[Go Back]

My story I feel I cannot find the words for.I was attacked by my younger brother and this is why I am a paraplegic.I guess I will never have answers why he did this to me.The conclusions that runs through my head he was jealous of me and what I had.I would have given him anything I had because we were brothers.I loved him a 110% and he was to wrapped up in hurting me to see that.He did hurt me!The thing that I will never understand is I went to Iraq and came back safe! I left the military to become a civilian and spend time with my family.Then the war starts all over again with my brother's anger and jealousy of me.This ordeal that I have been through makes me stronger and have the will to survive!Everyday is a challenge for me but I want to say to others please dig deep and look within! "NEVER GIVE UP on what you trying to do and will accomplish!!! BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!!! I would like to end my story by saying this: What This World Needs Is Love And Not War. Everyone Needs To Come Together and Don't let Race,Ethnic,Backgrounds Or Whatever Reason To Hate Get In Our Way!This Country Needs A Holiday To Embrace Each Other!Evil Will Never Prevail Over What Is Good And Right! Please I Call On Everyone To Just Think About How Better We Can Make This Country Out To Be!That is what my ordeal has taught me!!!Take Care Everyone.SAM
