BLAZE OF LIGHT
The Inspiring True Story of Green Beret Medic Gary Beikirch, Medal of Honor Recipient
From one of the fiercest skirmishes of the Vietnam War to years of seclusion in a mountain cave, Medal of Honor recipient, Gary Beikirch has faced more than his fair share of battles and overcome each of them through perseverance and faith. He inspires readers to do the same.
On April 1, 1970, Army Green Beret medic Gary Beikirch knew the odds were stacked against his survival. Some 10,000 enemy soldiers sought to obliterate the twelve American Special Forces troops and five hundred South Vietnamese fighters who stood fast to defend the women and children of the militarily strategic region of the Central Highlands. The bloody battle lasted for three weeks. For his valor and selflessness during the seige, Gary was later awarded the Medal of Honor.
Gary returned home wounded in body, mind, and soul, struggling with drug addiction. To overcome his addiction and find himself again, Gary retreated to a cave in the mountains of New England, where a redemptive encounter with God allowed Gary to find peace.
