Veteran Ladner carries military family mindset into law enforcement career BY RICK FAHR
SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN Lt. Jason Ladner’s military career ended four and a half years ago, but he carries his soldier’s mindset to work every day as the leader of Cape Girardeau County Sheriff’s Office jail division. Ladner served for nearly 13 years in the U.S. Army Reserve, primarily as a medic. He deployed to Iraq for nearly 18 months in 2008 and 2009 with the 955th Engineer Co. based at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. He also served with the 325th Combat Support Hospital based in Independence, Missouri. His Iraq deployment took him to Sadr City, a suburb of Baghdad. The time there led him to develop a sense of mission and teamwork. “You have a mission, and you have to be there for each

other,” he explained. “There was a bunch of guys who left with me, and we call came home. That’s a big deal.” Ladner, a sergeant in the Reserve, said the bonds forged among troops are strong and do not recognize time. “I have friends I might not see for four or five years at a time, but when we do see each other, you just pick back up. For those who understand, no words are needed, and for those who don’t understand, there are no words,” he said. Detailing difficult conditions in a combat zone, Ladner contended supporting fellow troops is key. “The guy next to me — the man to my left and the man to my right — are the most important thing. You keep him going, and he keeps you going, and that’s all there is,” he noted.
Such relationships become building blocks for a mindset that carries beyond the military. “When you are part of that, it is so much more than a job or a career, it’s a lifestyle,” he explained. “It’s not for everybody, but those of us who feel that lifestyle, it’s ingrained. It becomes who we are to give and to give and to give because that’s how we’re built. If you’re not giving, you’re not being you.” As leader of the sheriff’s jail division, Ladner said he has tried to build up the “unsung heroes” of the department. He said he embraced the position because he wanted the staff to have a leader who cares about them professionally and personally. He likened the jail staff to a military unit with a new mission each day. See LADNER, Page 2C
BROTHERS IN ARMS Jerry Lee Young, left, and his twin brother, Larry Dee Young, of Dexter, Missouri, are shown in this undated photo. The brothers trained together in Michigan before deploying to Okinawa, Japan, in air defense posts. They were fortunate to serve together throughout their three years in the military. The Army honorably discharged the brothers in 1961. Regrettably, for the pair, they were unable to serve in the Airborne Corps — an eventuality determined by an agreement their mother made with their recruiter and without their knowledge.

SALUTE TO VETERANS
Nation benefits from veterans’ continued service BY RICK FAHR
Opinion
John Dragoni served in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II. His military career took him to China, India, Burma and Guam. His experiences as a gunner were “very, very harrowing.” Then, like the veterans of that war and others lucky enough to come home, Dragoni found other callings. He worked in the automotive equipment business, traveling around the country and world for more than three decades. But it was his service to fellow veterans that became his new mission. “When I came to Cape Girardeau, I would go to the American Legion meetings, and all I heard was complaints about the old building on Broadway,” he said. The building, Dragoni said, was indeed in disrepair and not suitable — the stairs were too steep, windows had been broken, the kitchen ceiling was caving in. Dragoni did what many veterans do. He asked how he could serve.
Raising money for a new facility was the answer. Marshaling resources and not being squeamish about asking for help, Dragoni and others raised $150,000 for a new building. Then, it was time to find a new project — a new VFW facility. “People laughed at me, but I was determined to do it,” he said. And he did. His efforts helped improve the lives of veterans in this area, and that’s a part of his legacy. He is not alone. Military personnel often find themselves in a position to serve above and beyond the call. They seldom let such opportunities pass by. Because of their wide array of talents, skills and ingrained leadership abilities, they often help in significant ways. A sergeant in a National Guard unit saw a need within Joint Task Force Guantanamo to streamline a process within the task force’s public affairs unit. No one asked him to solve the problem; he simply did, by designing

A major returns from Iraq to resume his teaching career, and now, he mentors at-risk students on weekends and offers them a sense of purpose with lessons learned through his military experiences. A soldier who struggled with post-combat mental health issues serves as a veterans advocate in the judicial system, helping his comrades piece their life back together, one day at a time. Our communities are full of veterans continuing their service in one way or another. They fill the ranks of police and fire departments across the country. They teach. They use their abilities to help others as they continue to offer selfless service. A common thread bounding together these instances of service above self stems from veterans’ experience being part of a team, sometimes termed a “band of brothers” (and sisters). This shared experience compels veterans to lift up and en-

The biggest thing you learn in the military is you can’t do it by yourself. You really have to build that team.” JASON LADNER veteran, On the concept of team-building in the military and in a civilian career been able to use those skills and instill some of those skills in law enforcement,” he said. “When I came in, I brought that military family mindset. For me, the most rewarding thing is to see guys come in and really building themselves up and not only succeed at their job but be successful at their life.” Of all the lessons he gleaned during his military career, Ladner said one stands alone. “The biggest thing you learn in the military is you can’t do it by yourself. You really have to build that team.”

Col. Mike Stevenson carries an Iraqi child from the scene where a vehicle-born improvised explosive device detonated in Iraq.
Stevenson continues lifetime of service BY RICK FAHR
SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN Mike Stevenson’s service to country led directly to his service to community. The Cape Girardeau resident is a retired colonel who served in the Army, Army Reserve and Army National Guard. He is a family practice doctor of osteopathic medicine, and in his military career, he was an infantry officer and field surgeon. His deployments took him throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa. As a military doctor, he went where the troops needed him most. “I wouldn’t go to a hospital unit. I would go to a line combat unit,” he explained. “Basically, it depended on who is in contact with the bad guys. Whoever that was, that’s where I was because there were so few of us. We were kind of like chicken teeth — there just weren’t that many of us to go around.” Stevenson said serving in such a role was rewarding but also came with the threat of not being able to help in some circumstances. “You go out with good intent. However, sometimes, the situation doesn’t work out to where you can,” he said. He served in Iraq during a period when vehicle-borne and roadside improvised explosive devices were a favored weapon of the enemy. He recounted coming upon a bomb camouflaged as a rock.

“Do the rocks in Iraq have det(onation) cords coming out of them?” he asked the vehicle driver as he observed the IED, a 155-millimeter artillery shell. “I think we might ought to back up a little bit.” Serving in a deadly combat zone and trying to save the lives of the men and women injured in service to their nation helped prepare the colonel to return to civilian medical practice. “It made me a better doctor. Made me a better man. Made me a lot more patient. I’m more patient with pa-
tients,” he commented. “For that experience, I wouldn’t take any amount of money, but I wouldn’t want to do it over.” Over the years, Stevenson has often worked in emergency rooms, and he said the pressure of combat has helped him keep his head while treating patients. “I still work in the emergency room a lot, and where it kicks in there is it allows me to stay calm,” he explained. “In an ER setting, as I like to say, calm is infectious. Panic is also infectious. When you are calm, you can do your job. That has helped me immensely.” Red Cross volunteer Stevenson’s daughter, Maria, also a military veteran, serves as executive director of Southeast Missouri Chapter of American Red Cross. He serves as a community volunteer for the organization. His dedication to the organization stems from seeing firsthand one aspect of the organization’s service to servicemembers. While on a training mission in the Great Lakes area, Stevenson learned his father had suffered a medical emergency. The Red Cross located him and, with the military’s help, quickly got him to his father. Later, while he was in Iraq, his mother suffered a medical emergency, and then, too, the Red Cross found him and helped get him home. “When it comes to something like that with a troop,

Mike Stevenson and his daughter, Maria, executive director of Southeast Missouri Chapter of American Red Cross, attend a charity event for combat veterans in Memphis, Tennessee. they will move entire mountain ranges to get that troop home,” he noted. Military service is a family tradition, as Stevenson’s son is a veteran. His father served on a battleship in the South Pacific. These days, Stevenson is still practicing medicine and volunteering with the Red Cross. When he’s not doing those things, he is likely in his workshop tinkering with his latest hobby — making custom hunting knives.
It made me a better doctor. Made me a better man. Made me a lot more patient. I’m more patient with patients, For that experience, I wouldn’t take any amount of money, but I wouldn’t want to do it over.” COL. MIKE STEVENSON On how military service affected his civilian medical career “Don’t ever start,” he joked. “It’s a horrible vice, and there’s little cure for the ad-
diction. It’s a terrible thing to start, because it’s a lot more fun than it should be.”
