Join us on this inspiring episode of The Devil Doc Talk Show as we welcome Jimmie T. Smith, a true champion for veterans’ rights and a dedicated leader in policy reform. With a distinguished military career spanning over two decades, Jimmie enlisted in the United States Army at just 17, serving with honor in the 101st Airborne (Air Assault) Division and the 82nd Airborne Division. His combat deployment during the Gulf War in 1991 showcased his leadership and resilience, shaping his lifelong commitment to service.
Transitioning to civilian life, Jimmie continued his mission by entering politics, serving three terms in the Florida House of Representatives starting in 2010. As chair of the Veterans and Military Affairs Sub-Committee, he championed key initiatives to support veterans, leaving a lasting impact on their lives. In 2020, he joined Concerned Veterans for America (CVA) as Coalitions Director, where he now drives transformative policy reforms within the Veterans Affairs system, focusing on enhanced healthcare access and greater choice for veterans.
On this episode, Jimmie shares his remarkable journey—from the battlefields to the halls of government and now to the forefront of veteran advocacy. Tune in as he discusses his military experiences, political achievements, and his vision for empowering veterans across the nation. Don’t miss this powerful conversation, airing live, as we explore how Jimmie T. Smith continues to fight for those who served.
