"For fans of Unbroken and Hacksaw Ridge comes the powerful true story of a Medal of Honor recipient who faced more than his fair share of battles—and overcame them through perseverance and faith. “ 'What Gary Beikirch did to receive his medal is unforgettable—and the story of what he overcame afterward is as big and moving as they come'.”—Gary Sinise In the preface of the book Blaze of Light, Gary dedicates the story to anyone who has ever "fought through a battle or sheltered in a cave." In this interview, Gary and Marcus discuss the circumstances surrounding the battle of Dak Seang in April of 1970. Because of Gary's actions, he was later awarded the Medal of Honor. He would learn much about life by coming face to face with death, but more in coming face to face with himself.
