Sgt. Gary Beikirch, Medal of Honor Recipient (Full Interview) 

I played in a band with Gary’s son about 19 years ago. We used to sit around the kitchen table, drink coffee, and talk with Gary. He never spoke about his accomplishments in the military. I didn’t find out he was a living recipient of the Medal of Honor, until I joined the Army in 2004. He is a great man. I’m proud to have known him.

what a true patriot a true gentleman who discovered the meaning of life thank you for your service to my fellow vet

My grandfather was a green beret in vietnam his name was Richard Cunliffe. If anyone knows anything about this man or his service or any stories please comment on this video I didnt know him at all and it is incredibly hard to find any info in him he was part of the 101st airborne 5th special forces at bu prang and da nang he got a silver star and purple heart that's literally all I know.. these guys are some of the best soldiers this country has ever produced god bless this fella

A humble human being . Honour & Respect . Lest we forget .

A young man sacrificed himself so that Gary would make it back home to his family and friends...he worked at my middle school and possibly the high school, he was a nice gentle guy that literally everyone at the school loved.

One of the true people that changed my life. He was such an inspiration to me in High School. I loved to listen to him talk. A very proud and yet humble man. You were truly loved by many people. My sincerest condolences to the family of this wonderful man.

When my daughter was assigned her internship while pursuing her counseling degree, she casually mentioned one day how much she admired her mentor, how down to earth he was and how the kids gravitated to him. That mentor was Gary Beikirch. I asked her if she knew his background, and she did not. Myself, being an Army medic veteran, was well aware of his MOH. She was stunned. This conversation occurred near the end of her internship, and she had zero clue of his actions. I truly believe he was a major factor in her outlook and success, and I thank him for it. RIP, Gary, you will never be forgotten.

Thank you for everything youve done for us ! As a vietnamese-american, you soldiers fought for our freedom

God Bless you Brother Beikirch, you're an inspiration to us all, 5th SFG Retired.

I had a friendship with a fellow from Springfield Mass who ended up in Pacific Grove California Medic 5th Group B55. Similar story. Service work is freedom. Praise God. Thanks Gary.

What a brave and outstanding man! Sir, thank you for your bravery and service to our Nation! Welcome Home!!

The Son of man was born in a cave and he suffered so that we might live. Thank you Gary for your suffering we love you.

awesome story God bless you sir.

Welcome home Sergeant, thank you 🙏

Gary has written a book that goes into more detail of what he shared in this interview. I highly recommend it.

May God bless you sir!!! Thank you for service!!!

Thank you for telling your story your a true hero and that comes from a army veteran from the early 70s

My Perez family knew Gary and family from South Wedge. Monroe High Good people!

You are a humble man, Sargent, our family, with the utmost respect and gratitude 🙏, thank you for your service and the sacrifices you made for the free peoples of the RVN and the Republic of South Vietnam. Sadly, it is upon our shores now. I had several members of our family that served in frontline combat units in Vietnam; the various wars and skirmishes they served in profoundly affected their lives and relationships. I pray Br_____ and his cohorts get squared with God before the Time of Tribulation comes. God Bless!

Gary Beikirch, thank you

Thank you sir

Thank you for making this video. Your words are a blessing for other Vietnam Vets like myself.

Thank you Gary for your sacrifice to serve our country.

God bless you sir!

Gary talked about his love for the people among whom he served. That is a proper use of love. It was beautiful to hear. People misuse the word love now when lust is a more accurate word. Sex isn't love. Wanting sex isn't love. Wanting healthy body parts cut off isn't love.

Thank You for your service SIR

This is awesome. I❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤it such a great man .Thank. You

Excellent story, about an excellent man who came through, well done.

awesome sir.

God bless you man welcome home brother Geronimo

Dear God why did I watch this 68 mins of hell.... I really think I need to harden up. I really appreciated his story.

Thanks Gary.

Always thumbs up Sir from belleville ontario

I love to hear the stories of these great American patriots , but unfortunately much of their stories, and especially the questions and comments by the interviewers, are nearly inaudible on my "smartphone". Would be nice if they ever checked their mics or recording levels . Maybe it is just my phone.Anyway, thanks to these great patriots.

I have to agree with others the volume on these are always so low

Really hit me in the feelers

What a story this man is a true patriot, hearing his philosophy and his thinking, I can definitely see where it’s coming from, and it opened up my mind to think more about a lot of things in my life as well. 59:56

Good man

GARY !!! Hope your doing well brother

How come no-one says the sound is too low to hear properly? Is it my computer? Other videos are fine.

I really like the last answer. Significance vs success. 1:07

The word stud should be in the title damn son

A lot of things he said was also repeated over and over. One was training over and over until it becomes automatic muscle reaction before brain. Also he said he was fighting not for hate of his enemies but for love of the people he was fighting next to even those villagers. The last thing they all say is they are only the representative of the medal the real heroes were the men fighting next to him and the ones that paid with their life. Also for all of the men and women that fought in all of the wars, that died or are still living. Those college students that harassed him could have learned a lot from him. Not only did he help those people in many ways but he loved them too.

A beautiful tale .

Cant hear it

Volume is on Max and still cannot hear his story higher and engineer.

39:58......

The Audio is very weak on his part bad microphone location

The center did move/ And I wandered t to find it/ You can show me a way/ Maybe I can reinvent me?

The sound is really bad

Volume level is horrible

Can hardly hear him turn up the volume

When he talked about people calling him a baby killer I had a thought. How many of those people were for the legalization of killing babies here at home by aborting them from the womb? How many of those people sex without babies and responsability to killing their own children? We know there are people now who claim to care about children and are fanatics of abortion. There could have been people like that before I was born.

I understand it is with all sincerity the use of live animals as training vehicles, in an effort to provide the most lifelike experience in training. Even as such, I will never understand the absolute cruelty humans insist inflicting on innocent creatures. In particular, creatures who would literally die for a human because they don't know better. It is sad and I am glad (if true) that the need for "vivisection" and live training models have been done away with. I just can't imagine anything more cruel than to willfully injure, experiment on, then kill a living creature.

Closure closure closure

And now his watch is over

Men never run after a Woman. Gary made a big mistake by going to College just because he wanted to be with a Woman. Take the red pill. Nevertheless respect to Gary.

Always respect, my brother. You're in heaven now, but you live to teach and inspire in one of my often delivered church messages dealing with Romans 12:1, a living sacrifice
