HONOR RADIO – Marcus Chischilly & Freddy Torres  |  USMC 3rd Battalion 5th Marines | Friends of The Honor Bowl

It brings us great pride to welcome these two great Marines and dear friends to Honor Radio. Welcome US Marines, Gunnery Sgt. Freddy Torres (active) and Sgt. Marcus Chischilly (ret.). Both served under the 3rd Battalion/5th Marines, and both received Purple Hearts from wounds they suffered while in combat. Freddy suffering a gunshot wound to his right leg that hit his femoral artery which caused him to almost bleed out on the battlefield. He underwent multiple surgeries with doctors telling him he would never walk again. He would prove them wrong.

We also introduce Sgt Marcus Chischilly who is from Navajo Indian ancestry. As a rifleman Marcus was wounded by an IED blast two weeks into his deployment. The blast would take his right leg and left him with severe injuries to his left leg and arm.  Both Marines would struggle with recovery but would find healing in a life of ongoing service, family, and faith.

We invited these two inspirational warriors on the podcast because their stories are more than compelling and inspirational. Also, for the past ten years these two Marines have inspired thousands of athletes, coaches, and community by being our keynote speakers during The Honor Bowl Football Showcases pregame locker room Moto Talks. Over the years that we have been performing the Honor Bowl and these two have been visiting our locker rooms we have had hundreds of coaches and athletes tell us that the stories of sacrifice, brotherhood, and commitment that they hear from these two individuals is easily the most powerful speeches they have ever heard in any locker room setting before.

We are honored to have Freddy and Marcus on our show today. Please join us as we listen to their inspiring stories of resilience, recovery, and the future.
