I posted some info in another thread on Ricky Schroder that apparently many did not know-

I am a Veteran & have helped out at a Veterans Charity for a decade, l have spent time with Ricky Schroder & he has been helping Veterans behind the scenes the whole time l have been involved.

He did a cross-country 4-day Vets Motorcycle Ride for charity with us a few years ago raising awareness & money for Wounded Warriors to get them specially modified Houses & Vehicles etc. He slept on the ground & ate & shot the BS with us around the camp fire & rode his own bike & opened his heart up to us revealing stuff the paparazzi would pay big bucks for, he knew we could be trusted as we respected what he was doing & his trust was never betrayed .

I did 4 tours in COP's in what we called the Taliban Badlands ,the lawless Afghan tribal areas right on the Pakistan border .Ricky acted as his own camera man & filmed a Documentary series on XVIII Airborne Corps and the 10th Mountain Division, Spartan Brigade fighting in Afghanistan, he was given access as he was friends with a 3 Star whom he had known for over a decade.

He spent months with the guys on the ground & on extended patrols, when he left he had prime T Bone steaks & care packages flown into the same remote COP's l had fought in to show his appreciation to the guys .

He joked to us that 99% of the young guys he filmed in Afghanistan had no idea who he was & most were not as old as his own son, he quickly learned to listen for orders shouted at "Hey Camera Guy" during fighting.

He is a stand up guy & a Patriot

If you look up his name he has his own Production company that has done a number of Documentary / series ,from memory they just did one on Syria a while ago,I do not know if you can watch them without paying .

Here found it-

  • My Fighting Season-A documentary series following American Soldiers in Afghanistan. Their footage. Their stories.

  • The Fighting Season - As the U.S. contribution to the war winds down and a pivotal election looms, the first free democratic election in its history, the Afghan Army and the remaining Coalition Forces battle to secure the nation.

  • Starting Strong-A civilian gets a behind the scenes look at Army Careers before deciding to enlist or remain a civilian.

The Volunteers TELEVISION

This 2-part series follows River Hagg as he travels to war-torn Syria, in hopes of documenting stories of the worst humanitarian crisis since WWII http://rickyschroderproductions.com/about-us/

IMO he will do a Documentary on Kyle as on a veterans group l am a member of some have been involved in providing security to family/Legal involved & they are saying Ricky put in 1/4 of a Million dollars, part in trust for the legals.

Bad ass. That applies to yourself and Rick. Love to be a fly on the wall when the guys discover his secret identity. And on a side note, I'm reasonably confident the celebs who appear in Wounded Warrior TV spots aren't doing it for the money, so my respect for them goes into the green.
