When Chuck Reaves was just 20 years old, he was a squad leader in Vietnam. There were no officers available, so he also filled the role of forward observer, directing artillery fire onto a target. It was a lot of pressure for a young man. Ultimately he was awarded the Bronze Star for his efforts.

When he finally made it back to the U.S., he saw his first American girl – and she spat on him. It was just the beginning of the shame and disrespect that thousands of Vietnam vets experienced.

Chuck overcame that, and built a hugely successful career in sales, founding SaleSSuiteS, a platform for sales development tools, and finally became a motivational speaker.

Despite all that, his heart remained with his fellow veterans dealing with PTSD. In addition to authoring A Boy Becomes a Man in Nam: Understanding the Cause of P.T.S.D., Chuck has touched thousands of lives by addressing the topic head on.

The Rescuers radio show provides an opportunity to spotlight people who are working behind the scenes to make this world a better place. These people serve as inspiration and idea starters to encourage others to find creative ways to impact their community, their city, and the world.

Host Art Brooks has spent his career in broadcasting, both as on-air talent and in representing the industry as president and CEO of the Arizona Broadcasters Association for nearly 30 years. He was the driving force behind an Emmy-winning series of documentaries on drug abuse that combined a phone bank of 100 seasoned counselors and history-making "roadblock," as every TV station in Arizona and many radio stations broadcast the groundbreaking show on the same day at the same time. He also was instrumental in starting AZ AMBER Alert (one of two states in the nation where broadcasters initiated the program), helped form the Native American Broadcast Institute at Northern Arizona University and consulted with broadcasters in Bulgaria to help build commercial radio as the country was coming out of communism.

Rescuers airs 5:30-6 p.m. AZ time Thursdays on KPXQ-AM Faith Talk 1360, beginning May 7, 2020. Based in Phoenix, it is available internationally online. We invite you to submit names of heroes you think would be good subjects for the show - just message us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/rescuersradioshow/
