In 2003, a Band of Devil Soldiers came together in Ramadi, Iraq, during the intense first phase of the Battle for Ramadi. Among them were SSG Jonathon L. Martin, MSG (Ret.) Bernie Summa, Natem Stonic, and our host, Rich LaMonica. Together, they forged a bond of brotherhood that time and distance could never erase. This Memorial Week episode of The MisFitNation Show is more than a tribute—it's a reunion. We honor the life, laughter, and leadership of SSG Jonathon L. Martin, a jokester with a huge personality, a go-to leader, and a friend to all who served beside him. Tragically, Jon was wounded on November 9th, 2007, during a deployment with the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) and passed away on November 22nd, 2007. Join us as MSG (Ret.) Bernie Summa, Natem Stonic, and Rich reflect on their shared deployment, the impact SSG Martin had on every life he touched, and the enduring power of brotherhood. David Cloud will also be a part of the show with an awesome video.

But his mission didn't end in uniform. Following the devastating loss of his wife, SSG Jari J. Hudgins, a fellow soldier and proud Caddo Native American, Aaron transformed grief into action. Now a Survivor Advocate at the Pentagon's SAWG, recipient of the Superior Public Service Medal, and a Travis Manion Foundation mentor, he continues to lead with purpose and heart.

Scottie is a West Point graduate and medically retired US Army officer who has spent the last 15 years on a personal healing journey. Now, he's dedicated his life to helping other veterans, especially men, heal and reconnect. Veteran men often lose their sense of community after leaving the military.

Scottie and his team will walk with you, support you, and bravely explore the battlefield of healing together. But you must be willing to grow and confront the challenges head-on.
