Hello Alain,
It is me Lise, your
former neighbour. You know, that with which you liked to you balanciner
and to walk you by bicycle. Which joy for me this evening of finding you.
I listened to this
evening for the first time the emission which passes to channel vox with
Pierre Paradis.
I acknowledge you
that I was quite glad to re-examine you, even if you currently live of
great dramas. We your neighbours have on top a small idea having been
raised by a father who made the war and which returned so much "fuck-top"
from "the top edge" as he said. The emission of this evening even helped
me to include/understand it a little.
You always were for
me a very significant person, you belonged to my early childhood, of my
adolescence. That you would be as you be me imports little. The Alain who
is at the bottom of you and who will re-appear one day is a Alain capable
of large things, merry, comic, funny. What is over all that today will
disappear layer after layer after layer until truth takes again to You the
top. I have the philosophical air as that but I think it and wishes it to
you of any heart.
The Mr Gignac who was
with your with dimensions seems to consider you enormously and it is
probably for you a good friend. It is rare good friends. And I think that
always were you and me of good friends. I saw it in another emission in
which one meets his family and his passion for wood. What a beautiful
emission!

Then, Alain, I hope
to have your news and thank you to have appeared at the television bus it
was very good to hear speak about you, of what you became and of splendid
devotion that you accomplished to help the other soldiers in this
situation.
Of your Friend Reads
Lise

Hello Dear Neighbour,
Thank you for your
encouragement, of your support and your witty remarks. Let us say that
that to probably help to open the eyes of several people, inside one week
after this emission, I met finally the best specialist in psychiatry than
the CHULL could have and I succeeded so that the ministry for
Ex-serviceman can have it with the services of the young military
pensioners for medical reason of traumatic stress post so that it can be
available for us at least a day per week to the PAUL TRIQUET house.
The CHULL, hospital
belonging in the past to the ministry for Ex-serviceman is famous with
through entire Canada as being the hospital number one to treat all types
of diseases contracted by our soldiers. That they are nuclear, biological
or chemical but moreover they have the best specialists in psychiatry,
except that that which brought best the surprise in my medication to me
when I was still in the forces and I was in critical phase in my whole
beginnings in 1999, that which I regarded as being the best, the large
head psychiatrist, Dr. Plamondon, we now have his availability a little
more easily for the reprocessed soldiers needing a follow-up because that
made more than one year that me had been signed a regulation and that one
had not been able to answer the request.
Now
I understands your Father, veteran of 39-45
Now I
include/understand, yes, now I include/understand your Father better. He
assisait himself in the swing all alone to outside consume a beer of time
to other and I felt at his place a certain internal sorrow which he sought
to crush. It was not him, not its kindness, its generosity, its large
heart which it sought to put of with dimensions because you had a very
good Father, but I smelled that he regretted something, perhaps not to be
as nice as he would so much have liked to be it near his children, of his
family, of his friends, perhaps the fact not of of having made enough
during the war or perhaps even as he wanted to be some y to have survived
through his friends, of his brothers in arms which he had lost. Me, which
in my innocence, I tried to make it speak, to know some more about the
war, of what it had lived, to try to imagine me to see M. Bernier with the
war, to intend it to say that it had received a blow of bayonet to the
bottom of the belly intrigued me.
I was fascinated so
much that I became soldier and I was considered to marry with the army
while being ready to intervene in all situations inside one two hours
period of opinion. Not allowing me to stick to anyone, I preferred to pay
the services and the luxuries of with with dimensions deserved well to
ensure me of better a stability in my availability.
But today, I carry
out my error because I saw at present what your Father lived and I know
now that it is not pleasant of always living in the past and being made
question on these things which make only the electrodes keys short-circuit
in the brain provoking divorce, fear, psychosis, paranoia going even until
death threat and commits suicide.
Today, 7 years later,
because for my part the whole began in May 1997, after several kinds of
drugs, having been a specimen of study and of doubt which were very
harmful to me in my cure on behalf of certain specialists working for the
Canadian Forces Armed in neurological study, these people who at the time
of with a lack of knowledge did not know which manner of interacting,
could not distinguish the reactions of a person in traumatic crisis post
is a little more to qualify to face understanding with people which could
try to pretend this disease and became true specialists today
Today, I am better, I
have a good medication, but I am conscious and I approve the fact that
there is a advance to make in medication, in the re-establishment. Lastly,
I have a life a little more stable, controlled better. I always have a
very good neurological follow-up, but at least I rise early the morning
and I am now able to achieve different stains personal not
stressing but selective. I have still certain weakness, but at least, I am
likely to be able to leave the city to exile me with
the country cottage the weekends because I prefer to flee the city, crowd
and any environment which could bring an additional stress to me.
As one often say, let
us go there, but go there gently.
Let us go there a day
at the same time.

Hello, Alain!
I am a little nervous to write this evening to you because I have the
impression to enter your private life... I am Diane, your neighbour of
youth. As Lise it wrote you, it invited me to speak to me about your
interview with Vox with excellent François Paradis... Wow! I was so much
moved and upset to see you! You nevertheless kept all your kindness and your
softness in your eyes. I know you little, and so much years separate us! But
I had in my memory by seeing you this evening there the funny kid which
frightened us with bumblebees collected in heap in a large pot of glass, I
re-examine you smile and laughter easily with the life, I re-examine to you
to make speed in the jeep in the fields with Valcartier... I was already
your momentary and I still remember it, me which had afraid (and which is
still afraid, moreover) speed. I recognized in you the beauty of your
mother, and coconut of your father!!!
Dear Alain, the life did not make you a gift with your current situation.
But, more young person, you appeared to me stuffed talents, of capacities,
of beautiful joy in life... All that is now hidden at the bottom of you, but
all is there still! With patience, hope, will, and especially with the love
of all those which love you, you will arrive there, I am certain. And
moreover, with a good psychiatrist, you thus have all the chances on your
side!
I hope that you will accept this message like a message of friendship. I do
not know yourself sufficiently to give you councils, I do not know anything
of what you lived. But, clings, you are worth the sorrow of it...
Be one good guy to you.
I kiss you
With forthcoming once, perhaps!
Diane Bernier XXX

Hello Alain,
I remain in Mirabel. Read telephoned to me to get information that you had
to pass to the emission of the channel vox "To live with" but I could not
see it. However, Lise spoke to me about it and I was moved. Sad. I cried.
One cannot remain insensitive in front of the sadness and the anguish of
somebody whom one known in his childhood. There is memory of youth which is
marked forever, and it is good to remember them.
You know, the life has sometimes quite strange turns and turnings. It is
enough to know the abyss to recognize that after great blackness, there is a
gleam, a light, a flash, and the rainbow. I will be always happy to receive
your news.

Take
time to remake you a health, but also take time to look after your moral and
your spirit.
Bye,
Marie-Claude, your former neighbour.

Hello Messrs,
Large a thank you for your nice word. Sisip and the chart Edge-Ex was
welfare benefits offered at the time
of my recruiting. In probation, I have make less than two months in my
functions with the Garrison of Valcartier. I was two weeks in rest and with
my expenses of this experiment of work not very developing.
I largely appreciate your efforts in these problems. Civil or veterans, all
and all
must be interdependent in order to wake up the conscience of the employers
to the healthy management of their employees.
Cheer Mister like your compatriots.
Sincere gratitude's,
Denise

Hello with you all,
I been really touched
by testimony and the presentation of the reality of our world such as it is
today in 2004. And also what did without, in the history of the world, at
the time of all these unhappy wars, which have pus to make considerable
innocent victims. And also the few events which marked the history in
general, for example attacks of 2001. Once again all my regards with tested
people. This Internet site, which I took time to visit with heart allowed me
to become aware once more that there are things in this world which should
not exist, of which the suffering of all these people who speak here, and
all those which live it at present and this everywhere in the world. It does
not matter the cause, which one must make to prevent it this suffering is to
pose a simple concrete action, which appears so difficult to us sometimes
but which is so easy, TO HELP the OTHERS in our entourage and to tighten the
elbows in the difficult situations. Forget the racism and all forms of
discrimination... TO MAKE PEACE with the whole world that starts by making
peace with our entourage. It is what I believe me personally. Since, when I
was at the school it does not have so a long time that there since I am a
young man, I found really difficult to see the racism which was present at
the United States in the years... I could not say which has this moment, but
what I remember it is that I was really in anger or almost to note that our
world could treat other people like least that nothing. It is a little
difficult for me to clearly express that, but I that saw as an inhuman act
it is all and it is that which we must do to disappear from our world,
discrimination and... With you to judge some more, but to respect the others
it is a good beginning. : -)
I hold has to say to you to you who
will read me: "Go ahead sink is able of you to leave there!! "And if what I
read today can be read by anyone, well which can make become aware of the
misery of our world. I believe that we will arrive one day at a victory over
this misery, and this day is close, since they belongs only to us to make
our share. I have a grandfather who lived the miseries of war, and I did not
understand why they did not want to speak to me about it about his military
service when I was very small, well perhaps that it saw what the army and
the war did in the world and which it suffers him also today, but it does
not complain since the army applied brakes to him before it can complain
some, this brake it is the pension of ex-serviceman. But I believe that will
be never enough to make forget all the suffering lived during all these
years. Then I you known as GOOD
COURAGE and do not be afraid to speak
about it, since after the listening of the report of the 3 former soldiers,
with channel VOX I wanted to write a small message of encouragement, while
hoping which to go well.
This report opened the eyes to me once more on the
atrocities of the war and the suffering, the misery of our world. I write
these lines with the best feelings for these people who gave their lives for
their country and so that we all we can bring the assistance necessary for a
better world.
Then goodbye and good courage
:-)!!! |

Which was not my surprise to be able to see your emission when, ironically,
I was in Valcartier with my wife to visit Quebec. This one required of me
why I the emission listened because it knew that that would annoy me to see
that the MDN does not do anything to help our veterans. My history is rather
that of my father. Then 20 days old, this one is made say that it has 2
choices, that is to say to go in Vietnam with the Force of Disengagement or
(indirectly) to reconsider with its career. Which choice, with a family (2
boys 3 years and 20 days...) This one leaves for one year and return a very
other man. That which did not sip a beer from time to time became alcoholic.
That which was calm, soft, comforting is now shouting, being to contain and
insulated... Fortunately, the chance is with us. It has Adjuc which helps it
and explains to him that it can be left there. The day of my festival of my
14 years, it looks at me, vacuum the beer bottle in the sink and "it says to
me is finished". With much of assistance and much of love, it is become
again the man who it was front. I had the privilege to receive my commission
by him
and lately, I had the honour to give the medal of the Nations to him Plain.
With you all which suffer, I can only wish you good courage and testify all
my love and, if you need a shoulder to you to comfort you. I does not want
any with my country to have to forsake its soldier who made only his duty
but I wants some with a government which closes the eyes on a problem which
destroys with small fire of the extraordinary beings that one names
soldiers.
In all friendships & to continue your battle.

Hello to all,
I read your
testimony's and one that brings a certain comfort to see the mutual aid
which there exists. Contrary to you all I am not reached a PTSD, but my
spouse did not have this chance. Just like the majority among you it were on
mission. With each one of these returns all seemed to be well. But at one
time the life, the past catches up with us, and when it had to leave the
military life, the memories came to attack it. Consequences for us, it left,
it left his wife and her two children, incompetents of living with his past.
One year already passed, the life is always also painful for him as for us,
but one can only leave time to make his work. The purpose of my intrusion in
your testimonies, is not simple to make you share that some among us are not
likely always to find the support that such a situation requires and I hope
that somebody will be able to guide all those which as me encountered
difficulties to find the support necessary. Because as you know it the PTSD
assigns all the family, but often they are forgotten. Thank you with all,
and to continue to keep hope.
Because all profit
from your beautiful testimony's.
