Hi Folks; I want to say thanks for all the prayers an advice. I honestly needed it. I was litrally at the point of leaving the Forums forever. No kidding. I have not been that incensed since my Service days. I'm still feeling that tinge of anger in my heart but I believe that it will subside as well. You see back in "them" days I was a hard drinking, hard fighting type of guy. I would think nothing of punching someone's lights out. sometimes for no reason. I was into booze, drugs and anything in between. I had 6 close friends die in a drug deal that went bad in NJ in 1982. God, through a series of events put me in the VA where I spet 4 months on a ward withdrawing from all the drugs in my system. Praise to God, I've been sober and clean ever since. It is now 29 years. I realize I drank and drugged to block out some of the carnage I witnessed and assisted with. Today all I need is Christ.!!!!!! BUUUT there are times when "that" type of anger rears it's ugly head. When it does it scares the, being nice, tar out of me. This situation with the Coast Guard Symbol really got under my skin. I will always reserve the Right to protect and honor my Branch of Service, The US Coast Guard. Anyway enogh said for now. Again thanks everyone for your prayers. Keep them up. I can alway's use them.
Thanks. PEACE:RONB
