Layton resident Terry McDade, a Vietnam War veteran, was given the Honor Roll for Veterans Award for his service in the Marine Corps and to those around him.
LAYTON — Terry McDade walked around Layton's Vietnam Memorial Wall replica, looking at all the names of the fallen, his reflection barely visible in the black marble.
Many of these winners also included nonprofits, businesses and employees who showed exceptional service by giving hope and advancing inclusivity in the workplace — especially for those with disabilities, according to a SourceAmerica press release. "I learned some of the things that you see flying on missions is not what you think it's going to be," McDade said. "You see people die. You see people die younger than you. People didn't know what it was like."
He applied to the PTSD program, and, with his wife present, finally began talking about his experiences. In continuing to spread his message, McDade finds any chance he can get to ask his fellow veterans to get help, whether that be on a video series partnership with Utah television channel KUED, or at the SourceAmerica banquet.
"Talking to 1,000 people down there saying, 'Please make that call' — will it help them? Might it change somebody's attitude? I'll never know," McDade said. The veteran had begun his service as a technician after Ashton had watched him work at C-A-L Ranch, unloading several pounds of feed and working tirelessly — despite being over 70 at the time.
