Darrell Nealey enlisted and served as a combat medic. Then he was all about saving lives. How his story ended just goes to show that when they come home far too many are no longer valuable enough to the rest of us that we take care of them for a change.

BELLEVUE, Ky. —The man who crashed and died after speeding away from police in Bellevue, Kentucky, had a criminal history, but also a past that reveals him in a different light. Darrell Nealey, 46, died Tuesday evening while trying to get away from police in a stolen car.

Nealey lost control and crashed, police said. He died at the scene. The car was reportedly stolen from Russell Springs, Kentucky, in January.

Nealey enlisted in the Army and went to the Gulf War, where he served as a medic.

His mother has a certificate that shows he trained cadets at West Point. The certificate commends Nealey, saying in part, “Assisting cadets to learn the first aid skills needed to survive on the battlefield.”

Pope said since her son returned from war, he has suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder.
