SFC James Rade; saving the world one person at a time
A local news station in Illinois tells the story of SFC James Rade who came upon a woman who had injured herself when she fell from her horse while he was scouting for his deer stand;
“Evaluating a casualty, which I was trained on in the Illinois Army National Guard, played a vital role in what I was able to do for the woman when I found her,” said Sgt. 1st Class James Rade. “I went right into my military training and kept my mind focused on the well-being of the woman.”
[Susan] O’Rourke says Rade did save her life. “I would not have survived if it wasn’t for the National Guardsman that came along,” she said. “He was very professional and used his skills…he kept me calm and I trusted him to make the decisions needed to care for me and administer proper first aid.”
But the national media would rather tell about people who have tenuous connections to the military and commit crimes than the veterans like SFC Rade who are saving the world.

Well done, SFC Rade. Kudos.
Army leads the way, Sergeant. HOOAH!
“Always ready. Always there.” Those of you who have access to AKO please take a minute and send him a congratulatory note on AKO. Good Job Big Sarge!
First lesson in horseback riding is learn how to bail out quickly and land on your feet.
Second lesson is pay attention to everything around you, because horses like to spook over nothing.
Very well done, SFC. Rade! Hooah!
