” A man who wanted to change his name to God chose a new name when a judge turned down his request.

The former Charles Haffey’s new name is I Am who I Am.

The 55-year-old said he sought the name change as a way to gain release from feelings of anxiety and rage that have plagued him since he served in Vietnam.

“I was fatally wounded in the mind and the spirit,” he said. “I didn’t suffer any bodily injury. It’s just what I saw, what I did. I killed myself.”…

Last week, he bought a tombstone to be inscribed with his former name. He plans to plant it in the tall grass on his property.

(Who I Am) said it will read, ‘Charles Walter Haffey, born Sept. 23, 1948, and died Oct. 21, 1968, Republic of Vietnam.’ “
