HomeFront Sitrep with Freedom Alliance

  1. HomeFront Sitrep with Freedom Alliance HomeFront Sitrep 2:22:56

When America’s military was sent to liberate Kuwait in 1990, Freedom Alliance determined that our troops would receive the respect and support their Vietnam-era predecessors were denied a generation before. The organization, which had just been founded, assembled and shipped 125,000 care packages to our troops in the field. Each box was filled with items to help servicemembers fight the desert heat, stay healthy, and convey the public’s overwhelming support. It was one of several projects we initiated to care for our war fighters.

After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, America’s military was sent to fight again. In the long war on terrorism, Freedom Alliance has lead the home front efforts to honor the fallen, support fighters in the field, help wounded troops rehabilitate, and assist families struggling with the wounds of war. We support our troops with direct assistance, and advocate for policies that protect our troops and allow them to be successful in their mission.

We also recognize that the defense of our nation and the attainment of “a more perfect Union,” is the responsibility of every American, not just those who serve in uniform. As such, Freedom Alliance supports a free and sovereign nation in which “We the People” determine our own destiny. We defend America’s history and her heroes. We encourage service to our country and her communities. And we believe that the United States is the greatest force for good the world has ever known.

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.
