Plank Holder, 2nd Ranger BN, Ranger Class May 1976

Bruce Heerter, "Plank Holder" from the 2nd Ranger Battalion, speaks on his thoughts of service, the power of Patriotism and the importance of history. Heerter served honorable in the U.S. Army and for more than 30 years in law enforcement. As noted by one of his peers, Bruce was a man "not to be trifled with, but fair." Along the way we discuss, disrespect to Veterans (2:00), "Ranger School Every Day" (4:45), Ranger Lessons Learned applied to a career in Law Enforcement (6:40), a little Revolutionary War history (11:20), and personal messages to Veterans and America (19:30).   Application for and donations to educational scholarships for children of military Veterans can be made through this website LukeLeaders1248.com Music intro and outro from the creative genius Kenny Kilgore, lead guitarist for The Shadows @ Blind Willie's Blues Club, Marietta, Georgia.
