Sorry to hear of your loss. He was a great man. Thanks to this video many more know his story.

May he rest in peace

was the tuff guy t shirt the giveaway?

Why are they the greatest generation? It was on their watch the Marxist infiltration took hold on this country. It was on their watch the coup d'etat took place when JFK was murdered. It was on their watch 58,000 men and 1,000,000 Vietnamese were killed in a senseless war that was prolonged to enrich those invested in the Military Industrial Complex. It was on their watch America turned into a socialist welfare state. It was on their watch the Cultural Marxists infiltrated the Universities, the pulpit and THE GOVERNMENT. They are far from the greatest generation'. The United States is now on the precipice of falling off the cliff into an irreversible dive into an Orwellian state, where individual liberty will be a thing of the past. The so called 'Greatest Generation' was responsible for allowing the enemies inside the gates to set up their beachhead for the demise and destruction of the United States as a nation of sovereign and free people. Why are the Marines of WWII any better than Marines of WWI or Marines of Vietnam? The only reason the term "Greatest Generation" came about is because propaganda organ, Tom Brokaw wrote and promoted his book.

Salute to your dad as well. Not as many Americans like him today, it is a shame and a concern.

your father is a great man, I would love to be able to sit down with a man of his caliber and listen to the stories he would be willing to pass on. you are a lucky man!!

John, if you are near the Champaign, Il area and would like to talk to him, I can probably arrange it. He loves coffee out, early in the morning.

I Don't Know It is indeed.

Thank you for the offer and I would surely take you up on that if I am ever in the area unfortunately I am in the Jacksonville Florida area and do not see any traveling in my future at least my immediate future lol

Jacque Coudare An entire generation of marines did that.

AMEN SIR! WE MUST NEVER FORGET!

Not so lucky lol. Look at society now. Back then most went to war so when they came home they wanted their home (america) to be a good place. Now people shoot strangers and kill them for fun or for a few $. Sick times. I wish i could have lived.in the 50s

And having allies like you

@d byko i know it's disgraceful how many antiamerican people are living in our country we need to send them packing

I think they dislike it probably because of the disrespectful person holding the manilla folder in front of this brave Marine's face. Pissed me off right away. I was like "Get that damn thing out of the man's face!!!!"

@@enlightenedwarrior7119 totally agree. These guys fought for their right to stay. And the Bill of Rights says they have the right to free speech, not the right to be offended. Damn snowflakes.

How was his trip Terry?

He had a great time. He forgot his cane, but did fine without it. He loved everything but the prices of coffee and rolls. Be bitched and swore about 9.00 for coffee and a roll for breakfast. To give you an idea about him. He took 200.00 with him on the trip and he brought some home. He fractured his hip in November 2014. He was working at his job and hit the ice. As you know he recovered and went on to take the trip. Since that time, the appliance malfunctioned and was replaced in October. The replacement would not remain in socket and came out 3 times. He had a new one put in this past Monday and is doing fine. Thanks for asking. He is a Marine, for sure.

see above Caahacky

Ok thanks. Fascinating to think of him seeking out the locations of his actions/memories.

Meshak - Feel very privileged to hear his story. I'm thankful for men like him. I never got my grandfather's stories & wished I had.

I could listen to him talk all day

Unfortunately for some of us, alchahol was our only solace after witnessing such. It was never a permanent solace and had to be replenished often. Sadly but honestly it took its' toll too. It took many years for me to realize and come to the understanding that i simply had to live with what i had lived thru and accept the fact that it was my responsibility to overcome these memories and issues and not depend on the VA and others. I finally returned to the world in 1985. Semper Fi

what war did you serve in if I may ask?

Vietnam. force recon as it was called not for sure as memories fade but think i am correct. I was very ugly at times Memories, alcohol, and other drugs have destroyed my reculectioms. It was dificut to see & do what we did and suvive with tht knowledge. thank you for your intrest & forgive my memory

i intended to say it was very ugly at times.

david graszak I see this comment everywhere. It's bullshit.

It's the sad thing, they were the generation that kept it quiet in the 50's and 60's. Whole families that never heard of what their grandfathers did during the war.

P.S. Thanks for posting this,may his family pass this down through the generations.He still looks young to me !

Marine. Thanks for the Love, Semper Fi....

I felt privileged to have heard his story.

Rick. Send your phone number in a DM and I believe I can arrange that.

He's still alive and living in Champaign, Il., alone in his own apartment. He just spent a month with me in Florida. He'll be 96 in October.

And definitely NOT sports uniforms.
