both inmates and guards tried to kill him. He was then transferred to La Hunjgro Federal prison where he is to spend the remainder of his life in solitary confinement. So far only his loyal supporters such as I and his mother have tried to free him from his Mexican Hellhole. I have never met the lady, but I admire her courage in this fight.
I hope there is many moms out there reading this who will unite in this courageous women's fight to save her son...Hell has fury as a mothers scorn, Paraphrased of course.
The Gun Rights People have so far done nothing though their hands are still out for someone to support their causes. The human rights folks have not stepped forward to assist. There is only those of us who are trying to make a wrong turn'turn out right. I am hoping Military personnel reading this may know of a legal crowbar to force this war hero's release and would urge anyone reading this from anywhere in the world to PLEASE join into the fight to free this man.He 'did' enter Mexico who only lets gangsters and drug dealers posses guns. This is the same country that has attacked with troops, Mexican citizens who formed protective groups to stop the random murder and kidnappings of innocents.The same Mexican Government that sent troops to kill those citizen protectors, PROTECTING the drug dealers. The US Hero is being held because it is on the law books that firearms are illegal in Mexico. It is not surprising they are illegal for good people to posses firearms. Apparently it is competition for the Drug cartel run Mexican Government. No doubt making the corrupt government officials receive pressure from those gangsters running the country behind the scenes.Disarm the citizens and we will get you elected.Back those armed citizens and it gets you dead senior politician...Very corrupt system.
Please Support the growing move to free this man before the Mexicans Kill an AMERICAN HERO.
You can become a crowbar for justice. The olive leaf hasn't worked so lets use a crowbar..At least he deserves a trial by American Citizens in his own country. Bring this American War Hero Home even if it means a trial by his peers in Kalifornia.Thought here:if it happened at any other states border,would he have had more assistance with the federalizes?Consider the Future in this country?
To Support the drive to free Sargent Andrew Tahmooressi from The Mexican Hellhole they have throw away an American that's been left behind. Do WE THE PEOPLE leave one of ours behind ????would you want that to be the same for one of your Families? Remember the MIA/POWs we left in Southeast Asia
Go to Andrew Freedom Fund to find the Facts and perhaps lend a hand to free this man. I have not hears anything from all those political mouthpieces who always need a photo op.to say how much they have accomplished for the military personnel. Seems to be a silent void when it comes to helping our Proudly serving and inactive service personnel.
They are the finest fighting force in the world and the worst compensated. This a small chance to show the world we will not be leaving our best to rot in their corrupt shithole prisons when those criminals in their own countries run rampant and free over the system and citizens.
The fight for freedom is ever onward. Never surrender your mind.
RJP.
Update on this situation:The soldiers mother was interviewed on television recently.This man is still sitting in a crappy Mexican prison under constant threat of death by both inmates and prison personnel.United States seems quite able to intervene in Arab countries thousands of miles away while The Country just south of our national border seems to be just too difficult to work with.
Apparently thousands of illegal aliens are okay to cross into our country.However both our President (USA) and El President of Mexico simply agreeing by remaining silent,to just not get involved with The worthless Gringo/war heroes freedom.This is a fine example of the care and respect the American soldier has become familiar with.
Speeches to the world to help and ignoring one of our own rotting in a foreign,dangerous crap hole of a Prison.A soldier that walked innocently into a situation anyone unfamiliar to the border region of Southern California could easily fall victim too. Once more urge you to badger your elected officials too intervene and put political pressure on the Mexican Office of El President.
P.S.:lets barrage the Mexican Embassy with demands to release this man to American officials. You may Call (202)728-1600 or
write 1911Pensulvania Ave N.W.
Washington D.C.20006.
Please keep it polite and to the point.We can over whelm the place. The voice will be loud and clear that WE THE PEOPLE will protect our people and bring our heroes home.The no-one left behind will mean something.
