Bro youre such a scumbag lmaoo exploiting these heros for profit, paying them NOTHING for their time & service, then BEGGING and guilting the audience into paying for something that is entirely your responsibility (and is covered 50x over) by your content revenue. Tech support scamming would be more moral than what you do🤡

Wonderful story. Thank you for sharing.

Your uncle was a great man. Thank you!!

God bless him!

I'm from Louisiana and know exactly where St.Martinville is. That's a wonderful memory and I wish Patton would have gave every soldier the same equivalent respect as a warrior should be honored by.

GOD Bless Him!!!

😔🙏🏻

Stand easy, sir. We thank you. ❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸

May GOD Keep Him and give this Man Peace and Love through Eternity!

My dad was a Fighter/Bomber pilot in the South Pacific he never talked about it,either.

And will never go to war again.

Yep!!

War is wonderful, lets sing a song.

What's sad are legal immigrants standing up for our flag and freedoms; while citizens born here don't appreciate our CONSTITUTIONAL Freedom and GOD given rights. In Glendale CA, folks of Armenian descent are standing up for our flag and freedoms. They are questioning the school board about teaching K-3d grade about transgenderism and sexual preferences. Suddenly ANTIFA showed up to "back" members of the LGBTQ community pushing back against these families having the gumption to question them. One gentleman if Armenian descent was holding an American flag. A member of ANTIFA and the LGBTQ community wanted to destroy the American flag and chanting about injuring those who had the balls to say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. The Armenian gentleman asked why they wanted to destroy the American flag but protecting the gay pride flag. This infuriated them especially when he told them no one was taking the American flag from him. The Armenian won. Where is this hatred for our country, values, constitutional freedoms and GOD given rights coming from? Why was a group of children singing the NATIONAL ANTHEM inside the Capitol Building in DC told to stop? They had permission to be there and perform. The Capitol Building Police declared our NATIONAL ANTHEM as a "song of protest". This is egregious and shameful. May GOD bless America. More importantly, may God bless GOD while we still can.

​@Nelson Vecchione . The purpose of our military is to protect our country from attack and defend our CONSTITUTIONAL freedoms and GOD given rights. This oath includes attack from an outside force or from within (tyranny on the part of our own government). As Teddy Roosevelt said America should walk quietly but carry a big stick. Meaning: we will leave folks alone but don't push our buttons. Eisenhower tried warning of the military (Pentagon types) colluding with defense contractors (supported by media to spread the "right information") which isn't the purpose of our military. Our military is to be feared. Unfortunately, no one paid attention to Eisenhower. Now we have a single source defense contractor charging $400,000 per Stinger missile. When we had 2/3 contractors trying to make them, these same weapon systems cost $25,000. That's quite a difference. We have Generals retiring who are to wait 5 yrs before getting high paying positions with defense contractors. They receive a waiver instead allowing them to take these jobs. Their insight from the Pentagon makes them a much wanted employee. Or they become lobbyists for these contractors. Once again, their connections at the Pentagon make them invaluable. No waivers should be granted. Return our military into a fighting machine and we'll equipped. Forget the WOKE LGBTQ climate change BS. Their role is to protect and if necessary fight to win. Why are we in Ukraine? We have zero insight into the billions of dollars funneled there. Nothing was done to Russia when they invaded during the Obama yrs.

Oh this hit me like a load of bricks and couldn’t breath for a few trying not to cry. God, I want to hug this veteran so badly. Really, what else could he have done??? These were his orders and there was a job to do, a huge one. What we ask of our soldiers seems like too much sometimes for any human to take.

I hope he found peace that’s a ruff thing to live with

Being cannon fodder is what we agree to do as a soldier. We go onto battlefield already accepting we are going to die, that's the mindset you have. And you're okay with that

​@@shable1436lemme tell you like an old Marine told me. "War isn't about dying for country.. it's about making the other SOB die for his"

I am a doc and had the honor of taking care of one of these landing craft pilots from D-day.... He told me about having to drive over American soldiers to deliver his soldiers onto the beach... He had never told anyone about having had to do that. Today's youth and older have no appreciation for what these men did.

To the free world.

well said!

Just to see what everything has come to. I feel disgusting to have them see what they all died for. For nothing

@@jessestinson9252it wasn’t for nothing, concentration camps were liberated and helped stopped the Führer from actually possibly succeeding on his plan of world dominance. Don’t think they were really thinking of todays degenerates..

@@jessestinson9252 A lot of us feel the same way. Pray that true warriors will RISE from the ruins. GOD SAVE THE WEST!

There are millions here in Europe. I live in the Netherlands and we have waiting lists to care for fallen heroes’ graves. My son and I regularly bring cans of Heineken to the graves of a bomber-crew that crashed in our village.

my great uncle was killed at St. Lo too

No disrespect to his service that helped give me the freedom I have enjoyed all my life but, the first V1 (buzz bomb) fired in anger was against London on June 13th 1944. ???

Did this guy say he shot Hitler though? Idk man. That memory might be a little suspect. Also hard to believe he was the first guy on the beach... what are the odds? Also why would there have been so much blood already if he was the first on the beach? Why would he say their were dead bodies everywhere when he stepped out if he was the first on the beach?

@@TheMapman01 He said he'd shot a chalk figure of Hitler that he thought was an actual person at the time and that his buddies kidded him about shooting Hitler from then on.

@@TheMapman01He said that was when he looked back later

@@TheMapman01, I’m not trying to confirm or disprove his story, but lots of guys got hit in the landing craft before they ever got to the beach. Some went over the side of the L.C.’s and got shot while trying to get to the beach. That would explain why the water was red and the bodies were washing in, especially if the tide was coming in. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s not about being not afraid or scared. It’s about what you do when you are scared.

Happy to hear it.

Hey, although that may have been difficult to recount, I salute you(figuratively) for doing so. Let me say from PERSONAL experience in which my grandfather fought in the Korean (War), yet never recorded, through print or voice media, a narrative of any length or depth of detail about his experiences. When I was very young, I asked him questions multiple times and got stories that appeared to deliberately exclude the actual combat experience he had. He focused on the fun and hilarity they had in bar fights with troops from a rival service or experiences in the boxing ring he had fighting in the Navy. His nickname was K.O., for obvious reasons and I learned alot about heart, bravery, timing, precision, and courage from his recounting of many of his bouts. He was very modest, in nature, so I had to pry details from him. My great uncle, who actually fought in the Korean War as well, was great for filling in all the blanks so I could get a more detailed and complete documentation of all the knockouts he got on people. Anyway, he, a hero, did indeed fight in the war, but he passed away when I was 14 years old and I wish with all of my heart that I had those accounts and achievements. If for nothing else, to just hear his voice again. Please do not underestimate the value you represent for your loved ones. Dont be afraid to appear in any negative light or way. Its not for you. Its for the family that want to know where they fit in the world, where they are from, and what you did to pave the way and how, It gives them that sense of belonging to a group and they are proud that you tried to do your part. Most of all, the later generations will want to be able to HEAR YOUR VOICE. Be corny and tell them you love them and encourage them to get everything they can out of life and to leave the Earth better than they found it or whatever you want them to hear.

Enjoy your cookies...

I think that these older generations use the word “why” like younger generations use the phrase “um”!

What service .. You mean you have not discovered what the war was about yet..

@@dominiclarosa489 Tell me you are braindead without telling me you are braindead.

Make the videos there!

@@pamelaoliver8442 they do

I was thinking that as well. There are videos of regional American English dialects , and this is a great example. His diction should be preserved.

That's Oklahoma.

That's the way most of the southerners speak still to this day😂, everyone around my area still has a hillbilly accent, and I live in South western Virginia

@@shable1436 This guy's accent and word use is really different. I grew up in Texas and this guy's accent was common with older fold but it's rare to hear it now.

@@Atitlan1222 People get around more than they did back in his day so different dialects from all over the country are becoming more and more rare.

We even elected a draft dodger in 2016. Pathetic

What ' groups ' are you referring to?

Vietnam? Whatever it was there is honour in it.. South Africa I don't see any benefit in joining our army. :/

He served not just your country.❤
