East LA Marine - GET GUY THE MEDAL

February 19, 2008

http://www.getguythemedal.com Guy Gabaldon died on August 31, 2006 and the nation lost a real American hero. During the bloody struggle for Saipan in July 1944, U.S. Marine PFC Guy Gabaldon is officially credited with capturing over 1500 Japanese soldiers and civilians single-handedly, a record that is untouchable in the annals of American military history. This is a particularly extraordinary feat based on the fact that the Japanese considered surrender to be cowardly and dishonorable, and were ordered to kill 7 Americans for every 1 Japanese soldier captured. For over sixty years, Guy talked about his exploits on that island, sharing his experience and using his celebrity to inspire new generations who valued bravery and bravado. However, war experience alone does not make a life, and Guy's didn't stop in 1944. He lived many different lives and most importantly he took it upon himself to help the less fortunate, particularly the wayward teenagers he encountered when he returned to the Mariana Islands in 1980, where he would live for twenty years.
