What Derl speaks about
Derl speaks from firsthand experience about being drafted into the Marine Corps at the height of the Vietnam War, his training, and the July 2, 1967 ambush of Bravo Company during Operation Buffalo — the day he and twenty-five fellow Marines survived being surrounded and outnumbered north of the DMZ. He also speaks about coming home afterward, and the role his faith played in getting through both.
Who he speaks for
