Show Notes
Sergeant First Class (Retired) Larry Teakell talks in depth about the incident in Iraq on July 18, 2007 that led to him being awarded the Soldier's Medal; the highest award for valor and heroism under non-combat conditions. Larry describes multiple deployments to Macedonia, Bosnia, and Iraq recalling in vivid detail his experiences. His actions are a direct definition of the Army Value, "Selfless Service". Every Soldier and American should know what he did that day. In retirement, Larry has started the Junkyard Tactical company making knives, swords, and other weapons out of scrap and discarded metal and steel. His latest fundraising effort went to support the mural for Silver Star recipient, SFC Alwyn Cashe and is actively engaged in the effort to have him awarded the Medal of Honor. Grab a glass.
