On June 19, 1985, gunmen disguised as Salvadoran soldiers opened fire in a crowded restaurant district of San Salvador targeting U.S. Marines. In minutes, twelve people were dead, including four Marine Security Guards—the deadliest attack in MSG history.

In this episode, we hear from Anton Koszuth, a Marine Security Guard who survived that night. Anton recounts the chaos of the ambush, the split-second decisions he made to move civilians to safety, and the stark reality of relying only on a hand-held radio to call Post One. He reflects on the bonds between Marines, the weight of losing friends in an instant, and how the experience has shaped his life ever since.
