À propos de cet audio
Beyond the Call: Platoon Sergeant Joseph R. Julian at Iwo Jima, 1945 follows a Marine platoon sergeant in World War II’s Pacific campaign as he leads solo assaults against entrenched positions on the island’s black volcanic slopes. The story traces his journey from Massachusetts hometown to drill instructor to frontline leader with the 5th Marine Division, then walks listeners through the desperate fight to break a Japanese strongpoint that had pinned down his company. Along the way it explains the meaning behind his Medal of Honor citation, the tactical importance of his actions, and the leadership and character traits his example still illustrates today. Beyond the Call is the Monday feature of Dispatch: U.S. Military History Magazine, and this podcast episode is developed by Trackpads.com.
