Hey guys, I not often post something regarding my military past, but I can't help it now. The past 20 years, most Dutch people have looked at Bosnia veterans with disgust and with the attitude of "I would have done better". An attitude without any knowledge of missions and mandates we were forced to work with. Last Saturday was Veterans Day in The Hague in The Netherlands, and for the first time in ages I felt more proud than ever. Proud to be one of a select few, proud to be someone who tried to do something good. Proud that my experiences and following problems made me the person I am now. Although I still see myself as a discarded tool of a "political correct" spineless government, I am proud to have worked with all these other people who are veterans too. I am not the type to join clubs but this is one I am a proud member of. A "veteran's club" with members worldwide. So, I just liked to share this with you. Cheers!!!

Thanks guys, means a lot!

Hi dear CA peepz... I have been lurking here for quite a while because Real Life was not what it was meant to be for me. I have wrestled through a divorce, being homeless and penniless, my PTSD flaring up.... just a few potholes in my road... As I am crawling out of that pothole, I am slowly rebuilding my life. I have an appartment now which is my own safe haven, I am the best daddy my son can wish and I have even found out that women seem particularly interested in me. It has been a huge boost in my damaged self esteem. At this moment I am investing in a relationship with a woman who wants to understand my 'war wounds' and offers me her strength to share the burden. She also is 'insane in the membrane' and a lot of fun. It brought back the spark of life. I am more than just a single father. Thanks to all these circumstances, my best friend (who has never served) , has offered me to go on a road trip to Bosnia. It will be my third trip down memory lane, and it is extra special because this year it is 20 years ago that I served with the UNPROFOR forces. We'll be going by car, driving to Srebrenica where a Dutch friend of mine lives in the surrounding mountains. He was part of the Dutchbat III forces when the enclave fell. After Srebrenica, we will go to my former base location (Busovaca) and to Sarajevo. After that we'll visit Mostar and we'll be doing the tourist routine there. After a few days, we'll continue to the coast and we'll be enjoying the seaside with hopefully a stay in Split or Trogir. After that it is road trippin' back to the good ole Netherlands. It means a great deal to me, and it certainly helps soothing some wounds. It certainly is another step in the staircase to an easier life. I will try to keep you posted on this subject, I really would be happy to share my experiences here with you. Cheers, Iwan

Right guys. It'll be radio silence from now on. I will depart for Bosnia at 06.00 local time and I will be home June 4th. There will be a lot of surprises waiting, and I will try to make an account on my adventures when (ìf!) I get back! See you later guys! Iwan
