I rode through Michigan about twenty years ago, so I could send my Dad a postcard from Hell! It got a laugh out of the old man, and since he was good, and kind enough to adopt a Cherokee Half-breed baby before it was “trendy” I figured I owed him!

Now that I think about it, it makes since that Michigan would have a town named Hell in it!

What I want to know is where were the people who’s job it is to look in on the elderly? Where were all these social workers?

And more than that, where were this mans children? When my Mother came down with bone cancer, I moved back home and took care of her until she died, in her sleep, in her own bed where she wanted to die. It wasn’t easy, but it was the right thing to do!

When my dad had a stroke, I took care of him! Even though the State made me put him in a rest home, I was there EVERY day, and if any of the staff, got disrespectful, they got a thick slice of me!

This poor old guy didn’t have a chance! When the electricity goes off, the gas heater doesn’t come on! They knew it! The fuckers knew how old he was! They knew how helpless he was! They let the man freeze to death because it would have taken too much time to save him!

Let ‘em all rot in Hell!

This story is exactly why! We need to remind ourselves of people like Martin Schur. We need to remember the times he lived in and the horrors he likely beheld as a wartime medic. This man saved lives. HE SAVED LIVES! He even received wounds of his own, risking his own life to do this for others. Artillery shells were exploding, bullets were flying, his pals were screaming in pain, and he was fighting all of this to patch them up so they could live another day.

Who fought for Martin Schur?

Someone should stand trial and answer this question before a judge! I don’t have to know Martin Schur to know that he was an unselfish man murdered by selfish people. He even sacrificed a more comfortable life in order to be able to help save even more lives! This man remained unselfish even after his service in the war, and the evident value he placed on human life should be a lesson to us all!

It pains me to know that he lived to see the world as he knew it become the selfish, disposable world that it has become. Even in death, he demonstrated that it shouldn’t be that way.

I truly hope that the remaining WWII veterans who are still alive are treated with a little more respect. No, a LOT more!

I know it won’t bring him back but someone at the Bay City Light Electric company has to be held accountable for this disgraceful act. In protest of the despicable acts done by our local power company, I’m not paying my bill until someone from the company contacts me personally. That way I can tell them face to face what a bunch of jackasses they really are.
