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.
Rick Schroeder is a freaking hero
