This channel needs another 10 million subs

I met Woody at a Medal of Honor convention and he told me that Japanese bullets hit his tank but bounced off because they hit at such a sharp angle. He kept his nose as close to the ground as possible and that was difficult due to the hot volcanic sand.

our generation doesnt realise what precious relics these people and their stories are. thanks for what you're doing josh. love from india

My father and one of his brothers was a veteran of the Vietnam war, which isn’t researched and memorialized. His oldest brother was a Korean War veteran. Just like WWII my children will never know what their freedom costs. Thanks for such passion for keeping their memories and sacrifices alive.

Please never stop making these type of videos. Even when ww2 veterans are all gone there is sooo many veterans from other battles. I love what you guys do.

My great grandpa served in ww2, and died in 1990. He served in the pacific, as an AA gun spotter/director. to sum it up, he showed gunners where/what planes to shoot down. One day in the pacific, he assisted gunners in shooting down 11 Japanese planes. My father and I did some research recently, and we found navy documents, the ship he served on (the AGC-2 USS Blue Ridge amphibious landing craft carrier), when he joined, a relative who served with him on the blue ridge, etc. I live in honor of his service, and strive in following him into the military. Thank you Great Grandpa Clarence!

Thank you so much for what you do with getting these comments and films. Stay safe mask up and God bless

What a great I stumbled upon here. Thanks for what you do. My Dad was in WWII in the Philippines, he really never talked about it, sorry to say. He suffered malaria horribly from being there for the rest of his life, springing up every few months.

Mr Williams is one outstanding individual. Semper Fi.

That is one of my favorite stories on the channel

What you are doing is SO important. Thank you!

He's such an amazing man to listen to speak. His episode is probably my favorite. I can't believe how great you guys did with the time you were given. Keep up the hard work guys, what you're doing is so important.

Thank you for making these stories heard!

Who knew? I figured you had asked a bunch of questions. Thank you for doing this mission of interviewing these heroes! May we never forget their sacrifices!

What a beautiful video. Your channel is so special and important. I think it matters that you’re young and producing material of this nature because I sometimes think our generation doesn’t feel the grip of history as relevant, or the sacrifices of those who went before us as meaningful. We take so much for granted. Hearing these memories, and the bravery and fear of those young men confronted with the reality of brutal warfare should humble any ego. What a different time, when soldiers were drafted or volunteered from all walks of life, who saved saved the future for us and lost so much in the process. The further we get from this place in time, the more valuable your documentation will become. Thank you for doing this. Every contribution to our heroes matters.

RIP Woody! you carried that medal for the heroes who didnt return amazingly. you coming to the school a few times and talking to all of us was something ill never forget. We had a hell of a parade for you here back home for your funeral. Thousands watched as you traveled from huntington to charleston to your final resting place. thank you for your service Woody i hope one day to be as brave and kind as you. Semper Fi marine and god speed.

I love your videos man I love ww2 history and watching your videos makes my day a million times better

Your work is amazing. Unfortunately this country lost this amazing public servant just a couple months ago. Thank you for your service, sir.

This channel is what helps keep the memories alive of these soldiers. Thank you.

These "behind the scenes" videos are just as good or better than the original production.

im going to cry when there arent any ww2 vets left :((((

i love the work you put into this channel, saving these important stories forever

I wish this was around when my great uncle had been alive. He served under Patton. In Germany, he slept and woke to a night attack where he woke up and sat in his bed for a few seconds. He heard a bullet fly by his head and he saved the bullet he dug out of the wooden headboard he was in. He had WWII memorabilia from Nazi soldiers, Nazi flags, and other amazing WWII artifacts. Sadly, his partners family stole it from our family about 10 years ago and we've never seen it since. I do have his memoir of those years that he typed up of his life story. This further makes me want to share it.

Josh thank you to you and your staff for posting these amazing stories of service and sacrifice fron the greatest generation ever I lost 3 great uncles in ww2 and had a total of 7 family members serve in ww2, an uncle in Korea my Father is a Canadian USMC Vietnam veteran and myself served for ten years and deployed 4 times . Just amazing what you are doing with these stories and veterans thank you .

Thank you for saving our freedom. Im from Philippines

Another story for the most important archives. We owe these men so much gratitude. Thank you for serving Sir. Jason, thank you for you dedication, hard work and commitment to these hero’s and their stories.

I love the work you guys do, this is so damn important to take video of, what soldiers went trough. What i would love to see is an interview with soldiers from different countries. German or russian veteran would be amazing 😊

I find it very interesting to hear these stories. What these men and women went through was tough. They are the greatest generation.

Astonishing how interesting WW2 is.

That would be so awesome if you could come to Australia and find some ww2 veterans here

Josh, I have to say, you were already a hero for me on the FT channel and I fell in love in the hobby for a large part due to your captivating presence on the beginner series. I am lucky to say that I spend a lot of time designing/building WW2 aircraft models nowadays, and finding this channel has been one of the best things in my life recently! I am currently working on a P51B/C Mustang and listening your interview of the Tuskegee pilot who flew that very plane has been a significant motivator for the project. I am infinitely grateful for what you and your team do. I hope and pray that this channel continues to prosper well into the future! Thanks brother :)

I absolutely love your work, these memories men and stories should never be forgotten ever. Thank you for paying these people the respect and honor they deserve

These videos are amazing! I love hearing these stories. Keep up the amazing work!

Josh, you are not only a compassionate man, but an outstanding artist in crafting these veteran's stories via the skills you (and your team) possess in excellent videography, music, historic film clips, etc.!!! I'm so happy to be one of your Patreon supporters so that you can capture these golden souls and their amazing stories before they leave us!! Blessings to you all!!! > ;o)

I just found your channel. Thank you thank you. My sons are 16 and 17 and so fascinated. We respect what you are showing to the world.

Absolutely the greatest generation by far

Woodys home town is only about 20 minutes away from me. Incredible guy and great west Virginian

Thank you for all you are doing to preserve these veterans and their memories.

It would be amazing to hear the full interviews of these heroes! Maybe as a podcast?

Your videos are phenomenal. I wish these were started a long time ago. It won’t be too much longer when there won’t be any vets of WW2 left😔. I look forward to the new interviews every month during the season!

every veteran is a hero

Hey can you do a intveiew for the Canada side? Everyone wants the axis side and I want just I want a more possible goal.

He lived close to me and the bridge with his name is almost with in eye sight of my home. He was a very respected man and Carie’s any room he entered.

I love this!

What a great video and a great story. I appreciate everything Josh and this channel has done for our WWII vets.

What an excellent job you do sharing the stories the veterans have--outstanding work. Thank you for making it available

I have been watching your videos for the last 2 years and they are just amazing! Now i am a patreon, because your guys do gods work. So much love from Denmark!:)

Great video! Thank you for what you do . SEMPER FI !

God Bless any man and woman serving or did serve. Braver than me anybody else I know. I love you all for serving our country. Thank you.

Thank you for the good video always!

I can’t thank you enough for your channel.

Great work once again Josh.

As of this morning Hershel ‘Woody’ Williams passed away at the age of 98, he was the last living WW2 Medal of Honor recipient, he fought in the battle of Iwo Jima

Great video

Cool

Dont forget those Korean War vets....they're not spring chickens anymore either, and they have incredible accounts of a very historically important conflict.

I have a ww2 vet that goes to my church. I've been to nervous to ask him some questions though.

Very very interesting hearing the behind the scenes information.

Thanks man!

I pray to god im blessed with the honor of meeting a m.o.h recipient one day in my life… its easily the highest goal on my bucket list of life!

Love the Behind the Scenes!

Hey Josh, I was wondering if it would be possible to team up with Flite Test to make an event were the WW2 veterans can go and fly some planes, meet each other, and share their stories. PS: My Grandfather gave the suggestion.😊

Amazing

this is incredible

I love what you are doing. It is super important to have all of these stories recorded directly from the veterans themselves. Have you thought about subcontracting out interviews to people around the world? I’m in the uk and I’m sure there are many people who’d love to have their stories heard.

Have you considered somebody from Hungary? That country has phenomenal WW2 history.

I hate that we still hate veterans after all they did for use

Amazing job you guys have done ! Please consider coming to Brazil to interview the FEB veterans from WW2, right now 89 of them is still liveing and most of than are so thankfull to speak about their time in war, considering tha here in Brazil they were just forgotten ! Besides that, Brazil has a really low cost to visit and stay for you guys that uses dollars.

I love your videos

God Bless you guys for doing what you are doing. These MEN are all aTRUE HEROS. All of our military. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. I know I have my freedom, and it comes from the highest of costs. May God bless you all. 🇺🇸🪖🎖

just saw on the news that we have lost him on wednesday june 29🥺 may you rest in peace sir

He just passed away may he R.I.P

wow

National Treasures 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲..

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Do you think you could find some ww2 vets from other countries such as germany or russia or uk if you can find any

🇬🇧🦁🇺🇸🦅

I live in the east coast. Where can I find out where he does speeches? Thanks.

Can you try Vincent Speranza from the 101st Airborne Division.

My great grandpa served on a supply ship in 45.

He operated a flamethrower

My wife's great uncle Clifford Duckett was KIA in Germany in 44 or 45

And the British WW2 veterans please happy to help out 👍🏻

C’est dommage que c’est pas sous-titré en français comme d’habitude thank you 🇺🇸🇺🇸

👍

Ativem as legendas para que nós Brasileiros também possamos assistir 😪

I had the personal honor to shake Woody's hand while riding in the MOH parade in Gainesville, TX some years ago.

Kool it’s josh

Just curious...can anyone tell me why the award is an inverted pentagram?

Mr. Woody is great. He has a great Christian Testimony as well.

Dude where the subtitle indonesia?

Would you guys ever consider doing veterans from the Vietnam and Korean era too?

Does it have to be a WWll veteran

OK I’M GLAD I HEARD YOU MENTION THE FACT CONCERNING THE PLEDGE. I ALSO THOUGHT YOU GUYS REMOVED THE PART OF THE PLEDGE THAT MENTIONS ALMIGHTY GOD ..

I agree that real heros are those who died in combat.

I want vietnam war memories

i met woody he gave me some big coins of the ship name after him for my donation of one of my images for a gold star memorial

SALUTE!! FOR YOUR SERVICE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!! FOR YOUR SACRIFICE SHALL NOT BE IN VAIN!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

You should go to Europe

Of the 25 minutes that you interviewed him, he had about 2 minutes in this video.
