Tony Liles answered the call to serve out of a strong sense of duty and a desire to be part of something bigger than himself. I admire how he continues to lead with purpose, using his experiences to guide and inspire others. He often reflects on the bonds of teamwork and the shared mission he had while in uniform. My pride in Tony comes from watching him pour that same energy into veterans today. Through coaching, mentorship, and his involvement with the Mission43 Fellowship, he gives back daily, helping others succeed and strengthening the veteran community around him.
