Surviving the battlefield was only the beginning.

In Episode 5 of **The Wounded Heroes Podcast**, host Mike Talleda sits down with longtime friend and combat-wounded veteran Moises Escareño whose life was forever changed by a devastating attack during military service.

In this deeply personal conversation, Moises recounts the events surrounding his injuries, the fellow service members who were lost, and the long journey through hospitalization, surgeries, and rehabilitation. At one point, doctors considered amputating his limbs. Today, he reflects on what it took to survive and rebuild his life- But this episode is about much more than combat injuries.

Check this out, everyone! Use this if you can, and please pass it along. This was forwarded to us, and we’re passing it on to anyone who might find it helpful. One of the best things we’ve been able to do throughout the year is share information about those supporting our combat-wounded veterans or vets in general.

We get cars donated from time to time. We clean them up, change the oil, put on new tires, fix a few things, and find a new home with a vet who needs a car. This weekend we donated a car to Manny Rivas. Manny is blind, but his 17-year-old daughter has no car; now they both have a ride. The photo shows Wendy and me bringing Manny the registration for his new car. Well, not exactly new, but new to the family- Mike Talleda

What does a meaningful "welcome home" look like for a veteran? In this episode of the Wounded Heroes of America Podcast, Army veteran Felipe Adams joins host Mike Talleda to share his story of military service, recovery, and the lasting impact of community after returning home. Together, they discuss the challenges veterans face after military service, the importance of fellowship, and why healing extends far beyond medical care. Felipe reflects on the unforgettable welcome he received after deployment, while Mike shares how Wounded Heroes of America has spent 25 years building a community where veterans and their families know they are never alone. This conversation reminds us that sometimes the most meaningful support begins with a simple act of kindness—and grows into a lifetime of friendship.

After serving in the United States Marine Corps during the Iraq War, Manny Rivas returned home believing the hardest part of his journey was behind him. Then, one ordinary evening changed everything. In this episode of the Wounded Heroes of America Podcast, Manny shares his remarkable story of military service, surviving combat, losing his sight in a tragic shooting after returning home, and rebuilding a life filled with resilience, family, and purpose.

Host Mike Talleda reflects on more than 15 years of friendship with Manny and the importance of community, fellowship, and hope in overcoming life's greatest challenges. This conversation is a powerful reminder that healing is not just about recovery—it's about finding purpose and never facing life's journey alone.:

Hi People -09/12/2026
A nice article about our softball game and our foundation. A day of remembrance for the anniversary of the worst attack in our nation's history. We'll never forget that day, but life goes on. America is strong, and it's strong because of the men and women you see out on that field, enjoying life and camaraderie

We had our 8th annual Wounded Heroes of America vs. San Gabriel Valley Marines softball game and picnic, and we’re getting better, people! It wasn’t a blowout like in previous years; the final score was 7 to 8.

We gave it to 'em again, but it was touch-and-go. We saw a bunch of double plays, mainly thanks to our ladies, who were tough out in the field.

All in all, it was a great day. Awesome music was provided by our DJ, Angel, who also happens to be a vet. A huge thanks goes to Mr. and Mrs. Martinez for their fabulous burgers and hot dogs, and to everyone who contributed to making it such a wonderful time once again.

Special thanks to Victor Montiel, Rene Ramirez, and Mario Martinez for another great job, and a huge thank-you to our new friend and photographer, Cesar Barillas, for those beautiful photos.

See y'all next year!

Check out this out - our conversation with Daniel. The first of many to come. The goal here is to start a podcast to get to know our combat-wounded vets a little better and understand their lives and stories.
