Quotes from others about the person
"Darrel saved my life in Iraq, at great personal risk. Darrel did not hesitate to act. He never declined a mission in Baghdad or Southern Iraq, among other hot zones. Darrel is possessed of uncommon courage, and mastered Soldierly skills to a rare degree, such as marksmanship, endurance, and a possessed a certain bonhomie that made him a natural leader. I am sure he is a brilliant lawyer. He is scrupulously honest, even when honesty landed him in professional difficulties in the Army. I am proud to call him a friend, colleague, and fellow Soldier"
