Backstory: D.J. was taught that racism would get him nowhere in life as a kid, born of a Mexican dad and African American mom, D.J. grew up with a clear sense of right and wrong, but also added his own vigilante flair to his actions, making him a sort of local legend in Memphis.
He enlisted in 1968 after the death of his cousin, who was killed during the siege of Khe Sanh earlier in the year. He brought his quasi-vigilante style of justice with him to Vietnam, making an impact on his arrival after completing basic training on Camp Pendelton, helping out with missions for MACV-SOG, eventually leading to his recruitment to the organization.
After a raid on the Ho Chi Minh Trail in 1970 that ended with an ammo shipment exploding, the Viet Cong, through Hanoi Hannah, called D.J. "The Memphis Maniac", describing him as a madman during the raid with no regard for the safety of others or his own, and hopes his fellow marines would frag him.
D.J. is also a fan of Elvis and Rock music, his favorite song being "Suspicious Minds"
Now 2 years into his tour, D.J. and his squad mates are on patrol when a white light engulfs them and they disappear, never to be seen again...
