identity breakdown
purpose
The purpose of the Will Castillo bobsled team is to represent the USA with honor and integrity, while inspiring others with my story. Through hard work and determination we can overcome life-changing battles.
Honor
I had the honor to serve with two of the bravest men to wear the uniform; David Kirkpatrick and Eddie Tamez. Both were killed in a combat mission in 2007 and they will never be forgotten.
Pride
It did not take long for me to become patriotic after immigrating here at an early age. I enlisted in the United States military to serve and protect the USA after the attacks of 9/11.
Change
The Purple Heart is an award given to those injured in combat. It also represents the moment in my life that changed me both mentally and physically. I had to adapt and adjust to the new me.
prayer
Being the only survivor in a combat mission really tested my faith, strength and courage. Many times I failed and it wasn’t until I healed my relationship with God that everything started to make sense again.

“My advice to anybody who’s struggling inside is, don’t give up on yourself. Hope is a very powerful thing. Do your best to live your life outside your comfort zone. that’s when you start to meet people and experience things that could possibly change the way your life is going. just don’t give up hope.”
