Six Seconds in Ramadi: The Stand of L/Cpl Jordan Haerter & Cpl Jonathan Yale | April 2008

The award-winning short film “The 11th Order” is based on the true story of LCpl. Jordan Haerter and Cpl. Jonathan Yale, two United States Marines who stood their ground to stop a suicide truck bomb—saving the lives of the 150 Marines and Iraqi Police behind them. Written and directed by Marine veteran Joshua DeFour, the film was made in collaboration with the families of the fallen Marines and funded largely by the veteran and active duty military communities. (TV-MA for strong language and mild violence.)

Earlier Video from liberty forevermore:

In March 2008, the 1/9th Marines, USMC, deployed to Ramadi, Iraq. A month later, a detachment of 50 Marines were moved to Joint Security Station Nasser where they were to take over from a contingent of Marines from the 2/8th Marines, who were scheduled to return home to America in a few weeks time. Security for Joint Security Station Nasser was provided by two checkpoints and, on the 22 April 2008, Lance Corporal Jordan Haerter, of the 1/9th Marines, and Corporal Jonathan Yale, of the 2/8th Marines, were together holding post at one of the checkpoints. For two hours, the two Marines carried out their duty when a VBIED began to drive at full speed towards the checkpoint gate. In six seconds, L/Cpl Haerter & Cpl Yale made a heroic decision that saved the lives of over 150 American & Iraqi personnel. This video is dedicated to the memory of Lance Corporal Jordan Haerter & Corporal Jonathan Yale.
