Episode 28 - Anthony Marquez (USMC, OEF Veteran) - a podcast by Tim K.

On this episode of the podcast, Tim K. sits down in Owasso, Oklahoma with
former Marine Corps Dog Handler, Anthony Marquez. Anthony served with 1st
Battalion 5th Marines and deployed with his IED (Improvised Explosive
Device) sniffing Labrador retriever, Allie, to Helmand Province
(Afghanistan) in 2011. The two formed a powerful connection through their
time in one of the most volatile spots on the planet… only to go their
separate ways after the deployment. But, that’s not the end of the story…

On the podcast, Tim and Anthony also discuss how they met, when Marquez was
delivering his fourth custom battlefield cross to the Farias Family (Gold
Star) after their son was killed in Afghanistan. Anthony has now delivered
battlefield crosses to families of the fallen across the entire nation,
finding a renewed sense of purpose in his time post-Marine Corps.
