  • Combat Veteran Rolland Fayssoux left for Marine Corps boot camp at seventeen and later served in an anti-terrorism security force unit at Bangor, WA. From there he was assigned to 2nd Battalion 2nd Marines and was part of the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable) during the invasion of Iraq in 2003. In this episode of Urban Valor Rolland talks us through his experience touring the Middle East and what it was like returning home. He explaines his experience in the War in Iraq and the invasion of Iraq in detail speaking of the misery of war he faced. Rolland is honest, raw, and open during the conversation and he shows incredible courage as he shares his story.
    We appreciate you Rolland and thank you so much!

    Been addicted to your videos since the first one I watched. Now I’m backtracking and knocking them out oldest-to-newest. Keep doing you brother. This shits awesome and great for the community. You should be extremely proud of yourself just like the veteran community is proud of you.

    Who is the interviewer on this video? I heard Kevin, and the voice sounds like Kevin from another video I just watched. If it is the same Kevin... I'm very happy to see that you're doing this! Regardless, These videos help people possibly more than you can ever know.

      My partner at Urban Valor, Co-Founder and Marine Combat Veteran, Josh Gutierrez does the interviews.
      We didn't realize the impact we were making until we truly got to see it like everyone else.
      The conversations after these stories come out, the thank you messages, the appreciation, we've already seen potentially LIFE-SAVING results from these videos.
      It's unbelievable, and why we will keep sharing! It's messages like yours that push us to keep working our tails off and investing so much into Urban Valor! We're so thankful!

    It’s funny the Marines have an Easy company too. The Army actually has had a company in 101st by that name since WWII.

    Military people can be surprisingly very intellectual and academically bright despite what we commonly assume, saw a fascinating random IQ test the marine 130 and PHD student 110 wow, an Engineer 120 and Accountant was 110.
