Marine to Advocate: David Willis' Unbreakable Journey

The MisFitNation Show welcomes US Marine Corps Veteran, David Willis. David's journey through the Marine Corps from 1997 to 2004 is nothing short of awe-inspiring. As an infantryman (MOS 0311), he underwent rigorous training at Parris Island, before being stationed with the 2nd Battalion, 8th Marines, Golf Company. His service with 2/8 took him on numerous deployments to diverse locations including Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Okinawa, South Korea, Greece, and even cold-weather training in Bridgeport, California. Demonstrating an unwavering commitment to duty, he extended his service to join the 1st Battalion, 8th Marines, Bravo Company, resulting in a deployment to the Mediterranean with stops in Spain, Italy, Malta, Africa, and other ports. Since leaving the Marines in 2004, David's life has taken a new direction. He built a family, finding joy in being a father to two beautiful daughters. Transitioning into the telecommunications industry, he's been dedicated to this field since 2006, currently working for AT&T. David's passion for aiding veterans shines through his involvement with various organizations. He co-founded the Communications Workers of America Local 3310 veterans committee, leading initiatives like "Operation Victory," which rebuilt homes for homeless veterans. Serving as president for the state of Kentucky for AT&T Veterans, a chapter of a national 501(c)(3), he and fellow veteran Gene Spear conceptualized a tiny home community for homeless veterans. In addition to this, David hosts the HomeFront Sitrep podcast, where he brings in 501(c)(3) organizations and veteran-owned businesses from around the country. Together, they share stories of giving back to their communities and fellow veterans.
