Thanks for your service ! Please remember the ones that didn’t make it back home!

Thank you sir for everything you did! God bless you!

Great story. Thank you, Bob and Larry for sharing.

Thank you Mr. Walker for serving. You were able to paint a vivid picture of the day, and the chaos that took place as all moved toward a single goal. Truly an amazing group of warriors on a truly amazing day. Thank you Larry for another great video. Mr. Walker did a wonderful job of filling out much of what the Navy did and saw.

“Don’t ever let them take your guns away “ AMEN Bro 🇺🇸

God Bless you Bob.

Thanks Dad! I just love your insight and knowledge, and I'm so proud to be your daughter! R I P Bob Walker

Incredible strength. What a pitiful waste of humility. RIP

Amazing story about the landing on Omaha Beach from a sailors perspective. Thank you for your service.

Thank you sailor!

So many that served on the non-combat ships never got the recognition they deserved. My dad served on the USS Dixie AD-14 in the Pacific in WWII. He’s gone now. The were just getting rid of the LKA’s (new designation for the APA) when I enlisted in the Marine Corps. But in boot camp we had to climb down cargo nets in training mock ups.

My grandpa served on the USS Henrico During WW2. He was a AA Gunner, witness D-Day and Okinawa Operation. Then sent to Bikini Atoll with Henrico to carry all the scientist and equipment for the Atomic Bomb blast. He came back major radiation poisoning and past away in 2006. He was born in 1928 and lied about his age to get in the Military

The Lord saved you then for you to share your story now. Never forget.

Larry totaly agree about commercials I will also turn off a podcast with to many than you for your work.

Also - how about the US Merchant Marine? I worked with a fellow who served on their ships. He was blown overboard on two different crossings and survived. I would like to hear from them too.

I'm disappointed. I have been following, watching your content for some time and always coming away saying to myself, even though I don't really have an extra 100, I gotta support this man. Because you see, for me, just as you say, this is just too important . I have shared your content. I am a US Military veteran and retired DoD civilian. My dad retired Navy served supporting Korea and Vietnam wars, his dad was a WW-2 B-17 crewchief overseas. Well, tonight was going to be that night and so while listening to your opening comments I for the first time finally clicked on and began looking at all the faces fully intending to pitch in the 100 dollars to sponsor. I have a profound love and respect for the US Military. I have a deeper respect and gratitude for US Military Combat Veterans. Unfortunately, your stating "Don't ever let them take your guns" caught my attention and i realized that I didn't think that your comment was appropriate given the current cultural struggle we face trying to come to grips with the tragedy's of mass shootings.

What happened to the other crewmen on his capsized Higgins boat?

Could you give us an idea of how much it costs to sponsor a video? More might be willing to donate if they found out it would be within their budget. Could it be a small as $100 or as much as $1,000?
