#YoureNotAlone #BeSomeonesStranger

In this laid-back episode of HomeFront SitRep, hosts David Willis and Gunny Samuel Deeds take a break from the guest interviews and sit down for an old-school conversation between two Marines who aren’t afraid to say what’s on their minds.

From veteran life and current issues affecting the military community to the stories behind the newest HomeFront SitRep merchandise, Willis and Gunny go back and forth with the humor, honesty, and brotherhood that listeners have come to expect.

The conversation covers everything from the meaning behind the new #YoureNotAlone, #BeSomeonesStranger, Marine It Down, R.E.D., and Spicy Pineapple shirts, to why building connections in the veteran community matters now more than ever.

No script. No filters. Just two veterans talking about life, service, community, and the mission that continues long after the uniform comes off.

Whether you’re a veteran, active-duty service member, military Family member, or simply someone who supports those who serve, this episode offers laughs, perspective, and a reminder that none of us fight alone.

David Willis HomeFront Sitrep Podcast

My name is David Willis, I knew at a very early age that I was going into the military but didn’t know what branch. As I got older and started learning about each branch and quickly figured out that the Marines was the best. I served in the Marine Corps from 97-04. My MOS was 0311(infantry). I went to Paris Island for boot camp after boot camp I was stationed with 2nd blt 8th Marines Golf company. While with 2/8 I went on several deployments to port a prince Haiti, Okinawa, South Korea, Greece, also did two trips to Bridgeport California for cold weather training, I wasn’t going to make a Mediterranean float so I extended and joined 1st blt 8th Marines Bravo company. During my time there we deployed to the Mediterranean and had stops in Spain, Italy, Malta, Africa, and other ports. I got out of the Marines in August of 01, but 9/11 happened and was recalled to go back in where I was stationed with a mobilization support battalion and deployed.
