Passing of a True Patriot

Here was an article about Woody this morning by David Martin, https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/remembering-wwii-medal-of-honor-recipient-hershel-woody-williams/ar-AAZ96mn?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=5741999dbe694cf39a48665ebdbb3c3f, it is amazing how one good farm boy from West By God, could do so much for his fellow countrymen.

ND Mike Yeah, I didnt care for the story telling as much in the pacific BUT what they went through…honestly I think I would have rather be in Europe, having to fight the enemy from island to island with crocodiles, snakes and that much sickness just made it that much tougher. Dan Carlin has a good hardcore history on that as well.
GWG8541 thanks for the list, I will check out the old breed. We were young and we were soldiers, that was a good but emotionally draining book and the Mel Gibson movie was bad ass.
Does anyone remember the Charlie Mike series? Leonard B Scott, my dad had them all and I eventually read them. Really fast reads, very engaging but probably an unrealistic view of war.

Jonathon if you, and everyone else for that matter hasn’t listened to the new companion Podcast to Band of Brother’s you are truly missing out!

Tex_77 I did listen, really good my main issue was the 1st episode…I hate tom hanks, always have since he stopped doing movies like splash and money pit. I don’t buy him as a serious actor at all! But all the other episodes were great. Nix was my favorite one.

Jonathon I had an uncle that was at Pearl Harbor and survived the attack. Drove around in a Toyota with a front plate that said: I Survived Pearl Harbor.

bocephus That is pretty amazing as I have known a few, most that have passed, that would not touch anything made in Japan or Japan sounding after that experience. Others, that had no issue at all. I think we have come a long way.

GWG8541 I’ll second “With the Old Breed” i listened to it and it was great! Another I’d add is “Helmet for My Pillow” by Robert Leckie.
Tex_77 both of these are great reads!

If anyone is in the fence, the terminal list is pretty good. It’s Chris Platts new amazon thing based on a book, if you haven’t read the book i imagine it’d be a little better but still good

Tex_77 I just started reading Jack Carr books. I enjoyed the first one and looking for more, trying to read them in order.
