Veteran Urn



In 2011, I learned how my friend died of a heroin overdose.  Many people failed to understand my friend and his struggles.  He had a stutter and he never made it back mentally from Somalia where he served in the military.

His battles were real.  His last ride was on a Harley Davidson in an urn.  Another friend took him on his motorcycle through the streets of Fowlerville, Michigan.  His final resting place is beside a half-way house.

Gaining Confidence

Friday, August 9, 2019, A friend of mine and myself took a city bus to downtown Flint to enjoy the Flint Art Walk.  Taking a city bus was an accomplishment because I got lost in Washington state. https://www.eastvillagemagazine.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/EVM-08.19.pdf see pages 15 and 16 for my story on the various forms of transportation in Flint, Michigan.  I am now working as a reporter for East Village Magazine.
