The Resilient Band and The Reborn Project
The Resilient is an American rock band primarily composed of severely wounded U.S. combat veterans, whose focus is writing and performing music that reflects the inspirations and hardships they've experienced in both their civilian lives and military careers. In October 2024 USA Warrior Stories met up with the band before their show at Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor, NY. We spoke with guitarist Nate Kalwicki (U.S. Army Veteran), vocalist Tim Donley (USMC Veteran), drummer Juan "Dom" Dominguez (USMC Veteran), guitarist Greg Loman and bassist Erik Kalwicki about forming The Resilient and The Reborn Project, a 501c3 non-profit dedicated to bringing their message to audiences around the USA.

    The term "Over and Above the Call of Duty" seems hopelessly inadequate to describe the sheer WILLPOWER that Mike Thornton and Tom Norris displayed over and over and over again. As free Americans, we owe these men a debt of gratitude than can never be repaid. I hold them in the utmost Respect for their Tenacity and stubborn Refusal to give up when the lion's share of us would have long before resigned ourselves to death in a hopeless situation.

    We as a country have NEVER done enough for our vets why. Because they're is no money on it just as trump said and as long as those who are free enjoy a happy life taking advantage of their choice to sacrifice themselves for the greater good, their deeds go unrecognized and are seen as a collateral expense. Well, it is about to get SO MUCH WORSE under the next 4 years. They deserve billions but receive way less then the putrid respect we give them. I thought we were a super power! Turns out, we are just a country of billionaires looking out for themselves.
