Sir. You and every veteran have my complete respect and appreciation we all owe all of our veterans a debt that we could never repay so thank you from the bottom of my heart.
@@mikerobinson1194 nice
Had the honor of meeting him many times and I wish that everyone could have had this honor because he was just one of the guys but yet a leader.
All accounts of his life that I've read seem to agree with you. Thank you for listening!
I had the Honor of meeting this man in Holland, MI.. He was humble with no pretense about him. I thanked him for his service as I shook his hand, he smiled and said "you are welcome".
That's awesome. I wish I had the same opportunity.
@@DutyandValor bro is him
Great American hero. I salute you sir!!
His was the first story I told on the podcast. I couldn’t believe that it took so long for him to be honored properly.
@Duty & Valor: Stories of Courage and Sacrifice Its sad that it took USMIL so long but it's the nature of the beast unfortunately.
Much respect LT/C.
Thank you for listening to his story!
My stepfather's best friend. My stepfather saved his life. Matt said he earned more medals than Audie Murphy.
I just found your channel today. I love these stories about America’s greatest Heroes. Thank you so much for bringing their incredible stories to light!
Thank you for listening to the shows. As a veteran, I still didn't know about many of these men. That's why I felt a need to tell their stories.
I met him once what a hero!
That's awesome! I wish I could have had the chance to meet him as well.
@@DutyandValor he is a goat
Excellent review of an incredible american
Thank you! His story is the inspiration for this channel.
7 "I forgot to duck" Medals is very impressive in itself.
I agree. Thanks for listening!
;@@DutyandValor; It was My Pleasure
DON'T MOCK THE PURPLE HEART SCUMBAG!!!
This is so good, wow.
Thank you for listening!
@@DutyandValor great story
What a contrast between heroes. LTC Urban sustained so many horrific injuries during his time in combat whereas Audie Murphy seemed to live acharmed life by comparison.
I agree. LTC Urban is nearly forgotten, which is a shame for how much he sacrificed. His story was one of the main inspirations for this show. I wanted to share these hero’s stories to the best of my ability.
I learned a lot at New York military academy😊 a mention the guy called the Ghost during lectures about,,battles of WW2
But nothing like this thank you for sharing that❤
Yeah, his story is amazing. Thank you!
@@DutyandValor legend
Dude they could make a movie on this guy!!!
I agree. His story was the inspiration for my podcast, and the first one I put. Thank you for listening to his story!
wow
His story is an amazing one. Thank you for listening!
@@DutyandValor nice
THIS EXACT BMEDAL OF HONOR PICTURE HANGS IN THE VA HOSPITAL IN BUFFALO NY
HIS NAME WZAS URANOWITZ POLISH SO WHY DO HIDE IT!
He, Matthew Urbanowitz, changed it to Urban, not the podcast. It’s a very well known part of his life.
Wow!
