My Helicopter Crashed and I Lived to Tell About It - Retired Army Major Gerald Gangaram

"Gerald’s is a story of incredible challenges met with courage, character, and honor." Senator Bill Brock; 18th United States Secretary of Labor

He built his body in high school so he would be strong enough to defend himself in prison, assuming that is where he would end up. Instead, he went to West Point, later got an MBA from Georgetown, and a Certificate in Leadership from George Washington University. If you clicked here today be inspired and touched, you have come to the right place.

Despite early condemnation that he would not amount to anything more than a gangster, Gerald Gangaram is a retired U.S. Army Major, who many consider a war hero from his combat service during “Operation Enduring Freedom”. Raised by a single mother in a low income area within Queens, New York City, he always strove to improve himself and hardly imagined being the recipient of numerous medals along a career piloting the Apache – an attack helicopter his enemies described as “The Dragon”.

Now retired from the military after 11 years of distinguished active duty service, Gerald enjoys contributing to events where he can provide his unique perspective as a servant leader and plans to continue a life of public service; always forging forward.
