Her long pause when you asked her her feelings on being able to help those soldiers and serve .... wow. A most powerful, gentle, humble, beautiful soul. Thank you for this.
Amazing how many American hero's came from the fringes of our society. From the Navajo code talkers, to the all Japanese 442nd Infantry Battalion the most decorated US unit of WW2 and the all black unit of Tuskegee airmen who escorted bombers (without loss over a period of months) over Europe. History that needs to be remembered. God Bless Marcella LeBeau and all those who have served and have not received the recognition that they deserve.
@@Kitiwake Really? Something about these comment sections that just brings people like you out. You are so absolutely sure about something that you just couldn't be more wrong about. I hope you learn and grow up someday. And don't say "Duh" because so many times I've come to better understand things I thought I was so sure about before and learned just how wrong I was. Your statement is so completely wrong about this woman and I'm sure quite a lot of other women as well so you don't want to make yourself at least feel any more foolish later on when you realize it that you also added a "Duh" to yourself
@@jtoddjb My grandpa was a medic in the 82nd airborne paratroopers, fought on dday, market garden in holland, and wounded in The Battle of The bulge. I'm sure he would of appreciated people like her. Grandpa was not enthused of speaking about his harrowing days fighting the Nazis.
What a wonderful lady. You can only imagine some of injuries she would have treated. I am so glad she has lived so long she deserves it. Her last words "it was an honour and a privilage" bought a tear to my eyes. She has been awarded France Legion of Honour medal in 2006. "
Sad, but very inspiring of a precious human being. Getting a little choked up. I had family members who fought on both sides. My mother lost her father and uncle in ww2 and my grandpa, dads dad,who barely survived dday to the ardennes where he was wounded in waffen ss territory. Waffen ss didn't like paratroopers!
What a beautiful, pleasant, and intelligent lady to be 100. Her mind is as sharp as a razor. Very well spoken. Listening to her was like it happened 10 years ago. She certainly deserves our gratitude for her wonderful efforts while one of our nurses. Im sure she saw more than most and it had to have been difficult for her to see such suffering. Thank you Ms. LeBeau for all and most of all, thank you for caring for our fathers and uncles. I would be proud to call you my mother. And thank you ,Greg for another wonderful interview. You always do a wonderful job.
Excellent. These American, and may I especially say, this South Dakotan treasure, represent the best of the best, with no equals to be found today. I am proud to know my home country produced such women as this. God bless you Nurse LaBaue.
More Indians need to seriously consider serving in one of the military branches. Hands down, the best decision I made in my life. The training, the opportunities, the education, & the doors it opened for me during & after service was enormous. I’m grateful for being able to serve in the 2/75. Best years of my life & ones I long to go back to.
Exactly what I was thinking. Its great to honor the soldiers but the nurses/field medics deserve just as much recognition, especially since many were injured and killed on the front lines as well.
As Full blooded Dine' (Navajo).....You Are a blessing to Native America People and a Inspiration to all Americans... aboriginal or generational immigrant Americans....You are example of what all Natives Americans should be in our present day.
This nurse had a really tough job during her service during WWII. The Airborne Infantrymen and Regular Infantrymen who went through her ward that lived are grateful for her duty and dedication.
As Capt. Miller said, "Earn this." So many heroic and incredibly humble people gave so much for our everyday freedoms. "Thanks" doesn't begin to cover it.
What a beautiful amazing lady, thank you for all you are and all you've done, not only for what you did for your country, for Great Britain too You have my complete respect Colin Formerly 'RAF'
She’s so humble, God has a special place in heaven for those who have given their lives for their fellow human beings. Absolutely amazing woman. God bless her and all of those who have served.
Alcohol causes so many problems especially for aboriginal peoples. Dunno if it was right to ban them from drinking but I think it was with good intentions.
Oh my, she’s too cute and sweet. Seriously could listen to her for hours, especially with how articulate she is at her age. It’s a damn shame what she had to go through growing up in the boarding school, the attempt at taking her culture and language. Then subsequently even after returning from duty with the racism by shop owners and the like. She deserved better but I’m glad that she seems to have always been true to herself and hope she continues/d her language/culture. I have such a tremendous amount of respect and pride towards our First Nations veterans and it made me very happy to hear how she helped Eugene and he went on to be happy with a family. As we say in Anishinaabe country, real ogichidaa/ogichidaakwe. “Warrior/warrior women”. Gichi miigwetch (big thanks) for this interview.
“Every society needs heroes. And every society has them. The reason we don't often see them is because we don't bother to look. There are two kinds of heroes. Heroes who shine in the face of great adversity, who perform an amazing feat in a difficult situation. And heroes who live among us, who do their work unceremoniously, unnoticed by many of us, but who make a difference in the lives of others. Heroes are selfless people who perform extraordinary acts. The mark of heroes is not necessarily the result of their action, but what they are willing to do for others and for their chosen cause. Even if they fail, their determination lives on for others to follow. The glory lies not in the achievement, but in the sacrifice.” Bless you Marcella Lebeau from across the big pond
I could listen to her for as long as she would let me. She is wonderful. What a smile. I would bet hearts were broken from that smile. Thank you for sharing this.
To hear her recall in detail all of the situations and incidents that occured while serving is truly a gift, a fantastic woman who deserves all of the praise any one could receive, remarkable.
That generation is just about gone. The youngest wwii vets are in their mid 90's now. Hope they can document the stories of as many of these veterans as possible.
It kills me. These are the people I grew up with all over my neighborhood. The WW2 generation them being gone... Every time I see we have lost one more.. It hurts my soul. But I know they are all up there with with their buddies swinging with the big bands again.
I had to pause a few times to wipe away tears of understanding. I'm a 8yr veteran of the Gulf War, USAF 347TH med group, Moody AFB Valdosta, GA. She's a trooper.
Such a beautiful and humble lady. The story of her people and that of many native American peoples profoundly sadens my heart. I am so thankful for your service to this country
Marcella you are a beautiful lovely lady, I very much enjoyed your personal history. Your description of SD is heart warming. Thank you for your service!❤
This elegant and beautiful woman is so eloquent in speaking about her experiences. She is so sharp and such wonderful storyteller. She is so brave and so sharp. Thank you for your service.
thank you Marcella for your service and loving help to not only the servicemen you helped during ww2 but to all of us viewers reading and watching this interview, now.
Beautiful story beautiful soul. You are doing work recording these heroic people that is priceless. It makes my heart hurt beyond description of all the stories lost forever at the passing of this generation. I think it should be taught in schools ahead of all the nonsense that's out there. When these people talk about the way this country has changed there sad that all these people suffered and died by the million's fighting evil to protect our great country and from the top all the way down are destroying it and were just letting it happen. We need to stand up and remove the corruption and replace it with people of Honor.
I watch these Veteran's Chronicles quite a bit. This one was very interesting. Marcella is definitely an inspiration for all to see and hear. She is so sharp for being 100 yrs old. I have so much respect for our Veteran's, they sacrificed so much. I was in the Army myself and my Uncle's were all in WWII. In fact one of them was on the last Aircraft Carrier that was sunk in the war. It was hit by two Kamakazi planes. After the 2nd plane they had to abandon ship. He was in the water for something like 8+ hours and was then finally picked up. He swam to a fire ring in the water, then went under the edge of the ring and swam underwater until he came up in the middle of the ring. He stayed in the middle thinking they wouldn't think of strafing in that area. He was right! I am surprised the fire didn't get him with all that oil, but he made it. I have a pic of them pulling him out of the water. He was covered in oil from head to toe, from the ship being hit. I have always been very proud of him. My four Uncles were all in the Navy but my father was in the Army so thats what I did.
I have such reverence for this brave wonderful veteran . She has so much courage and compassion. Her story brought tears to my eyes. She is so beautiful and has the most kind heart. May god bless her and hold her in his arms and allways watch over her.
First I want to thank you for your service and all your hard work and determination. I honestly believe you many lives in this world of a better place because of it, I believe that in my heart What a life you have lived and to recall so much I wish I could sit with you and listen to them all. I could listen for days and not say a word my grandmother was Cherokee my grandfather Part choctaw unfortunately my parents divorced when I was too, and I don’t know much about them, which breaks my heart. Thank you again ma’am for everything you’ve done throughout your lifetime I’m sure you’re an inspiration To so many I’m also sure there is many that looked up to you and I’ll say it again this world’s a better place because of you
What a fantastic story. I've read many historical books and seen many documentaries on WWII. This video gave me an entirely different perspective. What a courageous woman.
This story, in my opinion, defines selfless service. How many lives has she personally saved? I'd guess many. I can't say enough about this true story of service. For her to relive the horrible experiences of war must've been exhausting. Thank you for being a fine example of how others should serve. You're a hero to me.
What a beautiful story so proud of her and to think she's alive and tell ing her story God bless her I was b orn in 1944 a year after she was in service.
Still a beautiful lady! Ty for your service..caring for the wounded and dying..what an experience! And being part of a very unique time in history! Not only D Day..but battle of the Bulge! Amazing story!
Her long pause when you asked her her feelings on being able to help those soldiers and serve .... wow. A most powerful, gentle, humble, beautiful soul. Thank you for this.
I could listen to her stories for hours, what a beautiful woman .
I've had the opportunity to meet her in person. She is delightful.
You were blessed!
The entire time I just wanted to give her a huge hug. You were blessed to be blessed with the opportunity to meet her
I guess I'm quite randomly asking but does anyone know of a good site to watch new series online ?
@Jairo Bjorn Lately I have been using FlixZone. Just search on google for it =)
She sounds like an amazing woman. Its great to honor the soldiers and all but the nurses/field medics are underappreciated IMO and need more love.

There are no words in any language for this warrior, healer woman.
No words, just respect.
Women weren't warriors. Duh

She is the most humble person I’ve heard. May god bless and keep her.
The nightmares she must have had, seeing all those mangled bodies, and she was an angel comforting the dying soldiers. She has all of my respect.
Exactly what I was thinking. Its great to honor the soldiers but the nurses/field medics deserve just as much recognition, especially since many were injured and killed on the front lines as well.
She's sharp as a tack and we'll spoken and was a looker
Yep, I gotta agreed with all your words...
Amazing ..." LeBeau " is a french name for " the beautiful ".
She is still a good looker for her age!
She speaks the Queens English.
This is simply one of the Greatest most beautiful amazing and truly humbling interviews of a Great Lady I've ever witnessed.
Marcella is a national treasure. Thank you for your service ma'am!
I thought the eldest Baldwin
brother was a national treasure!

What a treasure she is. Thank you for your service Marcella LeBeau!
Tears and love is all I feel right now.
Best of life to her, yes everyone. She is total inspiration.
We just watched this and she is a wonderful woman. She is what we should all be like. Such compassion and love she shared,
She came to my high school in eufaula Oklahoma she had a great story I had stayed after to shake her hand it was an honor to do so
It is an absolute honor to hear this precious lady. What an amazing kind sweet girl! God bless you!

Thank you for sharing this story. Ms. LeBeau is a beautiful lady.
A lovely lady and a lovely person, a wonderful person..need more lovely people and wonderful people like her now!
She is so amazingly intelligent and beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️
She is wonderful. At 100, she sounds like she is 30 years old. What a nice person.
I hope I am this vibrant and well spoken when I am 80.
Right!? Much less at 100!
What a beautiful amazing lady, thank you for all you are and all you've done, not only for what you did for your country, for Great Britain too

Good bless this Lady
33:07 "you can change the law, but you cant change the hearts of man" What an incredible quote, which holds extreme weight.
Alcohol causes so many problems especially for aboriginal peoples. Dunno if it was right to ban them from drinking but I think it was with good intentions.
@@redtobertshateshandles This is true of their problem with alcohol, but "rubbing alcohol"? I think it was wrong for not selling it to her..
@@melanieparker9440 Some people are so addicted that they will drink anything, it is a sad fact.
I Salute this Lady, A true American Hero .
I'm so thrilled to learn this history. She is a national treasure
We can never thank these people enough
How beautiful she is, inside and out! Her story was so amazing. Thank you for preserving it for us all. She's an inspiration, to be sure!

I was extremely humbled listening to her speak. She has had an incredible life !
I'm going to tell everyone that your my grandma, that's how impressed I am.
Great story. Thanks for interviewing her. She experienced so much more than what she could relate.
Outstanding 👏👏👏
Every American should be required to watch this.
God bless her.

Great quote! Who said it? Thanks for sharing, and I concur and will teach this to my class!
oh damn I thought u wrote that, lol I was like this guy is deep
She is so bright and recalls so well for 100 years old. Miss LeBeau speaks so well ...delightful.
I could listen to her for as long as she would let me.
She is wonderful. What a smile. I would bet hearts were broken from that smile.
Thank you for sharing this.
What a lovely lady. Thank you for your service and sharing with us.
To hear her recall in detail all of the situations and incidents that occured while serving is truly a gift, a fantastic woman who deserves all of the praise any one could receive, remarkable.
I’m so happy she told more of her experiences than we would have heard if only his specific questions were answered.
I love you Ms. Lebeau. Thank you for all you've done for us. You are a beautiful soul.
What a beatiful, courageous person. An honor to hear her speak. Disgusting to hear her experience back home. My namesake is buried at Henri Chapelle.
Incredible story indeed
Such a beautiful lady in heart and soul. I could listen to her for hours.
That generation is just about gone. The youngest wwii vets are in their mid 90's now. Hope they can document the stories of as many of these veterans as possible.
There are others on UA-cam, but the clips are typically much shorter and used as witnesses in documentaries.
It kills me. These are the people I grew up with all over my neighborhood. The WW2 generation them being gone... Every time I see we have lost one more.. It hurts my soul. But I know they are all up there with with their buddies swinging with the big bands again.

Thank you for your serivce. Great generation.
I met her during the Ghost Shirt repatriation in 1999. You could never meet a more remarkable human being.
Very nice video. She's a lovely, intelligent and well spoken lady.
God bless the memory of this selfless nurse and the multitude of nurses who served .
This is my absolute favorite of all the episodes I have watched. Amazing woman
shes as sharp as anything can be. I can only imagine this woman in her prime, thank you so much hero. They dont make them like they used to

WOW! What a Woman. I'm proud just to hear her story. Thank you Nurse LaBeau.
This sweet lady reminds me of my little grandmother.. she was born on the Cherokee nation on 14th April 1894.
She never cried but it took everything I had not to. I've experienced violence and fear for life myself but I can't imagine their horror. What a hero.
