New Film Pays Tribute to Marines Who Stopped Truck Bomb Attack in Ramadi
Six seconds. Not enough time to do much of anything, but Cpl. Jonathan Yale and Lance Cpl. Jordan Haerter made their last six seconds on Earth count in a way that has passed into Marine Corps legend.
Their astonishing heroism in stopping a truck bomb attack that threatened the lives of scores of Marines and Iraqis is now the subject of a short film that will have its first screening next month.
Joshua DeFour, the student director of the movie, said his main challenge was avoiding caricatures in portraying the two young riflemen.
"I felt this sense of responsibility" to depict the 21-year-old Yale and 19-year-old Haerter as the complicated human beings they were on the fateful morning of April 22, 2008, said DeFour, a former Marine sergeant and combat correspondent who served in Afghanistan.
His 23-minute film "The 11th Order" will get its first screening May 19 at the Hogg Memorial Auditorium at the University of Texas in Austin as part of his graduate thesis, but he said it wouldn't have happened without the approval of the mothers of the two Marines -- Rebecca Yale and JoAnn Lyles.
DeFour said he spoke with Rebecca Yale for two hours to get her permission to proceed with the project.
"The gist was that it was still a very painful thing to bring up," he said.
Yale and Haerter gave their own lives to stop an attack that likely would have killed the 50 Marines and 100 partnered Iraqis behind the gate they were guarding as sentries in the flashpoint town of Ramadi.
Lyles agreed to the project after speaking with DeFour and meeting the actor who would play her son.

The A-bomb was only in development at this time in 1942. The average service member did not know what fallout was. No clue

Perhaps off-topic, but Mrs. OldCode and I visited Mt Soledad Memorial yesterday. It's a memorial to those that served, both those that survived and those that fell. It offers sweeping views of San Diego. The Memorial has been subject to a multi-year lawsuit that wants it torn down (it was on government land, and so shouldn't have overtly religious symbols on it - separation of Church and State). Happily, the land was transferred to the Memorial organization and it can now stay.
