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.
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!
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.
@@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. 🎖
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.
On behalf of the entire human race, THANK YOU Casey. Thank you for being a good person in a world that desperately needs more people like you in it. Thank you!
I second that 👍
@@bombardier3qtrlbpsi I 3 RD THAT
IN ONLYDO CASEY ON Patroen noboy esle casey one special guy!!!!😇
Couldn't have said it better myself!!!
Well said! A lot has been said lately about "systemic racism", but technically, we're all part of the human race. Well done Casey, for all that you do.
Came for the tow truck content staying for the guy with the big heart.
Thank you for helping another Veteran.
Thank God and Casey for helping this man when Rodney said he has late for dialysis it hit home. I don't know if any one knows but you could of just saved this man life. GOD bless you. Casey as a old tow truck driver you put your life on the line to put that R.V on your truck. THANK YOU.
As a veteran, you paid me back in a good gesture (in my heart) not knowing he was a veteran that made it worthwhile putting myself in harm's way 55 years ago to defend this country and good people like you Casey. God Bless
Thank you sir for your service 🙏 🙌
@@tonydowd8566 Your welcome🪖
Thank you for your service. Nothing but respect for veterans. My dad, (WWII) served as well as my husband and my late brother. Plus my uncles on both sides.
Thank you for making sure hls hat was put into the motorhome, that hat is very special to him.
@@sonny9149 I think you meant your reply for Casey.
I AM A DISABLED VETERAN AND YOU SHOW CLASS. GOD BLESS YOU. I WISH THERE WERE MORE PEOPLE LIKE YOU.
Thank you sir for your service 🙏 🙌 ...
Thank you for your service, Mike.
Rodney is a blessed individual that it was you Casey that happened to be there when he needed you most. I do not believe that it was by chance.
This world would be a much better place with more people like you Casey.
As a disabled veteran dad with a disabled veteran daughter and another daughter still active duty, we can’t thank you enough!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
From a fellow veteran..
THANK YOU for helping out a brother in Arms
Love what you do, Casey.
Thank you for your service, Eric.
@@brianrydzeski6108 Thanks
It was my honor to serve
26 years in the military, Glad that some still cares for us
The world need more men like you!
❤ Casey Hits it Out of the Park ❤
Bless you Casey for all you do. I’m a Patreon supporter and thinking of upping my monthly donation. With so many selfish ugly things going on in our country it’s refreshing to see the real people out there working and doing good. ❤ I see also see good ppl around my community every day. Guess it doesn’t make front page news.
The news makes it’s money off of ad revenue, so they are only going to post what they think will get the most views. They don’t care one bit about positive and balanced reporting, they only want shock factor because it translates to dollars in their pockets.
@@CaseyLaDelle ain't that the truth! i gave up watching the mainstream news as the crap they report on is so hyped up and 99% not releveant
@@CaseyLaDelleABSOLUTELY!🤑 Spiderman Taught us that many years ago, LOL❤🕷💙
Supercool this to do something back for a man that give 20 jears of his live for your country Lucky theee are People Who knows beter then your coverment ❤
Unfortunately doom and gloom sells better than sunshine and rainbows fear will make people give up the rights and freedom our veterans fought forthe scariest 8 word sentence is I'm here from the government to help you
Thanks, a small jesture towards any costs incurred on the fellas rv?from BIGMICK IN THE UK 🇬🇧 👍
Years ago, I spent a stint as tow truck operator and as a Firefighter, it NEVER seized to amaze me the lack of willingness of drivers to slow down or at least get in the other lane! Stay safe out there and Thanks for taking care of this guy!!!
People have no respect morals or empathy for anything or anybody including themselves! Its truly disgusting what this country has turned into!
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.
What I give each month is small but what you do with it makes me very proud. I receive so many requests in the mail to donate to what I am sure are deserving causes, but here I can see exactly how that little bit helps. I will see about increasing the amount. Am proud to be a part of your efforts to help those around you. I hope that Rodney has been able to find a place to park his motor home. I began my ending to this note by saying God Bless you, but there is no question that your life is filled with love from our Lord. You are and example of what it means to be a good person.
As a disabled Army vet myself, thank you so much for helping this hero
FYI- Fees are 30% via RUclips. Only 3% via PayPal. You probably didn’t know that…but for future…
@@JohnHallgren FYI Yes I read that in the fine print. If it's OK with me, don't know why you would care.
Being in that spot gave me a tad level of anxiety - as I’m sure it did you exponentially more! “Let’s get this loaded and outa here!”
As a veteran myself, I thank you for what you did for Rodney.
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.
My grandson gave up his happy meal to a home lees girl . All he needed was the toy . And he was happy that she had that meal .
Another Vet thanks you Casey. People like you make our efforts to keep America Free, worthwhile. Thank you for your kindness.
So proud of the things you do with your Patreon.
Absolutely pathetic the pension of a decorated soldier while the gov supports hate wars around the globe. Hats off to you Casey for creating this selfless channel to let others help those in need. Used to be that is just what you did because it was right. So happy there are still people out there willing to do the right thing.
Like another viewer said, I rarely give praise to someone, I'm more likely to call them out on their BS. However you've proven yourself repeatedly and for that I say "Job well done!". There's actually 2 hero's in this video. 1st there's Rodney, secondly there's you! What you did exemplifies the very essence of a man.
Imagine being a Billionaire and having this kind of giving to others attitude. What a difference that would make to the world that the majority of us sometimes struggle to survive in. Bless you Casey.
Here is my 2 bits, I have no doubt you will put it to good use.
FYI- Fees are 30% via RUclips. Only 3% via PayPal.
Thanks! I was drawn to this channel by your chill demeanour & your love for helping people shows in every rescue. I keep all sorts of rescue stuff in my suv & absolutely love helping others, it makes me feel happy. If hoods up I’m stopping, & thank goodness I’m in a country that is pretty safe to do so. Just fyi to your sponsors I will be working in my office & will randomly have this pop into my head “this situation calls for some #yankumropes” or I will randomly call out “snatchblock, mechanical advantage”.
Thanks for helping a military brother!
Rodney was broke down on side of the road with no cell phone service. But as luck would have it, God was listening and sent one of his angels that he had working in the area.
Good on you Casey
That's why you're the best. You help people. You also care for us vets. God is blessing you and your family.
Thank you so much for taking care of one of my brother veterans! Much respect!!
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.
Everyone needs an Angel from time to time. That day you were it Casey 😊, 🎉🎉
I've said it before, I'll say it again - you are truly a Rock Star, Casey. I'm a retired Vet myself, so seeing you being so willing to do all the things that you do is beyond measure. I will be honest - until you started your project Patreon, I've been reluctant to join. Because of you and what you do, I am now one of your Patreon members, and I'm honored to support you in the work that you do.
Thank you sir for your service 🙏 🙌...
Thank you for your service, Duane.
You brought tears to my eyes on this one, what you did for Rodney is awesome .many of the veterans that gave up their youth, and mental stability for our country have to suffer and struggle daily. That shouldn't happen but thankfully there are heros out there that don't wear capes or camo ,their named Casey.
Capital A-M-E-N 😥!!!💝🤗🌹🙋♀️
😎👍God Bless ya Casey!
God Bless you Casey for being such a good person helping someone you dont even know.
Faith in humanity partially restored ;)
You are amazing for helping all the people out that you do!
FYI- Fees are 30% via RUclips. Only 3% via PayPal. Probably didn’t know that…
@@JohnHallgrenoh wow. So better to do it on his patreon then...
As someone who recently started dialysis like myself, I just wanted to thank you for getting Rodney to his dialysis appointment! That meant a lot to me! Thank you Casey for all that you do to help people! God Bless you.
As a Disable Vietnam Vet. I appreciate YOUR willingness to serve. I am so happy that I saw your request and became a patron partner in YOUR journey to touch the lives of others in such a positive way. THANK YOU CASEY. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
Welcome home brother . Did you catch the 20 yrs in , but only a E4 ? If he did 20 and has a heart and conflict time . Those are all points for a board ( E5) . Plus , most guys wear their heart on their hat before a marksmanship badge . I guess I am very skeptical anymore after running into lots of " Rangers , Seals and SF " who were in RVN . But can't even answer some basic questions about RVN . Stay strong brother . Sadly , there are less of us by the day . ( 68-17 ) doc gb lll Corp.
You need a cape because you are a SUPERHERO
Hello Casey, I'm a retired Sheriff's deputy and also drove wreckers for many years on my off days. I really enjoy watching your videos and really miss doing it myself. You really know what you're doing and also have a big heart. Thanks Billy
Dude i have a whole different respect for you now. You're a hell of a guy Casey and thank you for doing that
This is one of the many reasons I'm subscribed to this channel. Casey, you have a heart of gold, always willing to help out someone in need. The best part is that you're not asking or expecting anything in return. Absolutely PRICELESS
Thanks!

As a Disabled Veteran, I know how hard it can be to live off a fixed income and improve your personal situation. Thanks for helping a gentleman who is deserving of some special help.
Casey you have a special place in Heaven reserved. Thank you for all you do!
Thank You Casey for taking the time and energy out of your life for helping one of our own.
Casey from a retired Veteran i want to say Tank You for helping the veteran out you do great work.
Hey Rodney! Thank you for your service. I'm grateful to you. Without You, we would not have the freedom we do. This former Navy man Salutes You, Sgt. Rodney.
Here I am leaning over to see past what you can see. It didn't help for some reason. Been there, done that. Stay awesome.
Casey, you obviously, also, suffer from and abnormally enlarged heart. I sincerely appreciate people like you and to be more like them, you I appreciate. Very happy to have joined your patreaon.
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.
YOU ARE GOOD MAN. THERE IS ABOUT 300 HOMELESS VETS OUT THERE GOOD FOR YOU.
Casey....you da man....good on you for helping a veteran.....wish the country would follow your lead
Casey I wish that there were more people with a heart like yours. You are a God send for so many. Thank you.
Evidently, you were sent there at the right time when he was in need of you. Thank you for sharing this journey with us ❤
The world needs more people like you
Amen!!
Casey, thank you for your kind heartened. I'm a Vietnam Vet and I appreciate it when vets get help. You being there was a God moment.
The camera contraption works well. Thank you for your goos heart.
Thank you Casey from a US 🇺🇸
Army Veteran to Rodney
Have a Great Day 👍
God Bless America 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸 And Casey
Thank you sir for your service 🙏 🙌 ❤.....
@@tonydowd8566 Thanx Tony
Casey, you are a fine person. Compassion is becoming so rare.
You did exactly what I would have done if I were in that situation.
Your special guy Casey world needs more people like you. Straightforward straight talkin no-nonsense guy. I'll always be watching your Channel. Without guys like him we wouldn't have a free country to live in.
Thanks! From Clatskanie, Oregon.

Casey. You sir are a one amazing person. I just became a Patreon to help you with things like this. Your videos are always inspiring. I'm glad you were there in that moment to rescue that veteran. Thank you for all the good you put into this world. It is always needed and very much appreciated.
The world needs more people like Casey!! Well Done my friend!! ALL our veterans need to be fairly compensated for the sacrifices they made for our country!! Thank You for helping him man!!!
Casey that was great. Thank you for doing that. I hope you mentioned the parking brake too. Rodney will think an angel stopped to help him out.
So glad you can cover the repairs for Rodney. Hope it gets him sorted on that rig.

It’s people like yourself that are also deserving of being recognised for your service. Kindness and compassion for another human is always amazing to see.
there are decent people ln this world your one mate
I want to thank you for what you have done for a Brother Veteran.
This is what should be on the news kindness of a local business owner doing a great deed
Glad I could help even if it is just a bit. Thanks for doing this Casey
Thank you Casey for helping Rodney and thanks to Rodney for his service to this country
Fate made your paths cross that day and hopefully will shed more light on these problems in our country that need to be addressed.
Thanks Casey for sharing ❤
Casey, as an Australian ex-serviceman I salute you Sir, for taking care of my brother in arms Rodney. As others have said, the world is a better place with you.
Thank you Casey for helping that Vet. Some of the camera footage wasn't ideal but it was better than none and your safety is always more important.
As a vet myself , thank you Casey for having the heart and mindset to help a stranded Vet. I don’t know if you are still in contact with him but he should go and reapply for disability and see if the increase his percentage. I’ve gotten hooked on your channel and now I have my better half hooked as well. You are very informative and knowledgeable . Thank you for all you do!
May God continue to bless you Casey. You are a very good person.
You're a good man Casey!
Thank you for all you do. And do tell Rodney thank you for his unselfish sacrifice for our country so that we can live in peace.
Thank you for being a kind, caring human being!
God sure puts you in peoples life. Thank you for being that good human.
You are a class act Casey. Thanks!👍🙏🇺🇲
Wow, this guy was really between a rock and a hard place! You certainly saved the day, thank you so very much!
I sure appreciate what you do Sir. Being retired myself this could be me.
Thanks for helping out in any way you can! We definitely need to take care of these folks.
Thank you for helping one of our fighting fathers our government refuses to help.
From a disabled veteran in Wyoming, Thank you for helping my brother out
It would be amazing to buy a plot of land for him for his permanent home so he never again has to worry about where to park again. I wish I could do it but am tight with finances myself. Great video Casey.
everyone else has said it. I am a vietnam air force vet and you are such a good person. from a year ago hope this guy has gotten all he needs to get along in life. thank you casey.
From what I saw with his pins , one is his rank when he was in ( E-5 Sargeant ) , most likely airborne, and Marksman badge with rifle and most likely grenade ( I have the marksman badge myself with rifle and grenade ) . Thank you very much Casey for helping a brother in arms
The last one is the division patch done up as a pin
