Many of us consider ourselves to be “history buffs” — we are proud that we can accurately recite the beginning dates and end-dates of major wars; of knowing the primary principals of each; of the sequence of Presidents; of who was shot and by whom; of when Fort Sumter was fired upon; of the day that Wall Street crashed, etc.
Dates are important to us; they provide a context for our present circumstances. Yet, history is also about individual lives — often lost in the anonymity of greater events, and few of us have the imagination to appreciate how previous lives were lived — of not having indoor plumbing; of getting water from a well; of not having a refrigerator; of being so poverty-stricken that death by famine was often a perennial cycle of acceptance.
Other people, and other lives we barely even know or consider. We barely know our next door neighbor, and yet we pride ourselves in accurately reciting authors from esoteric works of history. Of the history unknown, they remain a mystery.
For Federal employees and U.S. Postal workers who have a sense that your contribution to the Federal Agency is somewhat akin to the history unknown — of relevance no longer appreciated and work left unappreciated — it may be time to file for Federal Disability Retirement benefits. You medical condition has essentially rendered you a “non-person”. You are no longer a member of the “mission team”.
Consult with a FERS Attorney who specializes in Federal Disability Retirement Law and consider fading away with a Federal Disability annuity by joining the multitude of the History Unknown — or as General MacArthur once said, “Old soldiers never die, they simply fade away.” And so for the history buffs: Where did he say it and in what year?
Sincerely,
Robert R. McGill, Esquire
