Spotlight: Daniel Gade

Daniel Gade returned to the show for a spotlight episode about a month ago. As with all spotlight episodes, there's a long flash-to-bang before airing since these are evergreen episodes that we use to cover down on weeks I'm probably too busy with VetRep. Daniel is an American disability and veteran rights activist, political candidate, professor, and researcher. He is a West Point graduate. He became an amputee in 2005 while serving as a company commander in Ramadi, Iraq. Daniel wen't on to serve in the Army until 2017, retiring as a lieutenant colonel. He was the Republican nominee for Virginia's senate race in the 2020 election. Daniel's book Wounding Warriors: How Bad Policy is Making Veterans Sicker and Poorer is out now and available everywhere - it was in pre-order stage when the episode aired, so don't be fooled - it IS available now!
