Who is David Burnell and what is Echo Valor all about?

David Burnell is a decorated U.S. Air Force veteran, rescue specialist, humanitarian, and storyteller whose life has been shaped by real missions, real sacrifice, and a deep calling to honor those who serve.

He’s not a marketer writing military lyrics—he’s lived the moments others only read about.

🎖️ A Life Built by Service

David served over a decade in the U.S. Air Force, working in combat communications, intelligence, and Special Operations support. After 9/11, he founded the Urban Warfare Center, where thousands of U.S. military, law enforcement, and federal agents trained in high-stress combat simulations.

He has also led or participated in high-risk search and rescue operations, bodyguard missions, and humanitarian deployments in war-torn and disaster-affected areas across the globe—from Haiti to Burma to Japan.

🎙️ What Is Echo Valor?

Echo Valor is a platform born from David’s mission:
To preserve, honor, and echo the stories of warriors, rescuers, and survivors—through music, spoken ballads, and creative storytelling.

What sets Echo Valor apart:

  • Spoken ballads that give voice to the voiceless
