Note: This episode of Danger Close originally ran in October 2021.  James Yeager passed away on September 1, 2022. This is a tribute to his life and legacy. As James would always close out his videos: “This is James Yeager for Tactical Response reminding you that your responsibility to be ready for the fight, never ends.” James Yeager was a police officer, private security contractor, and founder and CEO of the firearm and tactical training company Tactical Response. He had been a firearms trainer since 1994 and founded Tactical Response in 1996 on the principle of “Student First – Instructor Second.”     Yeager’s law enforcement experience included serving as an undercover drug enforcement officer, SWAT team leader, K-9 handler, and as Chief of the Big Sandy Police Department in Tennessee.     In 2004 and 2005, he worked as a private security contractor in Iraq, responsible for the protection of eight Iraqi Election Commissioners. On April 20, 2005, his PSD was caught in an ambush on Route Irish between the Green Zone and Baghdad International Airport. Three members of his team were killed. James discusses this in detail during the conversation.     How much does a million dollars in $100 bills weigh and how did James Yeager know?    What do you do if you lock your keys in an armored vehicle? Find out on the podcast. James was also the founder of libertv.com and its popular YouTube channel.  His Instagram profile is @mfceoyeager.    Sponsors:  Navy Federal Credit Union: Today’s episode is presented by Navy Federal Credit Union.

Nate Boyer is a Green Beret, former college and professional football player, actor, and director of the new movie MVP. The film is executive produced by Sylvester Stallone. Its official synopsis explains, “[it] takes place on the streets of Hollywood and centers on the growing friendship between a struggling recently retired NFL player and a homeless veteran suffering from PTSD (played by Boyer). The movie reveals the common challenges faced by military veterans and professional athletes adjusting to a new life once the uniform comes off.”   MVP stars athletes and actors including Randy Couture, Michael Strahan, Tom Arnold, Talia Jackson, and others.  The film’s release is accompanied by a fundraising campaign for Nate’s nonprofit Merging Vets and Players from the GNC Live Well Foundation.  In addition to being a filmmaker, Nate is also a former professional athlete. Even though he had not participated in organized football before joining the Special Forces, he went on to play for the Texas Longhorns before becoming the oldest rookie in NFL history at the age of 34 as a member of the Seattle Seahawks.  During his time as a Green Beret, Nate served on deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan and completed a number of JCET (Joint Command Exchange Training) Missions to locations including Israel, Bulgaria, and Greece.
