Frank Simmons, who had already deployed to Iraq three times before 2008, would go on to serve four more nine-month deployments and six special missions in Afghanistan.
Then-Cpl. Frank Simmons took cover with only a small berm of dirt for protection as a barrage of enemy fire sprayed around him near a village in southern Afghanistan.
Gunnery Sgt. Frank Simmons, a Silver Star recipient, killed more than 20 Taliban soldiers as a Recon Marine during an eight-hour firefight 15 years ago. He is now looking to retire and ease back into civilian life. He is pictured at the Marine Monument in San Clemente on Monday, November 7, 2022. Simmons, who had already deployed to Iraq three times before 2008, would go on to serve four more nine-month deployments and six special missions in Afghanistan.
To prepare for the civilian world, Simmons said he is relying on his network of veteran brothers who have been “the point man going through the brush.” Some have already found success in veteran-friendly Southern California companies that manufacture products appealing to the Department of Defense, while others work at the Department of Energy, another area Simmons has his eye on.
“What companies need is team building, serving their customers, improving operations, and in the end, making a profit,” Rohmann said. “When he tells his story, he has to incorporate that with those four things.” The Honor Foundation also takes veterans to networking opportunities in the San Francisco area, he added.“He brings everything,” Rohmann said. “How many in corporate America are willing to put their life on the line or are even willing to put in a full eight hours?”
