Trey Peterson loves his country, loves his wife, and loved – his job.
Until he was fired. He said it was because he sounded the alarm on the hazards at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino where he and his wife both worked. He was a casino dealer. She, Deborah, was a server.
It was February 7, 2021, and a deafening alarm in the casino caused chaos. Trey, dealing cards, immediately had flashbacks to military training. “I felt helpless because my supervisor was refusing to allow me and my co-workers to evacuate,” he said.
Deborah approached Trey in a panic. “Why are you still here? We have to evacuate.”
