I'm not from the US and have not served but would like to say this. Stay strong, and God Bless EACH and EVERY U.S VETERAN. You ALL deserve more that you are getting... You sacrifice a lot and your individual sacrifices impact not only your Country but the world... SALUTE
I served with a guy from Mission District Oakland and was a gang member who got shot 3 times. He was cool overseas, but when we ran into each other in Camp Pendleton, he didn't want to be seen with non-hispanic people, so I never talked to him again. I guess he still held on to gang mentality.
Good job on your innovations with your editing style with the thumbnail and transitions and whatnot, this is a very strong interview and I hope it helps your channel reach more people
Saludos carnal, you're a real one. Your story resonates so much with our raza, our youth and what we represent. You grew up wanting to "be somebody" to "earn your stripes". Well you did that and some. Your a fuckin hero, a patriot and I thank you for your service 🤙🏼🇺🇸
Thank you for your service and sacrifice. 👊
I knew Tawney from SOI in 2005. We were sent to different units after and I never heard from him again. I wasn't aware that he was killed. It's crazy how small the marine corps really is. I was with 2/7 in 2008. I was in nowzad though, not sangin. The company we had in sangin saw some serious fighting as well. S/F!
Wow, you don't need a motivational speaker after this. This man is a life warrior, I would break.
This is one of the best interviews I've seen. Josue is honest and real... no fluff. Thank you so much for your service, Corporal Barron... Semper Fi!!!
Favorite channel! Too many of these channels are focusing on “special ops” and don’t realize the ground pounders were the conventional guys!! I love these ❤ keep doing what you’re doing
That shit was badass. What a dope interview. It's inspiring to see the mindset he has even through all his obstacles. That's a warrior right there!!💯💯💯
When I was in the Army 82nd Airborne Division I had a buddy he was from LA and a gang member, he told me that a lot of his homies had been killed and he said the reason why he joined the Army was to get out of that lifestyle before it was him that was going to prison or the graveyard.
Thank you for
Josue is such a stand up dude and we are honored to be friends with him. Semper Fi!
Big respect from the Inland Empire...
I am a Vet, hearing your story all I could think of were these simple words - I am very proud of you!
Wow! You are a true child of God. I hope you reach out to your brothers and sisters that have had similar experiences.
Great story . Glad you’re doing well and all of your accomplishments. I’m from Los Angeles . When I got out of the Corps LA was a hell hole with all the gang violence . I lost more friends in LA than my time in the suck. Semper Fi !
As he was talking I felt like we lived almost the same life, both streets and military. This was crazy because I lived through the same things, hazing in the military about race, and things of that sort.
Dude. You’re a fucking beast, you rock!! Semper Fi brother!!
