Beirut bombing survivor from Dilworth finds healing through other veterans
The Marine veteran says retreats helped him confront survivor guilt and post-traumatic stress after the bombing that killed 241 of his fellow Marines.
- On Tuesday, John Dalziel spoke with WDAY News in Fargo about surviving the 1983 Beirut bombing and his journey toward healing and connecting with other veterans.
- About 100 yards away from the 1983 Beirut explosion, Dalziel survived an attack that killed 241 Marines, leaving him carrying survivor's guilt for more than 40 years.
- The Brady Oberg Legacy Foundation brought Dalziel together with other veterans through outdoor activities, helping him open up about his experiences, according to executive director Tracy Dunham.
- Inspired by Dalziel's story, Blue Cross Blue Shield's Caring Foundation doubled its investment in The Brady Oberg Legacy Foundation to $50,000.
- Funding for the Caring Foundation comes from its annual "Strike Out the Stigma" initiative, which Amber Blomberg, executive director of the Caring Foundation, says helps veterans overcome invisible wounds.
