Alfred Shehab, Battle of the Bulge Veteran (Full Interview) 

A great soldier and a great gentleman. LTC (Ret) Shehab passed away Dec 10, 2020 at the age of 101. Rest In Peace, Sir. RESPECT!

My grandfather stormed Omaha beach and on to Bostogne. The terror he faced affected generations of our family. God bless those heros that faced evil and hellfire for the future generations.

He was talking about it like he was there yesterday, very impressive 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

This man is a legend. Thank you for your service to our country and for being a Patriot.

More people need to watch this

I could listen to these men all day.. Seems like there was an unwritten code, In which many of them didnt talk about what took place. You knew that they were in the service and you knew that they fought in the war.. That was about as much as they were willing to share for many years.. Thank you guys for giving them a chance to finally let it out and tell their stories ..

My great uncle fought through that battle. Had two or three M4 Sherman tanks shot out from under him. The last one left him with shrapnel in his back that he let my brother and I feel the scar tissue bumps on his back near his spine. Uncle Virgil

My friends father was in the Battle of the Bulge in the "101st....Really neat gentleman! Every winter when it became snowy or foggy he would have nightmares.

"I took an oath". If only our elected officials held their oath as seriously as this Hero.

The last part of this interview is, by far, the most important message to be understood by those who may not have been given such important information before.

Im a millennial and i totally agree that we need to teach more about what it takes to get the rights and freedoms eveyone takes for granted. Its insane we tolerate teachers pushing marxist anti American rhetoric in school.

Be looks great for being in his 90’s he looks more in his 70’s or early 80’s

This man's a genuine patriot. Thank you so much, sir.

You're a brave soul!

This interview need to be seen by every young person AND is a good reminder for the older generation. Freedom is not free. Showing respect for our flag and the lives that were lost to buy the freedom we enjoy today was very costly. May we never forget. Thank Yo Lt Col. Shehab, may you rest in peace!

Thank you Mr. Shehab 🙏🏽

I would really enjoy to talk to this gentleman and listen to his story.

Thank You Alfred for sharing your story - its important for people to know it and others that served at this time.

Alfred Shehab, I like you !! Thank you for all you have done and still do !!! FEW GIVE BACK, FEW GIVE AS YOU HAVE !!

Alfred wanted to fight against The Bolsheviks. All these interviews , I finally hear one guy who understood who the real enemy is.

Why limit the time for such interviews? He could have told so much more

Interesting story that would make a terrific movie and teach many lessons. Thank you for your Service to our Country and for our freedom!

Mr. Shehab please write a Book.

A charismatic man

Great interview. Thank you for sharing this man's story.

Interesting military life story, this honored Veteran.

Thank you very much for your stories and your service to this country. God Bless...

The LTC Shehab mentioned the 106 Div a couple of times where my father was taken prisoner. Dad described the 106th as a green division that was basically sacrificed to allow the other units to stabilize and hold the german advance. He was wounded and taken prisoner and held at "Bad Orb" Germany. In the battle of the bulge something like 9,000 GI's disappeared. When asked what he remembered most about being a POW he said "lice" and he could still feel them on his body. He still had a soft area on his skull and shrapnel scars on the entire left side of his body where he was wounded. He passed in 2012 at 86 years of age.

"I'm not a Mr., I'm a Leiutenant Colonel. The Mr. went out when I took the oath".

Thank you for your service, Sir!

my great uncle was there with the Canadians, he left his leg there!

Respect

Wow only 16,487 views from Oct. 2019 forward.....guess to many people playing video games and getting FREE stuff to watch a great man tell it like it is...sad. Our country (USA) will pay a terrible price for not learning from what really should be important and history bares this out.

37:25 Funny he should mention it (about the movie Patton). I was just thinking about his point on the matter before he even stated it. Not only are most of the younger generation unfamiliar with the movie, most kids probably do not even know who General George Patton was ( or even heard of WW2 for that matter). Thank you Lt. Col Shehab for your service. Today's youth know little about anything beyond Tiktok, Facebook, or America's Got Talent.

My grandfather was captured and held hostage by the Germans at the Battle of the Bulge. Came back home never quite the same. He and the others who fought and gave so much are to be commended and never forgotten. True hero’s

We are free due to this gentleman. So much respect

My buddy Charlie was there , he got frost bite so he got hauled out of there , in my opinion that what saved his life

I think every American under the age of 40 needs to hear what this great man says at the end. I fully agree with him that when you take your oath that it is for life, I know my did and I still believe in it, I'll be 49 years old in a few days and if my country called and said they needed me today I'd be on my way. We have a great country and we enjoy all kinds of Freedoms and all those freedoms people take for granted was not cheep then and they are not cheap this day. Many good men and women have died for our Freedom and no thank you will never be good enough for them. So from one old Marine to all my brothers and sisters in Arms, thank you all for what you have done and may have to do for our country and families. Semper Fi from an old Marine

a sharp memory there Sir thank you.

Thank you

guy just gets started talking about the good stuff and u go and do a break nice

HERE .! HERE..! Signed. 23rd INF. DIV. AMERICAL ...1970

I have nothing but respect for the veterans who came before me. I would never give up. I wasn't ending up in a orange jumpsuit getting my head taken. I told my guys I would fight with them until I had 3 bullets left then I was putting my rifle on 3 round burst and ending it myself I wasn't letting them get their hands on me

I agree with you sir!!!

Do you have any interviews from soldiers who served in the signal corps/XVI corps? I've got family ties and would love to hear stories or anything to do with telephone line constructors/wire runners

This man sounds like a British officer when you hear him talk about a swagger stick and tea, but he was in the US Army

new jersey native nice. God bless hero!

What a great Patriot !

What a hero!

Rest well, lieutenant Colonel💪🏽

Hero!!!

We need a good very realistic WWII movie that puts it all together in say 4 hours so we get a very good idea as to what all happened. A movie that shows all the countries involved and what happened in each of those countries and how they all contributed to the war effort. It would be a difficult movie to make because of all that took place but I think it could be made. The movie could be titled..."WWII in 4 Hours". Most videos/movies pick out one small fragment of the war and focus solely on it. Make the movie so that everything is presented in chronological order we get a good idea as to what happened and when...

A handsome gentleman. Well spoken, a class act. Not a great interviewer.

Not to go off course from this hero but when i wear linen shorts in the summer it is also a battle of the bulge. I had went commendo once, and as said in Johnny Dangerously, "just once".

Why the breaks? This isn’t on tv and it might mess up something he was gonna say or get into

POL refers to a fueling point; petroleum/oil/lubrication.

We are nothing.me included..this generation is nothing in comparison to that of this fine Sir..that generation gave there all and everything to save todays world.. this gereation takes the world and messes it up...God bless you all.

What brave men.Of course this gentleman included. 81000 casualties!

He's one of many Lebanese American WWII veterans that many should know.

...did he say "When i saw WAACS kanding in France that was it"? Oh my :P

The Russians had doubts about olive oil? 28:50

My dad has 6 brothers, every one went to VIetnam and all came back, well one blew his head off later but still

If you ain't cav....

How can we avoid repeating history if young people are not taught it in schools.

I watch these all the time............. and I look at America now.............. and I have great sorrow for what I see. Great Americans like this are slammed because they are not african. It's true.

37:33 Bingo!

Too bad tge interviewer doesn't asked more intense questions.

“The Palestinians are paying the price of the Holocaust.” That’s a profound statement and unfortunately, America is complicit in this human tragedy.

I'd love to see this man go have 'a talk' with Trump. Now that'd be a presidential education like none other! lol

The chemical cello immediately pine because composition histochemically dress a a mountainous paper. scrawny, symptomatic playground

what did he mean that the Palestinians are paying for it, something that a western christian nation did?

Again the Malmedy massacre. But the Americans were shooting German prisoners of war too. But what was Hitler suppose to do, just let the Americans come into Germany? The German generals were not against the Aredens offensive. They just felt Hitler was trying to go to far with the attack.But Pieper almost got there. He ran out of fuel.

Wondering what his pronouns are?

Did he do any actual fighting, sounds like he managed to avoid combat and had an easy time.

Trump we wouldn't know about this stuff. He dodged the draft.

I love how pissed off they get after you interrupt them for you to change your tampons
