What a great interview, he’s so sharp I could listen to him all day! Real shame men like this are disappearing our country would be much better off if they were still around.
Waiting for the video where Roy talks about his time as a detective with the Los Angeles Police Department’s Administrative Vice Squad, after the war.
Yeah, they should follow up on that. I'd be really interested to hear about that.
The irony of Roy landing on "Roi"-Namur for his first combat experience. Great interview! Thanks.
I love these vids of WW2 vets...they were standup guys,patriotic, incredibly brave without the hangups that are all too common these days. 🇺🇸👍 🥉
Please Have This Guy Back On Again, Just To Check In On Him.! One Of The Best Interviews Ever.!!
Good man. Thanks for serving and enabling me to have a great life since '69.
Thank you Roy for being such a great patriot with a sense of duty,that is all too uncommon today.
These men are a national treasure,my heart is sad that they are all leaving us, but as the old poem goes,"and when he goes to heaven,Saint Peter he will tell, another marine reporting sir I've served my time in hell."
I think I'm going to check myself out with them, soon. America isn't for me. I dont recognize it anymore. I'd rather pass away with these great men.
4 landings ! Wow
A GREAT AMERICAN!
48:00 Marines impersonating sailors to get extra chow is the most Marine thing I've heard. Hearing this man's stories from the service makes me cherish my mischievous episodes w my buddies in the Corps.
Fantastic life for a fantastic man!
I enjoyed this very much. Thank you.
This is awesome!
Very entertaining interview. I got a kick out all the laughs.
Thank you sir for my freedom and for sharing your story
Great interview!
What a great interview this guy is such a live wire of history. Great light sense of humour 😂❤🎉.
This man is a gem. What a wonderful person.
My dad was on Iwo Jima, and he had _'a nose'_ for picking out other Marines. Once he found them, young or old, he would talk their ear off for hours if allowed the time (which was usually the case).
Whay a great man. Starts it right off wiith a joke.
