The upcoming 5K run has lost a great opportunity to really make a difference, all thanks to a few closed minded people. I am speaking of an association that I am personally involved with that was originally invited to participate and was later asked not to.
I am Speaking of The Combat Veterans Association. We were originally asked to take lead on this run. Our groups mission is Vets Helping Vets. We will do various things like riding our motorcycles in support of Veterans causes. Raising money to help Vets and their families and providing assistance when needed.
A good example would be a vet we call Spence. He had a horrific accident vs. a semi. He was in a coma, awoke and when ready to go home, we assisted in making his home handicap accessible, assisted his family to put up Christmas decorations for his homecoming, got him a hospital bed and escorted his homecoming.
We are currently raising money to assist with his medical bills, gave him an electric wheelchair. The latter coming out of my own pocket.
In shunning this fine organization, the run lost out on as much as a thousand dollars in donations.
Shame to you closed and little minded people that didn't want motorcycles or as I heard it put, "a motorcycle gang" involved in such a good cause.
The Combat Veterans Association is a legitimate not for profit group of Veterans and their families that HELP Vets. I am disgusted at this and although I do not blame it's organizers nor WPRF, I have asked to be removed from the assignment of photographing and writing the story for the Reporter and was initially denied. The story has been reassigned now, and now I choose to completely boycott the event.
My apologies to it's organizers as this is not meant to be a reflection of their fine work, but for me, I choose to remain distant from the stupidity and prejudice of the naysayers. Good luck.
Spence's Homecoming 5-6 months after his accident just in time for Christmas.

Mouth service have reached new heights. Olga uses my name in a slanderous essay and even misquotes me, as does her buttbuddy edwardo with his childish nah nah nah type second grade writing. Really Eddie dee dee dee. I heard you had a degree. What is it in, stupidity? You should leave your girlfriend and hook up with Olga. You two are made for each other. Stupid is and stupid does. Anytime you decide to grow a pair, come see me. Until then keep saying it to yourself because it fits meoooow. Sadie has more balls than you and she's a bitch. Hell, even Olga has more balls than you, at least she signs her name to her drivel. Go home...you don't live here anymore. Chump.
