Obviously none of y’all care about a man who served his country 20 years, saved 1000’s of lives, and actually learned to live with anxiety, depression, insomnia, ptsd by the way I never hurt my family. I may have acted up, but never laid a finger on my first wife, second wife, or third! Not to mention who actually stood beside me? Funny when you know the truth… did you have to learn to walk again twice? Did you have 10 surgeries, go through hell conducting surf rescues, where you gone 3/4 of the year for 20 years? Did you even fight for this country? What’s sad is way more popular have turned against me, than stood beside me! I guess that happens when your a Veteran, because everyone was pro me when I was on active duty. Pretty fucked up, from the day I took my uniform off to my daughters third birthday, I lost everything I believed in. Pretty sad, all I get did was run a spearfishing tournament everyone else got gear from and non profits got all the money from, and try my hand at taxidermy as a hobby, not to mention spent my own money just to buy a boat to take everyone else hunting, fishing, and Spearfishing.

What has this all taught me? I was being used! If ya loved me you wouldn’t have filed divorce #1 when she was 6 months old, it I was really your friend you would take me fishing and hunting. If you believed in American heroes you would understand the suffering we go through, went through, and the long road to recovery it can be. But no you either turned to your clicking ass friends and away from me, or ya completely lied and ruined me. Because at the end of the day, I am still alone. No one ever shows us. Unless it’s for a spearfishing trip, hunting trip, fish fry, or to fuck me over. I’m saying all this because it’s my opinion, all I ever did was try to grow a company called GatorGripp till One of them said I wasn’t a real hero and the other one told me to hang myself, then offer spearfishing women men and children an event called rigsreefclassicspearfishing and try my best at taxidermy for a few friends as a hobby called SaltySoulTaxidermy. Not to mention finally get to buy my dream boat a 25’ panga called SaltySoulPanga to eventually fish hunt and dive off. But sadly the second i was told to kill myself and wasn’t a hero from my company I was CoOwner of I was silent partnered, then I was accused of running drugs and humans so the panga I sold it! The second I was accused of working for poachers shut down taxidermy, the second they told me to kill myself I was silent partnered accused of spousal abuse and they told everyone I was a convicted felon! Sad but I’m not, not even now! Yes from 2019-2020 I used cannabis but that was only to get off 26 prescription drugs that actually made me crazy and made me feel hopeless, then yes I used Legally purchased HEMP/CBD from 2020 till 9 months ago. But guess what I have not drank alcohol in over a year, used cannabis in over two, or any pills in almost 4 years.

Yes unfortunately I made a bad decision but that’s after They tried to bribe and extort me! Threatening me and my family, stealing from my house, got broken into, someone emptied my bank account! I still wish I had my family, but till someone else makes a choice it doesn’t matter what I want or still love. All I’m saying is it’s sad everyone talks about support your veterans salute the heroes… I saved between 20,000-30,000 lives with the team I worked with who saved me? Who thanked me since I retired? No one in fact y’all all laughed and watched it all happen. Why? Did I ever hurt you? Threaten you? Take from you? Did you take me hunting or fishing? Did you save my life? Did you stand up for me in divorce court? Did you pull a gun on me? Did I pull one on you? What about physical abuse? What about verbal abuse? What about bribery extortion loosing your kids because lies…. It’s funny 😄 reported a a few things to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and Texas Veterans Commission not to have my marriage destroyed, but saved! Ya see I was protecting an invest my now dead mom trusted me with! She was owed $42,000.00 and never got a penny of it from Gator-Gripp in return they were supposed to have that back to her a few years ago by the way! It’s why I started posting on social media in 2014! Because before 2014 all I ever posted was me family pictures and fun! But thanks to social media my life’s been ruined! I love Corpus Christi, Texas by the way it’s why I share sunrise pictures, food pictures, fun pictures. I’m posting all this because I love my ex wife, missed out on my daughters birthday, and just want my family back! And for the haters to fuck off! I posted FUCK YOU, Texas because my brothers buried at FT Bliss in El Paso and y’all can bury my ass here at the beach! Because I’m not leaving another child!

I lost Mckenzie because her mom wouldn’t put her on the plane in 2011, refused to let me see her! And she cheated on me btw and used to throw the house at me! Most violent woman I ever knew! I lost austin and addyson when her mom cheated on me while I was deployed and slept with a guy who was the trainer for Corpus Christi Hooks while I was on active duty deployed! Thanks because that why I don’t go to watch the hooks! Real honest shit by the way! And then she moved away in like 2015 to go back to Oregon! Then I was promised the world told I would never divorce you, and what happened when I needed her the most? She didn’t forgive me and left me. When people are suffering help them! Specially men and women who served this nation! Real American heroes save live and make mistakes as well… I pray for peace love and forgiveness! I also pray people give me a chance again because I still love you Ashley! #AmericanHeroHealing from 2011-2018 #Corpuschristitexas felt like home, 2018 till now I pray it still can be my home #trialsandtribulations #revelation #freedomofspeechisahumanright #freedomofreligion #prolife #notracist #notcartel #notamilitia #surfman374 #DMR

Thanks to Hurricane Harvey I had to end my career at 20 years military service. And learn to walk again

What’s sad is I tried to end my life twice because they cheated on me, and a third time because I felt worthless the night before I retired. But now I love GOD, miss my kids and my ex wife.

Sad got a Gold Medal from Washington DC and Coast Guardsman of the Year a few times on the westcoast! Let me tell ya Gulf Coast it’s been brutal!

What would I love to do, #GOD, #Spearfishing, Health and Growing Cannabis and Hemp (maybe one day I can) can’t help but being honest! I love gardening … motivational speaking healing more Heroes, talking about making family whole again, anti suicide, sobriety, living a better life, being a father, hiking mountain biking whitewater kayaking and rafting… #love #cannabis #health #help #family #god true story even though I’m sober I still have a dream job and future isn’t that The American Dream? Shouldn’t I have the right to mine? DMR #AmericanHeroHealing #job #future

1st Reading

Exodus 17:8–13

In those days, Amalek came and waged war against Israel. Moses, therefore, said to Joshua, “Pick out certain men, and tomorrow go out and engage Amalek in battle. I will be standing on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.” So Joshua did as Moses told him: he engaged Amalek in battle after Moses had climbed to the top of the hill with Aaron and Hur. As long as Moses kept his hands raised up, Israel had the better of the fight, but when he let his hands rest, Amalek had the better of the fight. Moses’ hands, however, grew tired; so they put a rock in place for him to sit on. Meanwhile Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other, so that his hands remained steady till sunset. And Joshua mowed down Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

Luke 18:1–8

Jesus told his disciples a parable about the necessity for them to pray always without becoming weary. He said, “There was a judge in a certain town who neither feared God nor respected any human being. And a widow in that town used to come to him and say, ‘Render a just decision for me against my adversary.’ For a long time the judge was unwilling, but eventually he thought, ‘While it is true that I neither fear God nor respect any human being, because this widow keeps bothering me I shall deliver a just decision for her lest she finally come and strike me.’” The Lord said, “Pay attention to what the dishonest judge says. Will not God then secure the rights of his chosen ones who call out to him day and night? Will he be slow to answer them? I tell you, he will see to it that justice is done for them speedily. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”
