In this powerful live session, we sit down with DVNF CEO Joseph VanFonda, USMC SgtMaj (Ret), Marty Rossman, and Emanuel "Manny" Simmons, a Retired Master Sergeant (USMC) who dedicated 27 years of service to the Marine Corps. Manny shares his inspiring journey, surviving the tragic 1983 Beirut bombing, battling severe injuries, including a collapsed lung and temporary paralysis, and overcoming the psychological challenges that followed. His story highlights the resilience, mental toughness, and support needed for veterans transitioning to civilian life.

We dive into crucial topics such as military service, mental health, PTSD, and the importance of suicide prevention among veterans. This conversation sheds light on the challenges faced by veterans and first responders, offering hope and guidance for those navigating life after service. Whether you're a veteran, in the process of transitioning out of the military, or a supporter of our armed forces, this discussion is packed with insights to help ease the journey to civilian life.
