Surprised how much do yuo use that infra/visual split screen.. I switch between the IR and zoom using the C2 button..
Both techniques are legitimate. It really comes down to what feels best for the pilot.
Much obliged. My dad, Jesse ''Whitey'' Everhart, was a tank driver in the 2nd Armored Division from June 1944 until 1945, from Normandy to Berlin with the ''Bulge'' in between.
I’m honored to be connected to such men via the service of my own great-grandfather, Gen Brooks.

Beautiful place.
Great video, Ted, Thanks!
It’s pretty cool to hear his voice, there is a statue dedicated to Gen. Harmon at my college, and it’s Surreal to think that he and I both attended the same school (Norwich University) once upon a time
Excellent! My great-grandfather and namesake, Gen. Ted Brooks, was also Norwich, class of 1916.
Beautiful!
Nice! Little guy wasn’t too happy you found his hiding spot.
Great video!
Thank you!

Thanks for sharing this, it means alot to me to hear one of the voices that my Grandpa served under. His name is Staff Sargent Melvin Allen HQ Co 127 earned a Bronze Star.
Jay Albertz the pleasure is truly all mine. As Gen Ted Brooks’s namesake, the history and men of the 2nd Armored Division in WW2 are very dear to me. If you happen to be on Facebook, there is a great group called “2nd Armored Division / Benning to Berlin”. You can probably learn more about your grandfather’s service from the historians there.
Fascinating to hear his message. One can hear how he earned his nickname of Old Gravel Voice and hear his Massachusetts origins. His regard for the men under his command is evident in recalling the presents of a beer stein and a captured flag from regiments still in the field at the time he was promoted to Corps command. His reflection upon his postwar career is particularly insightful. Thank you for posting this. It gives dimension to a man whose reputation is only known to us history buffs as a listing of formidable military accomplishments.
Thank you for posting this. MG Harmon is my great grandfather and this is my first time hearing him speak.
So happy I could share this with you! We are cousins of a sort, as Ted Brooks was my great-grandfather! I was also struck by hearing his voice... Never realized as a child (I was 10 when he died) what a strong yankee accent he had!
My father was the basketball coach at Norwich University in the 1960’s, when General Harmon was the president there. I was baptized on campus in what became Harmon Chapel. My parents would go to faculty “teas” there. My father said everyone had tea cups, except General Harmon had brandy in his. My mother brought me to one social event as a very young infant. The general walked up to her and said, “get that baby Home and nurse him so he grows up as big as his dad (my father was a former professional basketball player who was 6’6, 250 pounds). My father always got a kick out of the General because he was a small man in stature but a huge man in presence. I went on to serve as an officer in the 2nd Armored Division. I had classes at Harmon Hall at Fort Knox. I think I can honestly say I am the only officer who served in the 2nd AD who was held as an infant by the tough old commander of the division from World War 2. A great man and soldier, you should be proud.
My father served in the 2nd AD (66th AR) and was Commandant at Norwich in the 60s. I remember Gen Harmon very well…even went fishing at his place on Lake Champlain several times. He was a hell of a guy! My siblings and I always got a kick out of being in his presence, because he was always saying stuff that we found outrageously funny. His voice in this recording sounds much clearer (and of course more G rated) than I remember. I recall him sounding exactly how his nickname “old gravel voice” would indicate. I can tell you that the man was always on time, like to the minute. Even to a social event, he was never late. If he was two minutes early he would circle the block a few time and arrive with military precision, exactly on time. He also drove like a madman! Somewhere I have a couple of pipes that belonged to him…his wife gave them to my father when he passed on.
May God be with you
U have the same last name as me
