Man, this man has done and seen almost everything. Love that Georgia accent too. God bless you sir I love how sharp your mind is and how you articulated your experiences with us.
This man is the prime example of a war hero and is why America is what it is. His resilience is why we are free. Its amazing that he remembers every date, who died where and when. Unfortunately with a memory like that he more than likely pays the price in his sleep. Thank you sir to you and the greatest generation on earth for you heroic service. 🇺🇲
My uncle was one of the 88 out of 600, he made it through the war till the end. He told his younger brothers survival stradegies, his younger brother was in the 101st airborne.
These time restrained interviews really do an injustice for these Vets. This man served in 3 wars,there should be at the least 3 hours but his and all others should take as long as they need to tell their story.
My Pop was with the 30th Infantry, 120th Regiment Company G. Mortar Sargent Silver Star w/OLC Bronze Star CIB Purple Heart and Presidential Unit Citation for Mortain . These guys were tough ☘️
My grandpa (from Dallas, GA) joined in 1940 and left Oct 1945. His last outfit was the 113th Cav in Europe. His mos was MP before the war and left as warrant officer. That's all I know. Don't know if he fought or anything. My mom said he went AWOL but I found US Army records showing his last paycheck with all the facts.
So many men lied to get into the service so they could defend there country.including my father who got in at 17 that fought and served in the Korean war.kids 16 and 17 today only have the desire to play xbox and smoke vape pens👎very sad state of affairs
Interviewer needs to learn how to transition out of conversation he seems to cut him off when he's about to have a moment or share more stories. Good conversation but not the best way of interviewing.
The 551 pir is a so overlooked unit this was the best airborne unit in ww2 nicknamed the goyas goya stands for get off your ass this unit is completely decimated in the hamlet of Rochelinval Belgium were their commander Wood Joerg got killed also after that the remainder of 551 went up into the 82nd ab i suggest whos interested in this unit read the book At the left corner of my heart by Dan Morgan than you will find what i mean .
THE COLONEL worked with the CIA in the Mekong Delta, and warned against using torture-----as per Geneva Convention.This is morality during wars.Villagers gave US some classified info.Pols prevented a win in Southeast Asia.Go 82nd AR
I had a big problem with this interview-- it was too damn short!! This man's life deserves several books. Thank you for this much

Love these testimonies from courageous patriots, thank you
If I’m blessed to live that long I pray that I’m as sharp as this hero.. impressive
Interviewer did an excellent job let the man tell the story. He had an awesome story as well. 16 years old enlisted
Hell of a memory, the detail that he has at his command.
Great video of one of the " Greatest Generation".
Thankyou Sir 🇺🇸

What a story. Kind words for Gavin. He was Sharp as a tack!!
After the war, the Vietnamese officers fighting the US admitted the Phoenix program destroyed their control of the Delta.
I wonder what did he do in civil life. You should include that kind of information.
Bless them All.

You're telling me none of these men had menstrual periods?
Not a one.
20 years old in 1943.. He should be over 100 years old
If he was 20 in 1943 he would be 99
He said that in 1942 he was 16 when he went into the military.
I just read his obituary. He passed away in 2017 of pancreatic cancer.
