ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Lori’s understanding of courage and strength came from her
grandfather who served in World War II and taught this young,
impressionable child how to be a true American Patriot. At his home, the
American flag was raised every morning and put away safely every evening
before the sun went down.
As a teen, Lori learned that Marines were a different breed. Having
many Peace Officer and Marine friends; the Witcher brothers were amongst
those. After many years, a friendship was renewed with Monte L. Witcher,
the author of a book previously published about the Battle of Observation
Post 4. Monte’s stories about this incident, his fellow Marines, and Desert
Storm became an unrelenting curiosity. Not only in the courage and bravery
of Delta Marines, Lori Y. Beck took a personal interest in meeting and
becoming personally involved with the true-life heroes that make up Delta
Company.
Curiosity turned to action... With much enthusiasm, Lori put her
entire life on hold, and for two years relentlessly investigated details,
photographs and the all Important historic audio recorded from the war
zone.
Lori’s patriotic heart created a newfound love and admiration for the
Marines and events that spurred her on to share with the world this epic
story of heroism and commitment to God, Corps, and Country. The task of
taking Monte’s original writings, photos and recordings would be reworked,
enhanced and implemented into two books, Cleared Hot – Revisited and
100 Hours to Destiny.
This grand effort from the author covers one Marine’s journey
through the Corps that later grew into involvement with the now legendary
proud component of the vaunted Wolfpack, Delta Company, 3D LAI. She
shares an underdog story of dark premonition that flips into one of the most
lopsided military victories in modern history.
With an extensive technical background, Lori Y Beck now brings this
very unique approach of utilizing QR Codes, the Internet and cloud storage
to share history as it once was…
