To whom it may concern:

I write to you today because of my doctor informing me to battle through problem issues that are bothering me. I am now over 80% complete in writing my book called "The Shades of Gray".

The reason for writing my life experiences, prior to, while serving in my countries armed forces and after, is simple. I have been advised time and time again that my story should be told. So I am doing this to inform, educate and protect those who protect us.

Does giving an oath truly mean anything anymore? Is giving your life to ensure the safety and security of all Canadians worth it anymore?

In my book you will see how a young Canadian who, early in life, was taught the difference between right and wrong, yet came across so many gray areas that no one wanted to address or correct.

These are just some of the Gray Areas covered in my book:

- It points out the highest positions in the CAF, Federal and Provincial governments who failed when problem issues are brought forward.
- How the most junior officer was assigned the most difficult task of carrying out a serious summary investigation.
- How disobeying a direct order is allowable for senior CAF personnel.
- How even after clear evidence of being poisoned for six months during Active duty is an acceptable CAF way of life.
- How Federal department medical advisers work against you.
- How covering your own ass when things go wrong is the only ethical and moral way of life in the Forces.
- How medical and legal professionals forget where they came from and why they are there.
- How withholding vital medical knowledge that can save a person's life is the standard accepted by authorities.
- What tactics are used by both Federal and Provincial governments to discourage and break your spirit when battling for your rights.
- How Federal departments don't follow guidelines and legislation pertaining to one's rights.
- How the legal professional in charge of presenting and giving evidence works against you.
- How words mean nothing, and action is lacking.
- It will indicate clearly breach of trust, breach of privacy and abuse of power.
- It will indicate all avenues used and road blocks one can expect to encounter.

There will be many other points addressed in my book, and I pray that it will help save another individual from having to go through the same. I do hope you will enjoy the read, and please take note of what happened and is happening today.

Sincerely,
