Chip Gray:  

Life I was born in the US Virgin Islands. My dad was originally from the Boston MA area and he worked in the VI for the US government; my mom was from Oshawa, Ontario and went to St Thomas after a divorce. There they met and hence, my two sisters and I became. My dad was killed flying his F-86 Saber Jet when I was about two. My mom subsequently moved us back to her home town in Canada in later 60s where we bought a home. I lived in Canada thru my teen years where I played hockey, went to high school, “attempted” to play the guitar, experienced my 1st love, and after dropping out of high school, almost joined an outlaw motorcycle gang. My life was saved by my mom and an American war hero who was a Camp X alumnus (along with Ian Fleming and a man called Intrepid.) My uncle, also one of the original founders of the US Army Green Berets, saved my life when he and my mom hatched a conspiracy which resulted in my sorry derrière being hauled to Buffalo NY. A short while later, I was face to face with a US Army Drill Sergeant, and 8 weeks after surviving that, I was at Ft McClellan AL learning to be a cop. Who’d a thunk it, life is truly about choices! My Military adventures allowed me to finished High School and earn an College Degree and beyond. My overseas travels included 2 tours in Germany, 2 in Korea, and the Tri Country Middle Eastern tour of Desert Storm. My US tours included Kentucky, Seattle, Maryland, New York and Virginia. I also made some incredible life long friends to boot! After retiring from the US Army, I lived in Ontario, Canada for 4 years in the old family home I had purchased. I was assured by all that if I moved back; I would have no problem getting a great job. Aside from 4 weeks on an automotive assembly line job, I could not get hired anywhere. Finally I acquired a job as a security guard, guarding new GM cars in a vast parking lot. From there I managed to get hired part time at one of Canada’s largest shopping malls, and eventually took over as Director of security! From there I struggled under Canada’s brutally oppressive taxation. You see, with my military pension, and my salary from security, the Canadian government took half, which hellooooooo, I could earn that by not working at all because I didn’t have to lift a finger for my pension! I guess someone had to pay for that disastrous health care system. These years in Canada also allowed me to watch first hand as under the facade of multiculturalism, the Middle East is not so slowly taking over my beautiful childhood home called Canada! The new war began and Canada sided with Saddam. So I resigned my auxiliary position with the Regional Police in protest and became an activist of sorts trying to rescue Canada from the cancer of Liberalism. After appearing on TV and radio shows because of my Gulf War experience, the US Marines spotted me and came to my rescue, sort of! The father of a US Marine (who was at the site of the famous statue being pulled down in Bagdad) and who lived near by in Canada, called me for advice on his young Marine son and we became friends. One day he contacted me and told me to get a copy of the 2 Apr 2003 Toronto Sun and read the full page add chastising Chrétien for turning against the US. I wrote the author along with thousands of others and to make a long story short, we are now happily married and living in Southern California! My beautiful and brilliant wife is not just my best friend; she is one of my few personal heroes! Oh, and my life’s adventures are just getting started as our youngest is serving 4th generation defending the greatest way of life in the history of the world!!
