HOPE IN ACTION POD: An Extended Conversation with Eric Calley of Warfighters United

On this month’s episode of the Hope in Action with Sheri Jones Companion Podcast, Sheri sits down with the main show’s guest, Eric Calley.

Eric Calley is a United States Marine veteran who enlisted in 2002 and served two tours in Iraq for Operation Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. He was discharged in 2006 and went on to dedicate his life fighting for veterans rights and helping them in their transition back to civilian life while getting them the help to so many need.

Sheri and Eric talk about how the terrorist attacks on September 11th inspired Eric to enlist in the Marines as well as his journey through his two tours. They then discuss the fighting he’s done back home in helping veterans get the help they need; from helping to create the Michigan’s Service Dog Laws, to working with the VFW, to starting his own podcast Warfighters United to share the stories of veterans.

Also special guest Valor joins the pair in studio!
