Thank you sir for posting... I missed that feature and it's one of the best I've seen in years. Ive met Mr Landry three times and attended his day when they honored him on Apr 22 1989.. it was the best cowboys event I ever attended and he was a real class act.
You are welcome John. Yes, it was one of the best segments of his military service I have seen as well. What a great event to attend in April 1989. His remarks are also posted here on this channel at th-cam.com/video/cCb8khhGEqw/w-d-xo.html. I am not sure yet, but I may post the whole event eventually.
@@rog9601 yes I was supposed to video tape my buddys wedding ..i got him a replacement and went to dallas . Flew in from Connecticut..Wasn't going to miss that and met him the next day at a small sporting good store where he was signing ...FOR FREE no less
I feel blessed to have run across this video. My dad was a B17 pilot shot down Oct.17, 1943. in Regensburg raid. He Loved Coach Landry, and always bet on the Cowboys to win :) When Mr Hobbs cried , I did too.
My dad was almost a month older that Tom Landry and was also a WWII bomber pilot. His experience was very similar and as mentioned in this video Landry didn’t talk much about his war experiences. Same as my dad and most other WWII vets. They didn’t talk about it much. The vetting process produced an incredibly smart and amazing group of guys who became pilots. I was lucky enough to not only be raised by one of those guys but grew up around a lot of my dad’s friends who were also WWII pilots.
One of GREATEST American i never meet...and a man that truly loved our Creator..hes buried in the State Cemetery about a mile from where he played football for one of the greatest college football programs THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS✝️🇺🇸🤘
My grandfather was in one of the photos 😢 wish I knew more about back then or hear a story or two about him Alva France (Larry) not sure if he had any nicknames Would love to know
His story ought to be shared, many did not talk much about their experiences. If you do enough research you'll have a chance to find something out. I went through something similar and was able to put stories together. There are many WWII sources out there.
Thank you Coach. I live in Canada & watched Cowboys on the 70's with Doomsday D'
I have tremendous respect for coach Landry & all he stood💥
Respect to Coach Landry. RIP
Great segment. Thanks for sharing. Brought a tear to my eye.

Honors to your father Don, THE GREATEST GENERATION...PERIOD.
Looked up: masculinity, patriarchy, leader, fortitude, temperance in the dictionary; found a picture of Tom Landry
