FOUNDED BY VETERANS FOR ALL AMERICANS+

DIA was founded by US Marine Corps enlisted veterans to promote the greatness inherent in all people regardless of religion, culture, or race. We believe individual greatness can be found through our inalienable right to freedom, to pursue happiness, and to express ourselves authentically.

YEAR 4 UPDATE

Over three years ago, we began this journey with the simple goal of creating workout gear. Physical fitness was a path to greatness we often pursued, a challenge that shaped who we are. But as we moved forward, we quickly realized that our message as veterans and to the veteran community carried just as much weight as the products we designed.

That realization led us to shift our focus. We began to honor those who embodied the relentless pursuit of greatness and upheld the core American values of freedom. From the heroic stories of the FDNY 3 Truck Crew and Air Force Combat Controller John Chapman to the legendary Marine Corps icon Chesty Puller, we proudly shared the legacies of those who inspired us.

As our message grew, so did its resonance. When the government doubled down on suppressing freedoms and promoting a monoculture, the urgency of our mission became undeniable. The catastrophic decisions that culminated in the Kabul Airport Terror Attack, claiming the lives of 13 service members during a failed evacuation, reinforced our belief that self-reliance is not just a virtue—it's a necessity.

We knew we had to keep pushing our message: You can't rely on anyone but yourself. By seeking personal greatness and building self-reliance, the decisions of others hold less power over your future. You become the master of your own destiny, no matter who is calling the shots.

Now, as we enter our fourth year, we recognize that we're still not where we want to be as a company. But we’re making meaningful strides. Seeing DIA grow into a national brand is a milestone we don’t take lightly. And it’s because of you.

Thank you for supporting us. Thank you for believing in our message. Thank you for honoring American heroes. Most importantly, thank you for making our country great by choosing to pursue your own personal greatness. Here's to the road ahead.

Meet the Founder

The founder, David Gonzalez, was a USMC 0311 Infantryman (Rifleman) stationed with 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment (2/3) in Hawaii. He signed the dotted-line because he believed in the tenets of our founding fathers and wanted to defend those ideals; he still does. David founded DIA to encourage everyone to seek personal greatness instead of depending on self-interested corporations and governments who thrive on our obedience to a system that subverts our personal liberties. It's time to seek greatness for ourselves in spite of the forces actively working against us.

The mind behind the designs

Caleb Sparks was a USMC 0331 Machinegunner and 0313 LAV Crewman with 3rd LAR out of 29 Palms, CA. Caleb teamed up with David through the Marine Corps Brotherhood connections on other projects and when David pitched the idea to help encourage greatness among Americans+, he jumped on it and has never looked back. He primarily handles the graphic design and digital marketing efforts of the company.
