I created this platform to support both of my books THE MIRROR 2nd edition and The Broken Mirror. This is a Mental Health platform on Facebook as well as Instagram and YouTube. I have a Streaming platform for a podcast called 1821 productions, a mental health, journey and awareness.
I am known as the voice of the voiceless there are a lot of veterans that won’t speak up. There are a lot of people out there who go through traumatic problems that won’t disclose because they’re afraid that they could get terminated or even not promoted in a job. I believe everyone has some type of Trauma, and I Share my story and my poetry with individuals who are going through it if I can inspire someone to live another day or change their direction I’m not committing suicide or at least getting my message out at least to one person with my books. I have accomplished my mission.
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.
