East L.A. Marine: The Guy Gabaldon Story

During the bloody struggle for Saipan in July 1944, U.S. Marine PFC Guy Gabaldon is credited with single-handedly capturing over 1,500 Japanese soldiers and civilians – a stark record in the annals of American military history. For over sixty years, Guy talked about his overseas exploits, sharing his experience and using his celebrity to inspire more generations of soldiers. But outside of his military career, Guy wasn't just a veteran – he took it upon himself to help the less fortunate, particularly the wayward teenagers he encountered when he returned to the Mariana Islands in 1980, where he would live for twenty years. Surprising, full of turns, and worth a lifetime of memories, this is EAST LA MARINE: THE GUY GABALDON STORY.
