24th ID Vet Goes Fishing

This video focuses on a television program featuring Darrell J. Krenz, a member of the 24th Infantry Division. Krenz  survived the infamous Tiger Death March as a POW during the Korean War.

​Krenz was paired up with fishing pro, Jay Garstecki, on a program called, “Operation Fishing Freedom.” The tv series is touted by the Sportsman Channel as part historical documentary and part fishing show. Each 30-minute episode features different veterans sharing their stories while fishing. Garstecki is one of the founders of Take a Vet Fishing, a non-profit organization that takes US military veterans fishing to help tell their stories and raise awareness of Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS).

​Krenz took to the water, with all the freedoms that go with it, and shared his stories of war, survival and the years thereafter. The 86-year-old from Madison, WI, was a bazooka operator and sniper scope gunner with the 24th Infantry Division, and one of the 7,200 American POWs in Korea. 

Krenz was a Prisoner of War after he was captured on July 20, 1950, and was held until his release on August 26, 1953, after the signing of the Armistice.
