On my return from war, no-one offically offered me any help to come to terms with normal life, i had to re-mortgage my house to pay for my own treatment, i did not receive a post war debrief, no-one in government and the military wanted to listen to me, so i locked up, place a big barrier around me and pulled on a happy face, i failed to show any emotion, normal life did not have any of the excitement of war, nor the horrors.
The government failed to take care of my welfare and provide me with a safe environment to work and fight, even though war is a dangerous place, the MOD have now apologized for the lack of respect, understanding and lack of recognition of the gulf war veterans conditions, but slowly the tide is turning and help is only just now filtering through, the NHS and the MOD now except that each other have been referring the problem to each other and avoiding the issue, thus creating a void for no treatment or help to be given to other veterans, this is now changing for the better.
This website is my mission to put something back into a NHS service that has now assisted me in my welfare and to undo the horrors that war's create, lets try to make a world of peace not war. As mental illness is on the increase, staff levels are on the decrease, so volunteers are needed to help, assist and support the NHS service were you can.
