This old hero is one helluva BAD ASS! Don't make em like this anymore! Thank you for your service sir! 🫡
This guy looks and acts just like my uncle who was in the army and served in New guinea and the phillipines.He lived to the age of 95,and passed away in 2004.What a character he was,and I truly miss him.
This guy is a hard core and real hero!
Amen.
Thank you so much for your service sir. It's a privilege to hear your story
Outstanding old MARINE
I lived in Okinawa because dad was in USAF. Beautiful country.
Some 1 said they wish they could be half the man he once was.....I say no u wish u were half the man he is now.
i bet he still fucks. for hours. my grandfather was in the pacific on a destroyer in ww2. he never talked about it much, because i was young. wish he was still around. had a cousin that was a MACVSOG guy in 'nam. he'd smoke him some crack & tell me some CRAZY shit.
his crack-smoking girlfriend ended up taking him out w/ a fuckin lamp one night........fighting over crack. lol. sad. he was a hell of a dude.
I really like this vet! Of all the interviews with the service men this has to be the best!!!
This video has special significance for me as my grandfather was in the 6th Marine Division. The last Marine division to be formed in WW2. The only US Marine Division to never set foot in the United States. Formed on Guadalcanal and service ending/disbanded in China after the war. Encourage you to search The Sixth Marine Division Association for more information.
Interesting
Thank you for your service. Unfortunately I could not hear the interviewers questions
Thank you for your service, sir!
Thank you for your service, courage and sacrifice ❤🇺🇸
My uncles worked in Beckley WV in the coal mines.Howard married a girl from charmco WV. named Patricia Ann Lockhart. Another uncle of mine married a gal also from Berkley WV. named Doris L. Hopkins. What a crew they were.My other other who were among my uncles,were all brothers. Jessie Clyde stover was captured at Normandy, then sent to dresden and was in the slaughter house 5 barracks.He and 2 others excaped,and walked for 3 days to American lines.There,they told the soldiers where the allied troops were.😊😊😊
Thank you Sir For defending your Country.. And Thank you GOD for for this Wonderful, Brave, MARINE!
I'm having deja Vu watching this I know I've seen this before that shirt how could you forget that shirt
God bless this wonderful man. America was built on the backs of men like this.
Thank you for your service you and others that severed with you will alwase be my and our heroes
This old dude has the best story I’ve heard about the war and I’ve watched dozens of them wow unbelievable this dude was business!!!!!
Thank you for your service sir ! My father Nicholas J Dejulio was a Navy surgeon on Okinawa and Guam . Unfortunately he never spoke about it before he passed in his 80’s . Russ Dejulio Pittsburgh PA
The GOAT. Salute from all the DAWGZ! 🫡 S.O.D.T.A.O.E 🇺🇸🇺🇸

I didn't realize that he passed away in January.
Very interesting. Thanks for your service.
Fantastic account. My father was also in the 6th Marine Division on Okinawa. He was with the 6th Engineering Battalion Charlie Company, attached to the 29th Regiment. Served 83 days there, back to Guam and sent to Tsingtao China in 1946. You couldn't get him to speak much about it. I found out why when I was able to read accounts he started writing privately around the year 2000. Horrifying. I started to piece them together and submitted them to The Striking Sixth newsletter dedicated to the 6th Marine Division and they were nice enough to print parts of it last year. Thanks for sharing your account. It inspires me to keep working on Daddy's account with hopes of having an account worthy of publishing someday in his honor.
Semper Fi _ daughter of spearhead 5th marine div, iwojima. Purple heart.
Wva cowboy, cherokee mix and mountain farmer _ musican and father of 9. Sniper shot after a long march. He was commander of the vfw until his death.
Much respect sir. Freedom isn't free.
Thank you Mr. Filipek for telling it the way it was and not sugar coating it. My grandfather was in Europe and my father-in-law was in Asia. Both talked very little about the war and didn't want to go back to the death like you talked about. Each of them would touch on the horror, but not go into many details. I regret not recording them, but death never leaves you, you can only leave death. When you really go back and concentrate on the details, time slows down and then I go blank. I guess that's to protect yourself. Yes, there are times you see the blood squirt, victim going into shock and then others I don't. New life replaces some of the bad and the next sunny day brings new.
You turned it loose and have 94 years of the past behind you. It's mind blowing to think about what you have seen, done, experienced and lived, but God has forgiven you and left you with your mind. Be proud and teach people.
Death smiles at all of us.All we can do is smile back!
Good one, thanks.@@markpaul-ym5wg

Thank you so much for the precious interview Rishi. ❤
Thank you for doing what you had to do !
The photo was probably taken at Nanjing near the old city wall, not at the Great Wall. Much of the Nanjing wall is still there.
Thank you for your service and sacrifice Sir. 🫡
Thank you

Lol this is exactly what you want in war. Wow!
Napalm? In WW2? I thought this weapon was developed for the thick foilage in Vietnam.
Nope. Napalm was developed during WW2. Came out roughly 1943. Used in the Pacific Theater
