- From the NFL on FOX for Veterans Day weekend, a segment on former Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry and his service in World War II as a B-17 Pilot.
The Greatest Generation, was just that, the GREATEST ! There will NEVER be another generation like them as we ALL need to understand and appreciate them for what they did, not only for the USA but for the world. Appreciation to ALL of those in the military, past and present !
Looked up: masculinity, patriarchy, leader, fortitude, temperance in the dictionary; found a picture of Tom Landry
Great segment. Thanks for sharing. Brought a tear to my eye.
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💥
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 ruclips.net/video/cCb8khhGEqw/видео.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
Respect to Coach Landry. RIP
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.
Honors to your father Don, THE GREATEST GENERATION...PERIOD.
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.
The Greatest Generation was the BEST, and ALWAYS will be !
Coach Landry was a true hero ! America’s coach. Miss you
Absolutely Gina......
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.
