Cornerstone of America

Today I am joined by my new co-host, David Body. 
David along with his wife and children, recently re-located to the Flathead Valley.  He is an enlisted member of the Army National Guard and was an arborist for 15 years. Like most of my new found friends here in Montana, we met through Jiu Jitsu at SBG.
David also volunteers his time with Operation Restored Warrior, a non profit veteran's support organization.  From the ORW website:

David Body, SPC, Army National Guard
Drop Zone Facilitator

David is a Drop Zone facilitator at Operation Restored Warrior and is currently serving as an Intelligence Analyst for the Montana Army National Guard with the 495th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion.

David’s desire to reach others so that they can experience the same freedom he has led him to serve with Operation Restored Warrior.

Jon Boone is a Black Belt in BJJ and one of my coaches at SBG Kalispell.  We are currently working security for the Cedar Creek Fire base camp in Winthrop, WA  
It's been humbling to see so many people from various agencies and organizations come together for weeks on end to battle these immense fires.  

This is our second tour here and we thought we would sit down and give a run down of what an immense operation it is to take on a forest fire the spans thousands of acres.  To learn more about this fire click the link below:
