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.
This man is the definition of an American hero…you were lucky to have such an incredible human as an uncle
RIP Mr. Harvey. What an American treasure. God bless
RIP, Semper Fi! Our nation needs men like his so desperately today. God bless him, God bless America.
What an incredible human sorry for your loss!
God bless your family. A true American here and a class act.
Very proud of my uncle T. Fred Harvey and his service to the country I love. Proud Marine. Proud American. Proud Comanche Indian.
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.
Thanks a bunch. I think he would enjoy that comment. I will try to get him to read some of them.
Shout out to jocko for letting this man just talk
He was just as intrigued as the rest of us that watched lol such a privilege to listen to him talk
These are the men that saved the world from darkness. Thank you Jocko. They need to be known by the youth of the world.
At least we aren’t speaking German... amirite...
Well said
@@dixztube your sentence makes no sense
im here dont worry
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.
He needed a pistol for the war, won money in a card game, and bought one...this man is legend...
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
Benjamin Allman I second that request! I know two of them. One lives in Manchester, NH and the other lives in Faith, NC
🙌🙏👏
Yes sir, and Vietnam vets as well.
Second that.

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.
If he would interrupted thatd be horrible disrespect
And that is why Jocko is the best interviewer on the net. This was a great WWII story.
That's one hell of a woman and mother. To drive 36 hours to bring her son a pistol. God bless her!
Sit in a bus for 36 hours
@@bingobam2569 Don't think he was meaning the bus was easier.
@@toddhellyar4167 no it’s definitely worse.
My thoughts exactly.
@@toddhellyar4167 yocyiyi
I still dont understand how these chairs can handle the size of the balls in that room every episode..
Hahaha, so true
Jokko probably has them made in America
How doesn’t the floor cave in??? I heard they didn’t even have to get up to piss there dck just finds the toilet for them
word on the street is they had to pour two layers of concrete.
Damn right. UUUGGGGEEEEE.
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.
So great to see our young Americans appreciate our elders. Gives me hope for our youth!
Truth!
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
@@koltred 100%, and who better than Jocko to interview and record all of this history? it's like a god damn movie
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
There will never be another generation like this one. Ever.
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
@@craftpaint1644 2 women graduated ranger school and completed it all with the men’s standards.
@@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 👩🔧🇺🇲🛠️🇷🇺
@@tvolpe3432 Sure. Sure they did.
@@tvolpe3432 nope. Not true at all. They lowered the standards.
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
Rip Sir this episode hit really hard especially at the end knowing you passed on. Thank you for your service

@Just some girl without a mustache • 10 years ago hhhhh
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.
Angela, thank you for your Service and I hope your Mother’s surgery went well.
Kind regards,
Jeff
One of the greatest marines of all time.
God bless you and your mother, Amen!
Hes a Marine, not a soldier. Carry on.
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.
Be well 🙏✊
Now this ladies and gentlemen is a real man! The greatest generation!!
What an incredible American. Thank 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.
This is what they should teach in high school history class NOT the communist propaganda they teach today.
@@lpe655 I agree
@@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.
I never cried and laughed at the same time . Thank you for this .
he's a hard man through and through
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! 🇺🇸
@2:29.00. Every student and NFL player should listen to this clip if they don’t understand what our flag means 🇺🇸. God bless you Marine Harvey.
its like hearing war stories from my grandpa
Let us never forget.
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!
Leighton Kane he needs an audiobook of his life...read by himself
joe king exactly. Even hearing how his mom got the pistol for him because the army had none left lol. Crazy times back then
Like sliced bread or sliced cheese.
Haha jk I agree with you 💯 the stories and things they’ve done and seen. I love talking with older folks
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!
You're welcome.
I read this 4 yrs after the interview and was blown away by the men of the greatest generation so proud
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!
My dad was hungry all the time during the Great Depression. This podcast was fantastic.
My mother's father died during WW2 and my father's dad took his own life when I was just a new born. It is indeed like listening to your grandpa.
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 .....
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!
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.
It is such a honor to listen to this warrior speak and share his stories.
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.
We need this generation right now
If echo gets any bigger you going to need a bigger room
Heroic Marine tells his WW2. Thank you for your Service !!
This man is part of the old breed, whose legacy we will always strive to live up to. Semper Fi
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.
This guy is still sharp as a tack. What an amazing life.
"I'll eat a sandwich but I don't drink beer."
Never mind his service, what a writer!
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 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.
"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
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
T.Fred Harvey is harder then woodpecker lips.
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!
I hope I can find a friend like Cobber some day, that's a good friend, a true friend, a real friend.
This is a great man. Thank you Jocko for bringing Mr. Harvey USMC to all of us.
This is one of my favorite podcast ever.. you can truly tell he enjoyed it, never complained. True hero
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.
Semper Fi Devil Dog. Once a Marine always a Marine, indeed. Thank you for your service - an amazing story.
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.
Fred and Jocko two diff generations of soldier’s. Fighting in unison to defending our liberties.
Thank you
Such an incredible hero! WWII vets are a disappearing treasure. Could listen to him endlessly.
On behalf of a grateful nation, thank you, gentlemen!
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.
One of the most badass guys in history what a crazy fucken hero god bless him
What a absolute hero. Every child needs to learn this type of stuff because this is history.
Just think about how different our lives would be without people like this!
*They Made America Great!*
Jocko you're a great listener,with patience and respect.Echo too.Great interview.Thanks
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.
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
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.
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.
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
One of the best podcasts I've ever listened to!
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.
Wow I’m so fortunate to have listened to this warrior share his story thank you sir
37 Mescalero Apaches down voted this epic video. Damn it, a Comanche warrior just can't catch a break!
True American hero. Thank you and all who served.
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.
4 hours! Yes!!!🙌!! Thank you!
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.
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

Amazing man! That was a brilliant experience! Also gold hearing Jocko's impression of caffeine jitters! Hilarious!
Thank you so much for bringing ww2 vets on so that their stories live forever.
This was one of the best podcasts I've heard. Thank you, Mr. Harvey. Hand salute! Thank you, Jocko, for a great interview.
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 !!
I so much like listening to these men from the Greatest Generation of Americans. The stories are the best, this generation has set the example of true sacrifice for all Americans to fallow!!!!
Greatest Generation in full display, what a mans man...nothing but respect...for this Hero...
Helps the nights go by fast. Working nights is awesome when there is good shit to listen to.
The patients, of Jocko interviewing and laughing as well as asking questions to Mr Harvey shows the real character of Jocko! Amazing Podcast!
these podcasts are so special, especially from veterans from the greatest generation, thank you T. Fred Harvey and thank you Jocko Willink
This old gentleman has brass balls and I would still be proud to stand next to him I battle!
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!
Listing to these great men talk is great. We need these stories. They need to be recorded. Thank you.
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 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!
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.
Great Job, they don't make them like that anymore, what an amazing person T. Fred Harvey. excellent Podcast sir.
T. Fred Harvey, is a STUD! They don't build guys like this anymore! I love his Generation! True American Hero's... I wish all the "millineals" that I work with actually knew and understood the sacrifice this Generation made for all us to enjoy the Freedoms we have today... Just like how our Military today stands up to protect us..
Justin Watts they won’t know until they are forced to fight and defend. Bunch of sensitive men and woman.
Great Uncle died on Iwo. don’t know much other than that. Proud to have had Family members in the Marines and ones that took part in such events. 🇺🇸
Thank you! Sir! I wish there were more men like you!
I love this veteran!! Thanks for the podcast
