A Bridge Over Troubled Waters   
“Bridge over Troubled Water” is a song written by Simon & Garfunkel and released on January 26, 1970. Its lyrics are very poignant and held a great deal of spiritual meaning to me as a returning Veteran searching for answers after serving in Vietnam (1965-66). We came home to a divided country and were confronted with many questions about our role in what was considered an unwanted war.
 
We had few of the services provided to returning vets today and were left to fend for ourselves in the face of an ungrateful nation. Many suffered alone and paid a high price mentally, physically, and spiritually. I was one of the lucky ones, guided through the “troubled waters” of reentry into civilian life by a church pastor and former chaplain who had “been there.” He became my “Bridge Over Troubled Waters.” As a former pastor and chaplain with the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association (CVMA), it’s time for me to pay it forward and become that “Bridge” for others.
 
My mission is twofold. First, bringing Veterans and God back together by providing spiritual guidance, prayer, and fellowship. And secondly, helping returning vets and their families connect with Veteran Service Organizations (VSOs), non-profits, service groups (such as the VFW), churches, and other community groups who can help fill their individual needs.
