COMMUNITY BENEFACTOR

Patrick Rudd Project

A portion of the proceeds from this 9/11 Heroes Run event will support Patrick Rudd Project.

In Honor Of

SGT William Patrick Rudd


The Madisonville 1-mile run/walk is dedicated to the memory of Patrick Rudd.

While on his 8th tour of duty, SGT William Patrick Rudd, of Madisonville, Kentucky, was killed by small arms fire on October 5, 2008 in Mosul, Iraq during a ground assault raid in which U.S. Forces killed the No. 2 leader of al-Qaida in Iraq. SGT Rudd completed over 800 combat missions before being KIA.

Rudd was assigned as a team leader to the 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment at Fort Benning, Georgia. Patrick, known to his peers by the name Ricky, enlisted in the Army on October 2, 2003 and was a dedicated Army Ranger. SGT Rudd completed numerous military leadership schools as well as Airborne and Jumpmaster training and Ranger school. He served 2 tours in Afghanistan and 5 tours in Iraq.

For his service, SGT Rudd was awarded the Joint Service Commendation Medal, the Army Commendation Medal, the Army Achievement Medal with two oak leaf clusters, and the Army Good Conduct Medal. He was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star Medal, and the Meritorious Service Medal.

A 1999 graduate of Madisonville-North Hopkins High School, Patrick Rudd is remembered by his comrades as a great Ranger. Fellow Ranger, SGT Mark Williams, remembers that “Anything he did, he did with excellence.”

SGT Rudd is a hero to us all. He lived - and ultimately died - by the Ranger motto: Rangers Lead the Way.
