Command Sergeant Major (Retired) Samuel M. Rhodes retired from the Army in January, 2009, after 29 years of service, including three tours in Iraq. During his Army career, he was awarded the Combat Infantry Badge, the Bronze Star 1st Oak Leaf, the Legion of Merit, and seven Meritorious Service Medals. Diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in 2005, he was one of the first senior leaders in the military to openly state that he had issues with mental health, as a result of his war experiences. While dealing with his own struggles, Mr. Rhodes has worked tirelessly to encourage Soldiers and veterans to address their psychological problems and seek immediate help for them. His relentless commitment to his fellow warriors and their families has not only saved lives, but has helped them and society to overcome the stigma associated with mental health issues. For his personal courage and outstanding efforts, Mr. Rhodes has received numerous accolades, including those from Chief of Staff of the Army, General George W. Casey, and Sergeant Major of the Army, Kenneth O. Preston. In addition, in 2009, Lockheed Martin presented their Community Service and Global Excellence Award for Building Effective Relationships to Mr. Rhodes, honoring him for the great contributions he had made to the community. Currently, Mr. Rhodes is employed by the Army at Ft. Benning, Georgia, as the Program Manager for Comprehensive Soldier and Family Fitness. He is the founder and CEO of Warrior Outreach, Inc., and the author of Changing the Military Culture of Silence. Mr. Rhodes and his wife, Cathy, reside near Columbus, Georgia, and have six children and seven grandchildren.показать меньше
