Join us as WE come together to see the issues and the needs of today’s HEROES, our veterans and first responders. WE will discuss the solutions and see the organizations that are boots on the ground as WE combat the silent, invisible and deadly enemies our HEROES are facing. WE are a grassroots, nonpartisan, nonprofit acting in the Mission to honor, empower and support those who have served. WE are the shock and awe in combating the silent, invisible and deadly enemies of our daily heroes, the First Responders and Veterans. Our goals come on many levels and forms as WE are raising awareness to those who do not know, WE are providing resources to those in need and WE provide the opportunities to those who are still interested in serving and/or have not had or taken the chance to serve before. WE are the beacon of hope for many to change their world through recalibration and rehabilitation. Our goals are to get our HEROES back into their families and communities. Happy Heroes create happy communities.
In this episode, we sit down with David Bowden, actor, songwriter, and emerging director/producer, to talk about his journey from military service to the entertainment industry. While serving in the Marines, David discovered a passion for storytelling and working behind the scenes—an interest that grew when he became a weapons instructor for actors in California. That experience opened the door to small acting roles and ultimately turned a long-held dream into reality.
For David, acting has become more than a career—it’s a creative outlet that helps fill the void many veterans feel after transitioning out of service. Through film and music, he’s found a way to process his past while building something meaningful for the future. As he continues auditioning and pursuing new opportunities—including a near miss with Tulsa King—David remains focused on carving out his place in the industry.
We also feature music from Mickey Lamantia, a former law enforcement and corrections officer who is making major waves in the music world. With nine albums under his belt and support from top industry professionals, his work reflects both patriotism and personal experience. Songs highlighted in this episode include “The Toast,” “Pledge of Allegiance,” and “Locked and Loaded.”
As always, we wrap with updates from The People’s Patriot Project, including upcoming events like the Ruck at Alexis Bailly Winery, continued support for Wreaths Across America, and the growth of WeP3 Radio.
