Someone You Should Know: Major James Gant
Someone You Should Know is a weekly series that highlights the battlefield heroics of our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Bruce McQuain from QandO, a Vietnam veteran with 28-year’s experience in the U.S. Army, does a wonderful job with the series because he knows of what he speaks and he is an incredible writer and narrator.
Tonight he told us about Maj. James Gant who serves as chief of the Iraqi National Police, Quick Reaction Force Battalion Transition Team in the area of Balad, Iraq.
As part of his Project Hero series at QandO, Bruce said the following about Jim Gant,
His story is an incredible one and highlights the determination and professionalism these fine soldiers take to this tough and mostly unnoticed job.
The Someone You Should Know radio collaboration began as an extension of Matt Burden’s series at Blackfive.

Sir,
Just listened to this on your website. I enjoyed it very much. I am honored and humbled. My Iraqi interpreter who fought with me on this day and was with me for over a year is now living with me at Fort Bragg, NC. Once again, thank you.

I went to Junior High and High School with Major Gant. Have tried to get in touch with him over the years, but have not be successful. Knowing him the way I do/did, it does not supprise me that he has preformed so well for our military. He has always had what it takes!
