Thomas Harvey Semper Fi! If he doesn't have a book about his life one needs written. An audio book read by him would be outstanding. Still a hardcharger to this day.
Joe King thanks a bunch. And thank you for your service Sir. My uncle wrote this book. He is active at 94 years old. He in fact drove from a veterans facility in Arizona, where 'Cobber' who he mentions in the podcast repeatedly, to my house in Andrews, Texas in a day. He still travels to speak at memorial and veterans day engagements. We are jocko enthusiasts. Quite an honor for our family. We are so proud of him and the way he leads his life and still gets after it.
Thomas Harvey they need to get all these guys together and do and Extreme Ownership book for these younger generations. Their thoughts on things today would be good to hear.
You have a lot to be proud of. It is great that you honor him as he honors his country and the Marine Corp. We are able to do many great things these days because of the hard work men like your uncle and his colleagues did.
Jocko and Echo, please interview more World War Two veterans. Time is fleeting and their stories are so valuable. Thank you for these stories. Edit: Thank you
My uncle T. Fred Harvey passed away yesterday evening at the VA in San Antonio. US World War II Veterans advocate Liberty Phillips and family members were at his side. 98 years of loving this country and serving it anyway he could. We are so proud of him. He was and is the hero in our family.
and now we're back in darkness .howabout that. wgere does this darkness originate from? who's turning out the lights? who gives the order that causes good men to die on all sides so a few can profit from their misery? take a look.
I met a World War II vet when I was having my tires changed and then sat there while he had his changed and listen to stories that he would tell me about being in Belgium two months after D-Day and shooting 2 German soldiers there was no way I was going to stop listening as long as he was talkin incredible honor and incredible stories WW2
T. Fred Harvey is amazing! I met him in person a few years ago. We got to talking and realized we were both veterans. He kept me company and sat with me while I was waiting to hear how my mother was doing. Amazing man!! Great at storytelling and kept me hooked for hours while my mother underwent brain surgery. He is an amazing soldier, man, and human being! Amazing man! He even graced me with a signed copy of his book! I was blessed with his presence when I needed someone. I couldn’t have met him at a better time. Thank you sir once again and forevermore for your service, kindness, and your humanity! Thank you for being there for me in my time of need as well.
Thank you so much for getting ww2 guys on. I want to listen to ww1 guys but they're all gone. You may not realize it but you're recording history. This is one of the few channels im truly proud to be subscribed to.
shit jocko LIVED history, the way that marcus latrell talks about him is legendary. and i mean holy shit, this is marcus latrell were talking about. beast ass frog man
My god the stories the ww1 vets might've been able to tell with a platform like youtube and the internet today. So sad we just missed that generation. Im glad i can get more info on WW2 and especially Vietnam with the current guys. Awesome stuff

I go to dyalisis 3 times a week. Thanks to podcasts like this and Joe the nurse has to drag me back to reality because I am lost in listening. Wasn't like this when I began the treatment many years ago.
I realize this video is 2 years old when I write this. That’s a lot of information for an old man to remember. He did a pretty good job. And my hat’s off to Jocko for showing such patience and letting him tell his story. A true gentleman.
This is such a treat to listen to his experiences. Iconic Really! Bless you sir for your service to America when America really meant something! Fighting for our freedom!!! A blessed treasure! RIP Fred We appreciate you!
Thank you Jocko for giving men like T. Fred Harvey a place to tell their story. This is our history and it is so important for it to be told and preserved. These men were truly part of the Greatest Generation. Listening to Mr. Harvey reminds me of when my grandfather used to tell me stories about his actions in WWII. I only wish I had thought to record my grandfather's story so I could listen to them now. Thanks Jocko and thank you Mr. Harvey.
@@lpe655 Can you send me some links or sources to back up that claim , that high school teachers were teaching students, " communist propaganda " ? I am neither agreeing nor disagreeing with your statement , just curious and interested in seeing some sources for what you said.
The Greatest Generation! I'm Watching this on 4-28-22. I look up T.Fred Harvey & see that on Wednesday, January 5, 2022 he passed at 98yrs old. Jocko getting choked up at 3:18:18 says everything you could about T.Fred. What a amazing man & Patriot! Sir,Thank you for your service! 🇺🇸
I still can't believe young women join the military especially infantry. The one's I've met all my life are bat shit crazy, foul mouth feminists, or really very chill without a shred of aggression 👩🔧🇺🇲 I could be wrong, don't have any examples lol
@@tvolpe3432 I meant I have no combat examples and that I could be wrong. On a different topic I'll add that because America won't wage total war, the world is ironically closer to total war and the only difference between people will be who died first and who died last 👩🔧🇺🇲🛠️🇷🇺
Just want you to know your podcasts are a part of my everyday routine and they are truly inspirational. They can really light a fire under my ass when needed! I appreciate your work and thank you for your service!
Thank you for your service. Both my grandfathers served. One was in the 4th Marine Division 25th infantry regiment in WW2. He made 4 beach landings in the South Pacific including Iwo Jima and Saipan in the 2nd wave. Proud marine. God bless!
Walking, talking military history book. This man is so awesome. Has lived a very full and exciting life. I can't imagine all the things he's seen in our history that we only hear or read about now. Great podcast Jocko!
Man it's an absolute treat to be able to listen to that man's stories. Thank you, Jocko, for allowing him to tell his stories without interrupting him like so many other so called "professional" interviewers have done in the past! My grandpa was an aircraft mechanic during ww2, sometimes I'll do exactly what you did here...ask him a question or bring up a certain time in the war and let him ramble on for hours.
What an honor to speak to that soldier. My grandfather went up the Burma road & worked w/naval intelligence to break JN25 the Japanese naval code. And w Chan Ki Shek (unsure of spelling) china's leader's army intelligence amongst the flying tigers for a short time earning a bronze star. He passed when i was 7 never getting to talk about his time there. He spoke little of it, I never got to tell him how proud I was. He would only say " in the war kido" when I'd watch him wrap his leg till his last day from an injury that affected him the rest of his life. Miss you grandpa.
Walk well in our Father's arms and with all in your Heavenly Glory. We all love and miss the love and wisdom of older comrades. I have not anything to give you but a heartfelt thank you. You are a treasure to The Marines, a wonderful soul.
Thank you T. Fred Harvey ! You did a mans job sir. Sharing your story sheds light on the sacrifice and loss your generation experienced to allow future generations to live in freedom. The hunger you and your family endured is unbelievable. Simple pleasures such as toilet paper are so taken for granted in modern times let alone food to eat daily....... Before people ever give in to complaining about "hardship", they need to check this podcast. The young generations do not know what that word means. Grateful to Mr. Harvey for taking the time to share his story ...... Thank you Jocko, thank you Echo .....
Spent my childhood at the VFW listening to stories from ww1 vets to desert storm vets. Priceless knowledge and experiences. This took me back and I'm listening like am eager 9 yr old all over again. Thank you for that, and for everything else you all have done.
Of course he didn't, it was his duty. And proud to do so. They don't teach us to be so proud these days, these young men and women think their freedom is free.
i was listening to this at work and honestly, it wasn't the heroism in battle that got me choked up. it was Harvey's reverence for his mother. Absolutely beautiful.
Thank you for interviewing this brave man. I always enjoy your interviews. I am so thankful for courageous warriors who continue to protect the human rights and freedoms we enjoy in this great country. T. Fred Harvey is such a wonderful example of humble courage.
All those who died wearing the flags of the US, UK, Canada, France, Soviet Union & many others fought a war that shaped our world into a better place. It was indeed a different time and a different war in which we will not truly understand and appreciate. This coming from a guy who proudly wore the Union Jack for 6 years. Keep it up Jocko, you are doing a much-appreciated service with your motivational videos in a time where our countries are so internally divided.
Thank you Jocko. I never served (blind eye) but wish I did, and even more so now. I tell everyone about you and the work you do, and I see a future that's greater for you than your past. Keep going. I will be here waiting. I'm so proud I live in the greatest country in history.
Thank you for getting these veterans on the podcast 127, 126 and 125. I love hearing these man's stories which should be preserved for the future generations. Very few WW2 vets are still alive and we can't forget history, because it will repeat itself. Thank you.
I have listened to a thousand podcasts! But, Jocko and Echo and your guests are true American Treasures! The Blood and Sacrifice and Humor that is told in these American Treasure stories. I can’t quit listening and the best thing that this podcast offers is these stories need to be heard by every American. Thank You, for your Service and everything your guests have done for our Great Country!
These sorts of interviews are important now more than ever. Harvey is 97-years-old; people don't realize that there are actually few WWII combat vets left. In ten, twenty years' time, the voices of that generation will be gone forever. The current generation needs the wisdom of courage of people like Harvey and podcasts like these are essential to preserving their voices.
Every time Mr. Harvey talks about his mother in any way I just choke up and get a little bit teary. What a great son to have and a mother too. God bless this man
I’m a Canadian in 1998 I travelled to Holland to visit friends and we did a lot of hiking everywhere I went people would say to me how great the Canadian army warriors were and my beer or whatever was on the house everywhere we went I was not very knowledgeable about the war but I couldn’t ignore their gratitude and when I got home I did my research and found out the history ..all these guys that served Canadians Americans all are true hero’s and thank you for your bringing these guys on and hearing their stories its an honour and thank you for your service
What a fascinating interview! Really great. Three cheers for our patriot warriors of the military!!! God bless you all and thank you so much for all you've done for us !!
Thanks for letting Fred speak. The Marine Corps need no better recruiting tool than this podcast. God bless Fred and all the brave men who fought and sacrificed so much
Mr. Harvey's stories remind me of visiting with my great grandparents when I was young. I was blessed enough to have 7 living when I was born and we didn't get very long to know each other but I miss them all. The Greatest Generation was tempered like none other.
My Great grandfather served in WWII on the USS Benevolence. He never once spoke of the the tales and tribulations he faced. Listening to this hero brought tears to my eyes thinking of all the men and women fighting to survive amongst the times. Thank you Jocko. These veteran interviews have been amazing to listen to!
I've heard a few Jocko podcasts but, this is the one that made me subscribe within the first 10mins. @7:50 I almost shed a tear, so proud of you Fred Harvey and thank you for your service.
I am a Navy Veteran and also from Odessa, Tx and heard stories about T. Fred Harvey. I listen to your podcast daily Jocko, thank you for your service and having all these amazing heroes on here.
I am just enamored with these podcasts. Jocko, what you are doing here is truly compelling, genuine and brilliant. I just have to say there is something truly beautiful and meaningful in how you guys are chronicling the life stories of our nation's heros in a special way that gives them the honor and dignity they much deserve. Bravo!! Bravo!!! This is as American as apple pie and I simply love it!! Thank you for your service!!
The stories of American patriots of ww2 are so very important to record so future generations can get a pov perspective of the sacrifice that has been made by men greater then myself. We must not take for granted what these men have done. God bless
My family and I met Fred in Fredericksburg Texas while eating breakfast at The Old German Bakery. He is an awesome human being. Fred gave my father an autographed copy of his book and my dad asked if he would come speak to his class at Fredericksburg high school. Of course Fred agreed. I don’t think it’s happened yet though. My dad is also a veteran, 28 years in the Navy and two tours in Afghanistan. Super appreciative of the men and women who sacrifice their lives to protect our beautiful country.
I could listen to men like him talk forever. I really wish that they'd been given a similar platform in their younger days. What I wouldn't give to have an archive filled with the tales of men like Mr Harvey.
Jocko, thank God you are getting these guys. My Papp was in the Invasion of Normandy and I miss him. He was a man's man by any measure but he was my Papp and seeing these guys being interviewed just reminds me of the type of man my Papp was. History. Thank you.
My Grandfather fought in the Amphibious forces in WW2 and Korea, Island hopping. He passed away when I was young. Hearing this makes me think of him and the few stories my father told me he heard. Wish I could talk to him now that I’m older. Thank you for this, Jocko!
I am watching every one of your podcasts from the latest to the earliest and man this was the best one IMHO the things our forefathers had to do for us all to live is incredible. Thank you to all the men and women who have and are serving.
My hats off to you Jocko for having Mr. Harvey on your show! this old timer has seen and been through it all and even with the person they're helping him with his memories, it is a real blessing hearing him tell of his escapades in WW2! there isn't many left from that time but I never get tired of hearing their stories! Thanks again for having this soldier on to share!
I’m a Corpsman that just got out, And I’m from the hometown of a Corpsman that won the Medal of Honor, so I’ve always been obsessed with the history of Corpsman and marines, so this was a great watch
Wow what a message. What a hero, and a great example. He didn't come home with a tattoo but he did earn some decorations along the way. Thank You for your story and your sacrifices, sir!!
First-person primary sourced history. Best way to cut past all the bullshit veil of propaganda, revisionist history and people with agendas. Regardless of whether one agrees with war or not these podcasts with vets are gems in an ocean of mud.
That was amazing,i listen to these pod casts at work all day,to someone like me.these storys are just incredible,the bravery in the face of absolute danger is out of this world.i cant state how much i admire these men

Thank you for getting these veterans on the podcast 127, 126 and 125. I love hearing these man's stories which should be preserved for the future generations. Very few WW2 vets are still alive and we can't forget history, because it will repeat itself. Thank you.
I never cried and laughed at the same time . Thank you for this .
my wife just came in and asked me what's wrong.. with tears in my eyes I answered her " listening to a great story
This guy's mom is a legend in her own right.
I thought the exact same thing.

I have listened to a thousand podcasts! But, Jocko and Echo and your guests are true American Treasures! The Blood and Sacrifice and Humor that is told in these American Treasure stories.
I can’t quit listening and the best thing that this podcast offers is these stories need to be heard by every American.
Thank You, for your Service and everything your guests have done for our Great Country!
These sorts of interviews are important now more than ever. Harvey is 97-years-old; people don't realize that there are actually few WWII combat vets left. In ten, twenty years' time, the voices of that generation will be gone forever. The current generation needs the wisdom of courage of people like Harvey and podcasts like these are essential to preserving their voices.
Try more like 5 years. Your average korean war vet is in their late 80s. Pretty much all of the WWII guys left are in their 90s now.
@@Hatchet_Wound Fred passed away in Jan of this year
@@dm1972 damn it. That sucks so much. What a life, though!
Every time Mr. Harvey talks about his mother in any way I just choke up and get a little bit teary. What a great son to have and a mother too. God bless this man
I’m a Canadian in 1998 I travelled to Holland to visit friends and we did a lot of hiking everywhere I went people would say to me how great the Canadian army warriors were and my beer or whatever was on the house everywhere we went I was not very knowledgeable about the war but I couldn’t ignore their gratitude and when I got home I did my research and found out the history ..all these guys that served Canadians Americans all are true hero’s and thank you for your bringing these guys on and hearing their stories its an honour and thank you for your service
What a fascinating interview! Really great. Three cheers for our patriot warriors of the military!!! God bless you all and thank you so much for all you've done for us !!
Just think about how different our lives would be without people like this!
*They Made America Great!*
Thanks for letting Fred speak. The Marine Corps need no better recruiting tool than this podcast.
God bless Fred and all the brave men who fought and sacrificed so much
I can not imagine THE HELL THIS MAN AND HIS BROTHERS SOW BACK THEN!!
Can only give them all my upmost respect and love!!!
God bless them all.
True American hero. Thank you and all who served.
Such an incredible hero! WWII vets are a disappearing treasure. Could listen to him endlessly.
Mr. Harvey's stories remind me of visiting with my great grandparents when I was young. I was blessed enough to have 7 living when I was born and we didn't get very long to know each other but I miss them all. The Greatest Generation was tempered like none other.
This is a great man. Thank you Jocko for bringing Mr. Harvey USMC to all of us.
Greatest Generation in full display, what a mans man...nothing but respect...for this Hero...
My Great grandfather served in WWII on the USS Benevolence. He never once spoke of the the tales and tribulations he faced. Listening to this hero brought tears to my eyes thinking of all the men and women fighting to survive amongst the times. Thank you Jocko. These veteran interviews have been amazing to listen to!
I've heard a few Jocko podcasts but, this is the one that made me subscribe within the first 10mins. @7:50 I almost shed a tear, so proud of you Fred Harvey and thank you for your service.
Heroic Marine tells his WW2. Thank you for your Service !!
he's a hard man through and through
I am a Navy Veteran and also from Odessa, Tx and heard stories about T. Fred Harvey. I listen to your podcast daily Jocko, thank you for your service and having all these amazing heroes on here.
On behalf of a grateful nation, thank you, gentlemen!
Wow I’m so fortunate to have listened to this warrior share his story thank you sir
Jocko you're a great listener,with patience and respect.Echo too.Great interview.Thanks
Thank you so much for bringing ww2 vets on so that their stories live forever.
I am just enamored with these podcasts. Jocko, what you are doing here is truly compelling, genuine and brilliant. I just have to say there is something truly beautiful and meaningful in how you guys are chronicling the life stories of our nation's heros in a special way that gives them the honor and dignity they much deserve. Bravo!! Bravo!!! This is as American as apple pie and I simply love it!! Thank you for your service!!
As soon as he spoke, I knew a fellow Texan was here. God bless this man from the only place that matters. I said it!
To hear a man say he chose to sit on a grenade brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for your service from Australia. A true hero......
The stories of American patriots of ww2 are so very important to record so future generations can get a pov perspective of the sacrifice that has been made by men greater then myself. We must not take for granted what these men have done. God bless
I agree but think it may be to late! We'll find out soon enough
My family and I met Fred in Fredericksburg Texas while eating breakfast at The Old German Bakery. He is an awesome human being. Fred gave my father an autographed copy of his book and my dad asked if he would come speak to his class at Fredericksburg high school. Of course Fred agreed. I don’t think it’s happened yet though. My dad is also a veteran, 28 years in the Navy and two tours in Afghanistan. Super appreciative of the men and women who sacrifice their lives to protect our beautiful country.
This guy is still sharp as a tack. What an amazing life.
One of the best podcasts I've ever listened to!
Listing to these great men talk is great. We need these stories. They need to be recorded. Thank you.
Semper Fi Devil Dog. Once a Marine always a Marine, indeed. Thank you for your service - an amazing story.
I could listen to men like him talk forever. I really wish that they'd been given a similar platform in their younger days. What I wouldn't give to have an archive filled with the tales of men like Mr Harvey.
"Don't come home a coward." Such powerful words coming from his mother.
It took a lot for these moms to send there baby’s over there. But they were damned if they weren’t going there to kick some serious ass
This is one of my favorite ones I've heard so far I could listen to Mr. Fred all day
Jocko, thank God you are getting these guys. My Papp was in the Invasion of Normandy and I miss him. He was a man's man by any measure but he was my Papp and seeing these guys being interviewed just reminds me of the type of man my Papp was. History. Thank you.
My Grandfather fought in the Amphibious forces in WW2 and Korea, Island hopping. He passed away when I was young. Hearing this makes me think of him and the few stories my father told me he heard. Wish I could talk to him now that I’m older. Thank you for this, Jocko!
I could sit and listen to these old vets for hours, like a little kid. Sadly a dying breed.
I am watching every one of your podcasts from the latest to the earliest and man this was the best one IMHO the things our forefathers had to do for us all to live is incredible. Thank you to all the men and women who have and are serving.
its like hearing war stories from my grandpa
One of the most badass guys in history what a crazy fucken hero god bless him
My hats off to you Jocko for having Mr. Harvey on your show! this old timer has seen and been through it all and even with the person they're helping him with his memories, it is a real blessing hearing him tell of his escapades in WW2! there isn't many left from that time but I never get tired of hearing their stories! Thanks again for having this soldier on to share!
I’m a Corpsman that just got out, And I’m from the hometown of a Corpsman that won the Medal of Honor, so I’ve always been obsessed with the history of Corpsman and marines, so this was a great watch
If echo gets any bigger you going to need a bigger room
I hope I can find a friend like Cobber some day, that's a good friend, a true friend, a real friend.
Thank you Mr Fred Harvey jocko and everyone else for all you do for us! Much love from an army 11c!
Great Job, they don't make them like that anymore, what an amazing person T. Fred Harvey. excellent Podcast sir.
Living history right there, he and men like him are what made this country what it is today. A life well lived, Semper Fi Mr Harvey.
This was one of the best podcasts I've heard. Thank you, Mr. Harvey. Hand salute! Thank you, Jocko, for a great interview.
Wow what a message. What a hero, and a great example. He didn't come home with a tattoo but he did earn some decorations along the way. Thank You for your story and your sacrifices, sir!!
Incredible! Thank you for this history lesson from a first person point of view
First-person primary sourced history. Best way to cut past all the bullshit veil of propaganda, revisionist history and people with agendas. Regardless of whether one agrees with war or not these podcasts with vets are gems in an ocean of mud.
I can listen to people like this all day. There is not many left today
Let us never forget.
Listening to this war hero is very humbling and makes me realize how good I have it made thanks to men like him and so many more !
That was amazing,i listen to these pod casts at work all day,to someone like me.these storys are just incredible,the bravery in the face of absolute danger is out of this world.i cant state how much i admire these men
