Blackfive’s Someone You Should Know: David Bellavia
Matt from the #1 milblog Blackfive joined us for our weekly collaboration to bring the inspirational, true stories of the men and women that are fighting for us around the world to the radio.
This week we recall the heroics of Staff Sergent David Bellavia, whom Matt described as “badder than John Freaking Wayne”. David has been nominated for the Medal of Honor and has recently returned to Iraq as a founding member of VetsforFreedom.org. This is one amazing story.
Someone You Should Know is also available for download at iTunes. Simply search for Pundit Review Radio Podcast.
