implosion is when The Federal Government No Longer Protects... All of my Comments via UA-cam Waverly B. Woodson + Desmond Doss on UA-cam.. Hacksaw Ridge, Okinawa 🎆
It's sad they failed to Recognize his service and still to this day, this guy deserve a medal of honor for his service.
AGREED!!!
Failed to recognize his service? He received a bronze star. I hate how every other military award besides the medal of honor is considered worthless these days.
Biden needs to get on it!
@@americanatlas3631 He should have gotten a medal of honor. If he were white he would at least been considered for one.
@@theraplawyer Hundreds of medics served while injured and under fire on D-Day. Do they all deserve Medals of Honor too?
This man deserves a Medal of Honor. I appreciate him and his battalion for the additional hardships they had to endure.
and when they came back they got treated like 2nd class citizens
Horrific. This man deserves a Medal of Honor.
It was sad and what's even more sa d is the youth today doesn't ha e to go through this but they sure do act like they did
@@anwjuice so from your personal experience you know for sure that nobody is treated differently in this country?? I already know your race 🤦♂️ 🤦♂️.. and people like you like to ignore how our GRANDPARENTS were treated by this country
Where is the MOH ?? God bless this HERO and ALL who lived , died , and were wounded on those beaches !!!!
Amazing, Incredible person, We need more people like him in the world.
Imagine loving and fighting for your country when it didn't love you back.
This man was a true warrior, Rest Easy sir, thank you! 🙏🏾💪🏾
75 years ago the greatest battle of all time happened. That battle was Operation Overlord. Now known as D-Day. The battle sparked the liberation of France. Let us honor our veterans and those in the line of duty.
75 years and two weeks ago, the greatest battle of all time happened. Let's again honor our veterans and those in the line of duty.
God bless these black medics 🙏🇺🇸
God bless America and keep her free🇺🇸
Thank you very, very much for liberating Europe. You also liberated Germany. Yours from the Federal Republic of Germany, Alex
Deutschland Gefellt Mir^^ Xoxo. We were there in West Germany with the US Army later September 1980- later September 1983 so Vielen Dank!! My oldest Son had seven years of German counting that + four years in HS and typically in the Service without forethought the US Navy sent him to Panama with Spanish the usual (he Enlisted Active Duty Navy at age 19).
Where is your Home Town? We traveled extensively and a much older Friend here who just turned 90, going on 60+^^, is from Germany.♥️✨⚓
It’s kind of ironic to see the history channel share this. I say this because back in the day I was watching a documentary on the history channel about black soldiers and it said there were none who fought at D-Day.
He has a heart of gold
My old Friend Ben Delahunty was there & So Very Grateful for people like Waverly B. Woodson who Saved countless Lives beyond the numbers. Ben, Now With God along with Field Medic Woodson here, died in 2018 in Seoul, Korea and always had Free R/T British Airways trips home Every Year: as an irish Catholic Native Son he held a British Passport.
He deserves the medal of honor for your courage in combat
Even with Elenore, Why didn't Roosevelt integrate the USA Military Service Branches and Why did it take until Truman... My going on 97 year old Jesuit Priest once told me that "Being Brave, Having Courage is Being Afraid And Doing it Anyway": American Soldier Waverly B. Woodson Deserves The Medal Of Honor and Additional Medals and long over-due Recognition!!🗽🇺🇸♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🌉🤺🌌✨⚓🎇
@@lornakim5706 Race is too important in America. Why did it take until 1947 to integrate baseball, and the 1950's to integrate the NFL? YOu know why.
What a brave young man, he helped to save the world, let's right the wrong a start to reconize and honor the efforts and actions of these men..
God Bless Waverly Woodson Jr.! Now, where's his medal?
It's never mentioned in the American history schools curriculum.BRAINWASHING our children.
Sounds like another great American like Desmond Doss. Never forgotten!
🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆
But he was. Desmond Doss would probably have been forgotten if he were Black.
My grandpa was in the Army during WW2 he never talked about his experiences over there
Medal of honor
The true americans here. "And not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character". True americans in an effort to preserve a democracy that didn't serve them when they landed back on the soil they were protecting in the first place. This is why there is a subdued anger and frustration left in the hearts and minds people who just had dark skin. Bless all those forever and then some.
African Americans do great things, when they are called upon to do so, just like other Americans who love this country.
But get recognized for doing so little 🙏🏽 our history books in school tell us so , smh so sad so much hate lies in u like them - namaste
Never heard of this until today
Our Uncle Bob was with the 82d Airborne which dropped into North Africa against Rommel and north from there to be among those who Liberated Dachau, More 😎🎇⚓
Time for a movie.
Brave! America’s Finest Veteran’s
Respect!
Salute to this brave man
African Americans need to always remember who the real enemy is. (Hint) They reside back home not over seas
My hero
Salute.
Respect
And this guy was left out of all of the D-DAY movies, Saving Private Ryan, The Longest Day etc.
Im sick of stories featuring us in an honorable way getting ZERO views!! makes me sick to my stomach! 😤
"You may scream to your god, but pray for a medic!" "Doc B" 1st ID HHC 1-16 Infantry "Iron Rangers" [MECH] Med. Platoon, evac section, DUTY FIRST!
For the wife to be at least in her 80s and son at least 60; I got to say black don’t crack
Then you haven’t been in Mississippi then, cool folks though
Was this gentleman born in Africa? Why not simply call him American? Or should we also call Roosevelt a Dutch-American President? Kennedy a Catholic-Irish-American President? Trump a Scottish-German American President with a Scottish-German-Slovenian American son called Barron?
African American people had no say in what they wanted to be called, plus when you describe people in the past you had to just describe them by race, of their ancestor homeland and black is not a race, it's a color.Trump, Kennedy, are Caucasian it have 3 meaning it could be there ancestors are from Europe, Middle, East Central Asia.
Amazing MEN stormed that beach, if we had a mission like that in today's time OMG, we would have to put our foot in the 3 points of contact , to get soldiers off those LVCP!
Oof this dude tops desmand doss
Nope. Doss saved 70 men PERSONALLY while the battle was raging. Woodson Jr aided 300 men after the battle, which means he was working with other medics, not saving them personally.
❤️💕❤️💕❤️
CAPTION YOUR VIDEOS FOR DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING
schools use your videos and Hard of Hearing students do not have equall access to your videos
Whilel it's not always accurate, it's pretty good most of the time. UA-cam has a built-in Auto caption function. The three dots symbol in the upper right hand corner will reveal it.
@@hillsane9262 watch a couple of videos with the captions on and audio off. Tell me if you think it is still "good enough" especially if it is your only option because a major company doesn't do a simple thing and add the script to the video when they make it.
Many, Many Drowned before they even got to the Beach & the US Army Signal Corps was already there by three days to lay the Radio Communication Cables, et al; and, recently i read online that US Marines were also inserted First _Protecting Signal?_& then there are the USMC Raiders who fought totally OP-SEC with Mao's people later 1930's-1941+ in China vs the Japanese.✨🌌🇺🇸🗽🤺🎇🥁🌉🎆⚓
You ignore the point of the story. Remember the Mumford Point Marines.
Peter Jennings was correct, "The Finest Generation!" which was not 'duplicated' until iraq and Afghanistan Veterans in part because Congress was additionally lacking Supportive means by word & deed _and lack thereof_ for our People in Viet Nam: Armchair Quarterbacks still abound.
