Tjank you Casey for heping Rod out, up until afew days back he'd been my neighbor. I was one of the people he was trying to get ahold of when you came along. He texted me whete he was at and to call 911. When I got the text is when you must of got into service range. OSP went out and checked the area of the milepost where Rod said was, by then like a guardian angel you had rescued him. Thank you.

[@CaseyLaDelle]

MAJOR update since uploading this. In talking to Rodney a few days a later, I asked about the pins on his hat. He explained them to me with great pride, and then he said that the one most special to him stays in his pocket. To my amazement he pulled out a Purple Heart, that he received for his heroism in the Battle Of Mogadishu on October 3/4th 1993. Many of you may know that battle by the movie of it that came many years later… Black Hawk Down. This man has seen the absolute worst horrors of war, gave 20 years of his life to our nation, is medically disabled, and is now being kicked around the streets of town living in whatever vehicle he can, always trying to find a new place to park, all on the $1,600 a month that the government thinks he should be able to live on. Rodney thinks he is lucky that I came along when I did, but the reality is we’re all lucky that people like Rodney came along when they did. This is an absolute tragedy.

[@robinmcfadden3909]

He’s a hero. Thank you for highlighting Rodney and sharing his story. I’m happy he is the receiptient of the Patreon donation. 💕

I am SO GLAD that IMHO God put you there to help him!! I'm so sorry that I can't give more...maybe soon!

[@RobDeHarpport]

Awesome Casey! I believe that too often we stereotype homeless as drug and alcohol addled bums and thieves. I know I'm guilty of that. People like Rodney have actually contributed to society and have fallen through the cracks. He and other are doing the best they can with limited resources and trying to be responsible despite the financial difficulties. God Bless Rodney and you for all of your efforts to help others.

[@CaseyLaDelle]

@@RobDeHarpportexactly! I have always said that there area many different categories of “homeless” and each category needs to be treated in VERY different ways. We will never gain any ground on the homeless issue as long as we keep treating it as one single issue.

THANK YOU Casey! What you did by towing his disabled RV and bringing him to the Hospital very well may have saved his life. This is definitely a life changing event for Rodney, him breaking down and you coming along , well sometimes things are simply more than a coincidence. I believe in fate, you came along right when Rodney needed it the most. THANK YOU for being the awesome man that you are , thank you for having a caring heart and thank you for helping others.. "HOPE" is what it is about , "Helping Other People Everyday" ............ "HOPE" for a better tomorrow. Absolutely wishing Rodney the very best and SALUTE to Rodney. 🎖

26 years in the military, Glad that some still cares for us

[@making.a.difference]

Thank you for all you do. You are an inspiration by always making a difference. I am a fan/subscriber/patreon and truly look forward to your You Tube posts. I addition to volunteering with my local county 4x4 volunteer SAR group here in Washington, I am also a volunteer Veterans Service Officer (VSO). We help folks with the paperwork their VA benefits. We do this 100% free. What I noticed in your major update is that Rodney was only collecting about $1600 a month. That is extremely low amount, assuming that he is eligible for full VA benefits. I looked up on the internet to see if there is a Veterans Services Center in Bend, and there is. There should also be an American Legion and VFW in the area that has volunteer VSO's. As a veteran myself I know it can be hard for him to reach out for help, but maybe the local volunteer VSO's can reach out to this veteran. You have done enough, but I do know you still care. I saw the pins on his cap, and I know what they were and that they indicate that the wearer has done more than simply serve in the military. If I can help let me know. Doing right has no borders. Side note: that vehicle recovery from down the side of that vertical drop last week was spine tingling to watch, but awesome.

[@brianhendricks5326]

Casey Rod sounds like he is under rated as a disabled veteran at 100% he should get $4000 plus VA retirement. Consider contacting VA insiders out of Texas or a local Veteran organization for assistance. Thank you for helping make this a better world.

An amazing story Casey. Rodney's reality is horrible, especially being a disabled veteran. Our government unfortunately forgets those who gave part of their lives for the defense of this country and that is so totally unacceptable. Veterans should be granted a living salary and excellent medical care, not what they are getting. Please keep us updated on Rodney.

That's the way the government treats us vets. Most people do not realize that most of the medical decisions/benefit awards are decided by people who were NEVER in the military and act like the benefit money awarded for injuries service connected comes out of their personal pocket and have the attitude of vets are a piece of paper on their desk or just an entry in their computer. Much like social security office workers who deal with decisions and appeals.their mind thoughts of us is " Delay and refuse long enough and claiment/veteran will go away or die" so as to clear their desk or computer entry.
