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, directed, and edited 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.)

Thank you for this. It's a really good recreation of that awful day. I was on the other side of the city when this happened. Just stepped out of my hooch that morning and lit up a cigarette when I heard and felt the explosion. I will never forget that exact second. It was so loud I thought it was my buddy Erik's station a mile away instead of the 3 miles away it really was. I have always felt bad that I was relieved that it wasn't his station. I remember meeting Haerter briefly. I was a Sgt and a squadleader and I remember how respectful he was to me and had never even met me before that. Could tell he was a good kid. Turned out to be the best kind of man he could possibly be. I had the great honor to be in the honor guard at Quantico for his and Yale's Navy Cross ceremony (I think I am in the pic you have of that in the credits). We never know what the future holds and how much of a difference we can make. These two forever young men had no problem stepping up and making the ultimate difference for so many people and they will be remembered forever for it.

@The11thOrder 3 года назад

Great eye! You’re exactly right. This was actually one of the first scenes we shot for the film. Jordan’s mother was supposed to fly out to join us behind camera but there was a last minute change and she couldn’t make it, so she ordered a bouquet of flowers to the set to wish us good luck-they were never scripted for the scene but I doubt the image would be nearly as powerful without those flowers.

I always found it amazing that normal people in regular "safe" life take everything so personally, hold ill-will toward someone after choosing to be angry or simply when cut off in traffic. Yet many of my Marines and I could respect our opponents even when trying to kill each other. I say opponents as with few exceptions, folks on the other side were not necessarily enemies, they just happen to be born in a different country, else they might be by my side in that very same fight. An exception being terrorists like ISIS and Al-Qaeda, there is no love lost when they go down. But professionals are professionals. Even track runner, wrestlers, boxers and MMA are able to shake hands 'off the battlefield' (so to speak). Again, there are exceptions, but generally, I hold no ill-will to the person on the other end of the rifle, it was simply survival. Imagine how much we could accomplish if we got passed unimportant emotional reactions and took stock in the intangible value of each person. It would be an amazing world. Until then, Semper Fi Ladies and Gents.

I remember this day quite vividly, as it started off as a normal day. I was deployed to Ramadi as part of a joint task force that ended up being the keepers of Camp Ramadi. I was one of the few Marines in this unit as well. Anyway, I remember being at the MWR tent getting ready to set up for an event we were supposed to have that day when the explosion happened. The blast was so powerful, it felt as if my chest caved in. I looked up and saw nothing but white smoke. I had no access to the checkpoint so I went to our COC to see what happened. We got the full details later that afternoon and it was crazy. The crater from the explosion was massive. The explosion was early in the morning, and just completely altered the course of the rest of the day. I ended up attending Cpl Yale’s memorial a few days later and the emotion in his 1stSgt’s voice during the roll call was so powerful. What they did was tremendous, and is something I’ve never forgotten about. Thank you for honoring their efforts.

Amy, we have met many times before, I’m now retired from the Marine Corps. From Kosovo in 1999 To Iraq from the invasion in 2003....2004...2005...2006...2007...2008....then to the Mountain Warfare Training Center...then to Afghanistan 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014....I was there when Camp Bastion went under attack, I was in front of the ADACG when it happened. I first met you in Guam...again in Iraq....now we meet here. Gen. Kelly was the CG of MNF-W, Al-Anbar. I went around to many of the bases there, not sure if you remember the 42 mortars that hit the base...I was there....this film...I was there as well....from Al-Asad, TQ and other bases, I was there.

When I pulled Guard Duty, as much as I hated it, I knew its importance, that others relied on me to keep them safe, and I took that duty very seriously. I hope and pray that had i found myself in their place, that I to would have responded, and given my last full measure of devotion to God, my fellow soldiers, my loved ones, and my country.

For those of you clicking the thumbs down button could you even consider taking six seconds to think of anyone other than yourself?

@theofarmmanager267 3 года назад

It’s very sad that some of the comments vary into the politics of the conflict and the country. It seems to me that this short film is about celebrating the sacrifice that two young men made and that they made their decision based upon the training and ethos of the Marine Corps. The question about whether the sacrifices of these men and all others, including many civilians, were justified or “worth it” is contentious. The question about the direction of military policy is also contentious. What should not be contentious and must be the lasting message of this film is that there are still men and women who put serving their country above their own lives. From an Englishman with a 130 year family history of service in the Royal Marines. Still going today with a son in 43 Commando.

@The11thOrder 3 года назад

This. So much this. Thank you for pointing this out, it’s difficult for some to understand that service members don’t deploy to win wars, and they don’t deploy to satisfy political agendas. They volunteer to serve for reasons across the spectrum, but the overarching theme is they are taking the place of someone in your community, to serve your community. What they are asked to do is out of their hands, that’s the very nature of enlisting and commissioning into a service. As I wrote into the script, “there’s no glory in this, just good friends dying far from home.” You’re never out there thinking about winning anything, you’re trying to keep your buddies alive and perform the job you were trained for. That’s it. Haerter and Yale were 19 and 20 years old respectively. Someone had to stand at that gate that day regardless of the circumstances of what put the gate there...and these two young men traded their lives for the safety of the 150 people behind them-50 U.S. Marines, 100 Iraqi Police-who would have been hit with 2,000 pounds of explosives. Context be damned, they’re heroes. Thank you for supporting the film, and we appreciate your family’s service and sacrifice ✌🏽 - Joshua

@@justinlee835 To be fair I was a graduate student and I’d shot and edited in the Corps for about four years, I didn’t have directing experience when I came in but the University of Texas requires four films before you graduate...which is a blessing, because you know the opportunities are guaranteed and you’re able to take risks without worrying you wouldn’t be able to make another project. I was dependent on the generosity and passion of the military community in making this film, it required immense sums of money I neither had nor could have amassed without outside help. But at the end of the day we were operating off of instincts and a history of working together...I think it is extremely important to build a team around you at the start, build that trust and then grow together as filmmakers. I have a tight knit production team that covers my weaknesses and bolsters my strengths, without them the film wouldn’t have gotten made. And really, it took their 110% effort beyond their crew titles even to make sure we reached the finish line. So my best advice to you is find those collaborators who question your decisions but have faith in your vision, contrarians in the room produce the best results and that trust you build creates better art.

I remember this like it was yesterday. I was just a short distance away from Ramadi in Fallujah. The news of these Marines bravery spread very fast and although sad I was very proud of these men.

The acting is incredible, all the dialog feels super natural

We appreciate the kind words! Our actors did everything they could to immerse themselves in Marine culture on set, and having served myself I wanted to bring in familiar Marine-ism's and memories of conversations I'd had to really sell the authenticity. Thank you for taking the time to watch the film!

My company landed the night before into Ramadi. I woke up the next morning and witnessed this from about 500 yards away. This day had a huge impact on my mindset for the rest of my deployment. Shortly after this, it was a huge task force to end the IED threat in that area, including Fallujah. I was proud to be part of that group and work alongside 1st and 2nd MEF.

I remember reading the report on this . Those exceptional human beings held their positions and never stop firing all the way up until the explosion. These young Devil Dogs sacrificed themselves for their Brothers that were on their sleep rotation. I believe I was a Sgt at the time of the incident and reading about their courageous act inspired me so much to be a better leader and more selfless. Semper Fi and God Speed to all that have worn the cloth and to those that continue to do so.

I was with 1/9 until Dec ‘06, when our entire section was pulled to deploy with RCT-6 to Fallujah. We got home in January ‘08 and subsequently transferred back to 1/9 in March, as they were deploying. So, we were quickly transferred throughout the Division. I remember hearing about this shortly after it happened. Fast forward a year, and I was now the SNCOIC of a unit in Johnstown, PA. My Marines and I drove down to Quantico to attend the presentation of the Navy Cross to both families by the Secretary of the Navy. It was something I will never forget, nor will they. Semper Fi!

@The11thOrder 3 года назад

That is such a powerful memory to share, I appreciate you posting it for the community. Are you part of the 1/9 Association? If not you really should join, they're going to have a reunion in October in San Antonio and it's a special way to meet other 1/9 Marines from OIF, OEF, Desert Storm, and Vietnam, share stories over pints, and have an all around great time. The film will play there as well and we will be commemorating Jordan Haerter with his mother in attendance. I'm sure she would love to meet you. Semper Fi brother, and thank you so much for watching the film - Joshua

@@The11thOrder oddly enough, in 2006, the 1/9 Association had a reunion in Branson, MO. Being that the unit was reactivating, the Association contacted the Bn Co and asked him to come and be the guest speaker. He was otherwise engaged, so he asked the SgtMaj to find someone to attend on the commands behalf, and serve as the guest speaker. He asked me to do it, and I happily obliged. It was one of the greatest honors of my career.

Six Seconds in Ramadi: The Stand of L/Cpl Jordan Haerter & Cpl Jonathan Yale | April 2008 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. Semper Fi ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CcYjAJRQ26Q.html

Excellent remembrance video of two fallen heroes. I was in the military. Not the Marines, but I did serve my country. Very touching vid. Thank you.

@The11thOrder 2 года назад

Thank you for taking the time to watch the film, our hope was that a commitment to authenticity when recreating military culture would connect with veterans from every generation and branch of service. I think this story reflects the courage every active serving and veteran wants to embody. We appreciate your service, stay safe! - Joshua
