This video was shot by me to capture the insanity of May 7, 2010, when the US Army invaded my home, lied to me, intimidated me, and tried to make me leave. This took place in a private home located off of military housing. The other videos in this series tell the full tale. This was my brief statement of what I understood to be happening. It turned out that two officers in the US Army conspired to mislead one of their spouses, to create a hostile and intimidating environment, and to inflict undue emotional and psychological abuse on the spouse of a Major in the US Army. This person accompanied my spouse under the direction of her battalion XO (Executive Officer), and only after I fought through the intimidation and misleading comments did I learn that this was all a manipulation of the US Army Chain of Command. If you find this as horrifying and abusive as I, then I encourage you to share it, to report it, or to do anything in your power to keep it happening from another spouse who has chosen to serve their country by remaining married to an Active Duty Soldier.

This Video is of my dad, Maurice Poirier, telling a personal story from WWII. There were over 70 Veterans (from Meriden, CT) honored today, and presented certificates of gratitude by the CT State Secretary, Susan Bysiewicz. After a ceremony of appreciation, Vets were invited to tell a story from that era. They have held 127 of these across the state over the past few months to honor our WWII Vets that are still with us today. Some fun facts about today: -The oldest Veteran present was 94. -There was a family of 3 brothers, all alive and present at the ceremony. -And there were 3 couples, all married for over 60 years, where the man and wife were both in the service during WWII. This was a day that I will NEVER forget. Please always remember to thank the men that have served our country, no matter how young or old.
Vice President Joe Biden, and his wife Jill, hosted a Veterans Day luncheon at their residence to show their appreciation for the troops. Check out more dod videos at dodvclips.mil
