Ep. 245 - David Bellavia (Infantryman/Medal of Honor Recipient)

Published: Nov. 2, 2021, 5 a.m.

b'Partly inspired by his grandfather\\u2019s stories of combat and survival from WWII, David Bellavia decided to enlist as an Army Infantryman. It was pre-9/11, and the world was relatively quiet. Fast forward to the early days of OIF, and Bellavia is now in the thick of it, experiencing combat like his grandfather had. One of those battles - taking place in Fallujah on November 10, 2004 - would ultimately lead to Bellavia receiving the Medal of Honor, for his actions wiping out an enemy squad element. It\\u2019s an incredible story, and one Bellavia tells with humility and reverence.
