Great interview. Very interesting. Thanks for your service. My Dad's Battalion landed on Utah Beach, he came in on Omaha Beach. He refused to talk about it much until I finally convinced him to return to Europe in 1994. Took several years and several trips, but we retracted his journey from Normandy to near Leipzig, Germany at the end of the war. Those trips finally got him to talk, and he answered questions I had been asking for over 30 years. Probably getting him to retrace his time in combat was the greatest experience we had together. That's saying a lot, we had decades of other great times together.
These men deserve our utmost respect for the balance of their lives. We tend to take this relatively cushy way of life in the west for granted. We shouldn’t. Thank you sir!
He was who they liked as a Sapper demolitions combat ground GI: (In this case, the Naval Amphibious Invasion Landing Rating): Compact, quick on his legs and feet, do-not-ponder nor pause, athletic, brave, trained and knowledgeable, high scores in his Rating (MOS) ; aced his test, ready and dedicated and just knew how ro do what he was tasked to do. These are the Guys who did it. Let us remember alas, that he says he prays that there will be *no* *more* *war*
15:31. 15:36 *15:40* ... *16:05* The man was his *good* *friend* ; "When I'm married I want you to be *my* *best* *man* " 16:35....... I wiped it out of my mind. I *didn't* *want* *to* *remember* .
God Bless You. The Greatest Generation We can never Thank Enough for the Freedoms of so Many, and Future Generations. And the unending Generosity to share Your Stories. Thank You.
This man was the Hero of that day on the Utah beach at Normandy. One of the Frogman pioneers, the frogman who landed on beach before anyone in DDay. Eisenhower appreciated him by shaking his hand during he salute Eisenhower, I don't know what kind of ceremony it was, but it must have been a big event and Eisenhower told his granddaughter about him, this man was famous at that time, I think there must be a reason behind it. It's quite difficult to dig out moments of heroism from him because what we call the heroic actions of this frogman, such as shooting enemies, exploding pillboxes, detonating mines, are all the scariest moments of World War 2 that he didn't want to remember anymore. One will always erase the scary moments in one's mind but one will always remember the happy moments in one's life. It's no wonder he still remembers the situations in Southern France and Japan where he didn't fire any bullets. This man was part of the contigency unit in World War 2. What I can get from this interview is: 1. He and his unit had blown up several mines on the beach. 2. Then his unit lands at the farmhouse, today it is a museum. 3. He and his unit had surveyed the landscape of the German perimeter because he said he saw railroad tracks (the German perimeter had railroad tracks behind the pillboxes), tanks (I think they were howitzers, he mistakenly called them tanks), the pillboxes and etc. I think he saw it behind the German perimeter. Then he saw the landing force come under heavy fire from the Germans, I think he saw it well behind the German perimeter. 4. As the landing force came under heavy fire, his unit command him to destroyed the German pillbox. 5. After he blew up the pillbox, He and his unit had finished off anyone who came out of the pillbox because he said that he saw the woundeds and people?(soldiers) coming out of the pillbox. He didn't want to remember the shooting part that killed the enemy running from the pillbox. 6. Then he and his unit had a massive firefight against the Germans around the perimeter, his friend was killed and he was shot. Then he woke up in the hospital the next morning. Correct me if I'm wrong about that. This man is a Hero.
I had a great uncle who was one of the GREATER GENERATION. He walked across Europe to fight the Nazi regime. He never spoke about his experience. I once asked if he was a war hero, and all that he said was that all the heroes had died. RIP Uncle Jim Walker. We all knew when he passed that he was our hero , among others.
It just makes me sick that these amazing men died for our freedom when the people today care about critical race theory and burn the flag. It angers me so much
One of the original Seals.
Being in both theaters of WW2 is kinda rare😮
R.I.P. to those that paid the ultimate price for our freedom.
Thank you for your service .

Geez, OG SEAL!😅
I thank God Almighty for men like him and all who fought in WW2 on the side of America, and the Allies, against Germany, Japan and the Axis Powers.
GOD. BLESS US SOLDIERS AND OUR ALLIES FOR SAVING THE WORLD AMEN 🙏
Sharp as a pin for his age when this was filned.
Why do these interviews sound as though the interviewer is yelling from the street below. Or like He is in the bottom of a deep echo chamber.
It sounds like Rishi is wearing a face mask in this one so is having to shout to make sure he can hear
would be intersecting to interview wives of vets and their husbands nightmares
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
