Daniel

OK a little about me. I live in El Paso, TX. I have lived here for about a year. We moved here in August 2005 after being medically discharged from the New Mexico Army National Guard in Rio Rancho New Mexico. Although we lived in Albuquerque from 1986 to 2005. I served the Guard from 1988 to 2005. I first joined the Army in July 1980 and received the Army service ribbon the Army Good Conduct medal the Federal Service ribbon, 5 Army Achievement medals, 5 Army Commendation medals, the Army Expedition medal, 3 Presidential Citations the Humanitarian Service medal, the Army Leadership ribbon with 3 Oak leaf Clusters and 3 New Mexico Medals of Merit a long with a few others.I like photography, I fancy my self as a very good photographer. I use both digital and 35 MM cameras. I will try to post some of my work from time to time.I also like to work on and with computers. At one time I was the most senior technician for AOL until they asked me to go to India to train my replacement. I promptly sent my letter of resignation to over 5000 people in the company and there stock still has not recovered hehehe MY BAD.After AOL I went to work at United Health Care as a customer service Rep where I worked my way in the myuhc.com department. My job was then taken over by Jamaica and India. So I applied for a supervisor position and was turned down. In 2004 while on active duty for training I broke my write wrist and was forced to resign from UHC because I could no longer type as proficient.While waiting for my wrist to heal The New Mexico Army National Guard sent me to Fort Bliss to be medically discharged. On June 3, 2005 My medical discharge came through and the Army paid me a years worth of medical severance. Turns out I was disabled with degenerative bone disease (osteo) sleep apnea and more. All was caused by being exposed to chemicals while serving in the GULF. Meanwhile I am trying to eek out a living writing and taking pictures.OK I will right more later
OK I just got a responce from one of my friends about a post that I re-posted from another friend. The responce came from a local radio station that is on my top list. My responce to that friend I will post here for all to see and I can only hope that they dont try to impose censorship of this as well. As seen on WIKIPEDIA ON THE SUBJECT OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH
Freedom of speech is the concept of being able to speak freely without censorship. It is often regarded as an integral concept in modern liberal democracies. The right to freedom of speech is guaranteed under international law through numerous human rights instruments, notably under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, although implementation remains lacking in many countries. The synonymous term freedom of expression is sometimes preferred, since the right is not confined to verbal speech but is understood to protect any act of seeking, receiving and imparting information or ideas, regardless of the medium used.In practice, the right to freedom of speech is not absolute in any country, although the degree of freedom varies greatly. Industrialized countries also have varying approaches to balance freedom with order. For instance, the United States First Amendment theoretically grants absolute freedom, placing the burden upon the state to demonstrate when (if) a limitation of this freedom is necessary. In almost all liberal democracies, it is generally recognized that restrictions should be the exception and free expression the rule; nevertheless, compliance with this principle is often lacking.

THE PASSION OF A PATRIOT
I am a Son a Father and a Husband
I am an American, a Patriot, a Soldier
I am a lover of Freedom, a Fighter for Freedom
An American Patriot, A Soldier of Freedom
A defender of the American way of life
I cried for the first time on September 11th 2001
My Freedom was challenged
My Passion grew deeper
My love for my Country Stronger
I CRIED for those lost
My Patriotism more Passionate
I Will Stand, I will Fight, I will not forget
I Am a Passionate Patriot
