Rebecca talked with guest Jerry Della Salla who is United States Army combat veteran, both stage and film actor, writer, producer, stuntman, author, and boxer. While in the Army, he served a year with the 18th MP Battalion and 306th MP Unit – OIF3. He studied with Stella Adler and graduated from the NYU Tisch Drama program. Jerry has over 35 entertainment credits and co-starred with the late Victor Argo in his last film, Personal Sergeant. He also co-starred opposite Matt Damon in Green Zone. Earlier in his life, Jerry performed with Edward Norton Off-Broadway in Waiting For Lefty and also with Peter Dinklage in Taming of the Shrew. He boxed amateur in the NJ Diamond Gloves and trained under Hall of Fame coach Tex Gonzalez. He is a company member of Pacific Resident Theater in Venice, CA.
Jerry shared what compelled his Army enlistment and how it correlated with his entertainment career. His love for, dedication, and commitment to our country drove him to take a stance that rose from an attack on U.S. soil. His experience and unwavering reverence for Christ inspired him to create and write a play. After deep and continued prayer, Jerry received an answer that lead him to bring it to life. He then sought a business partner who had specific gifts that could convey and evoke the message needing to be delivered. The title is Miracle at Camp Redemption.
Jerry detailed how he has been able to vocal his work as a poet, specifically war-themed poetry as a side passion to his current writings. During this fun conversation, Jerry pointed the audience to thought-provoking and life-changing insights that are sure to inspire.
In honor of Sgt. Della Salla's service, below is what many who have seen him on screen may not know...
"On April 2nd, 2005, SGT. Jerry Della Salla was wounded in a three hour long base attack while serving in Iraq. At the time, it was the single largest attack on any base in theater. The battle to this day has also held a unique place in the wars history, because every single military component (Army, Navy, Marine, Air-Force and Coalition troupes) fought side by side to fendoff the enemy. For his actions, Jerry Della Salla was awarded the Combat Action Badge and is under review for the Purple Heart. Other Medals and citations include the Army Good Conduct Medal, the Army Achievement Medal, The Generals Coin for Excellence, The Iraqi Campaign Medal and the Global War on Terrorism Medal."
