Now think about this, Jake was 15 in 38 which means he was born in 1923. That man is a hundred years old and he is doing fantastic! What a life this man has had! Fantastic story guys! Absolutely love every episode yall do!

now imagine how many guys, could have a nice life like him... but instead they died at around age of 16-25, because a psychopath wanted to rule the world!!

I do believe this. He recounts that the GI right next to him who he momentarily turned to for dry matches who was decapitated, "told him, warned him" to get up and move. He says that this was one of the times, and reasons, he survived the next few seconds. The dead soldier was still warning him: not to stay in place, to MOVE.

Wow! Six battles without a scratch! Thank you for your service sir! My Dad was a WWII Marine. He fought three battles in the Solomon Islands. He had great stories and have his journal that he kept during that time. He didn’t write about tactics. He wrote about what was going on around him. You could tell immediately if he just got out of battle because his writing would be jittery. He was a good man and survived to the age of 82. He passed 11 weeks after my Mom passed. He had a broken heart and missed her terribly. His brain was very sharp and worked til he was 80 years old. Such a good generation of good hard working folks

This man is a beautiful representation of our greatest generation. My own grandfather was a Marine in WWII serving on the assault platoon in Okinawa. He was on the frontlines of hell and had a casualty rate of 90%+ in his platoon and survived by the grace of God. My grandpa shared his stories with school kids going around the country giving his presentation detailing the price of war, and I’ll never forget some of the stories and more importantly the life lessons he learned and instilled in me. He was honored as the Minnesota Vikings Veteran of the year in November of 2015 and I’ll never forget that day. I am beyond proud to be his grandson, and reminded of him by men like the one in this memoir. I miss my grandpa everyday, he passed at 95 a few years ago, but I will always carry a piece of him with me and will never forget the greatest generation that made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms and country. God bless the United States and all those who fought!

Thank you Jake and to all of those of the greatest generation! It's amazing to think how so many of these young adults at the time gave up so many of their personal comforts to literally save the world from tyranny.

Listening to this man speak him recounting the trauma of what he & his fellow brothers in arms experienced got me choked up man. Every single one of them are real true heroes who put their lives on the line to fight against a truly formidable opponent against all odds. I couldn't be anymore prouder of every one of them. That is why these veterans need & deserve to have the very best care in the world. Think they earned that right above everyone else. I truly thank them for their bravery & dedication for their efforts throughout every battle they fought. They'll never be forgotten

I would guess that I’ve watched 1000 of these interviews, and this was by far one of the most touching. Thank you all. And Jake is right. There is definitely someone up above watching over us.

What an amazing guy!!! Thanks from Spain. You´ll find few people in Europe, statistically speaking, with enough common sense to acknowledge and even thanks what that bunch of young americans, among many other nationalities of course, did in Europe. I feel proud to say that I´m of of them few. THANKS!!!

Hey Josh, thank you so much for what you are doing to preserve the history of the brave men who served this country. I've seen a few of Mr. Larson's interviews over the years, and the more I watch, the more I kick my self for not being as interested in the stories and history as I am today. I'm glad we will have these for future generations to help us understand this generation specifically. Truly a different breed of American, and I thank these brave men every day I get to wake up to the freedom I get to enjoy.
