    My dad was a Force Recon Marine from '59-'70. He did combat tours in '65, '66, '68, and '69. He was born in '42, was orphaned at 4 and grew up mostly homeless, as a greaser in north Tulsa. When he was 6, he escaped from an orphanage. He never told anyone what happened in there, but he crawled through a broken window and then coiled barbed wire to get out. He was caught, sent to a hospital to get stitches for all the cuts on his hands, arms and face, and was sent back. Two months later, he escaped again. He died in '87, and still had faintly visible scars from that on the right side of his face. I didn't know much about what my dad did in Vietnam, because he felt I was still too young (11) to hear those stories when he died. After he died, from time to time we'd meet a guy who served with him. So, I heard some stories. Jump to the week of my 18th birthday. It was one of the worst weeks of my life. On November 7th, my mentor died of a heart attack. On the 8th, the storage place my mom was keeping my dad's guns got broken into and stolen, so instead of getting the guns he left for me in his will, I got a police report. On my birthday, my girlfriend dumped me for another dude. On the 10th it was the USMC's birthday, and I went to my mentor's funeral and memorial service. …but it all turned around on Veteran's day. On the 11th my friend Richey (who had recently come home from Marine Basic Training) and a bunch of us went for coffee. He started talking about how his DI would sit them down some nights and tell them stories about this badass sergeant he served with in Vietnam. Some of the stuff Richey talked about was pretty familiar. When I finished one of the stories, he was like, "How do you know about this?" I was like, "What's the name of the sergeant?" He replied, "Wait, was Sgt Rock your dad!?" He got wicked wide-eyed, and quietly said, "Dude, your dad's a fucking legend…" Those last five words made all the shit I had gone through that week okay. This badass old DI was telling his Marines stories about my old man. Most of my dad's stuff was classified and a lot of records got lost in a fire in St. Louis, so I don't think I'll ever really know the stuff he got up to. …but the stories I do know, I tell to friends, keeping him alive in memory. So, I love the way you tell stories about these warriors. Your sense of humor is a lot like his was. Keep up the good work, man.

    Anyone else who knows the US Military and anyone else who's seen these videos knows, if the US has something they know will be absolutely catastrophic to the enemy, they will find a way to same day deliver it to the enemy. The "Bunker Buster" bombs, 82nd Airborn being able to fight and win hungover or sober, tilting a whole vessel just to shoot farther, priority shipping 2 atom bombs through Japanese infested waters to drop them on Japan, Sending the biggest horde of angry Americans to the front door of occupied Europe, taking off armor and guns off of some B-25s so they could play the Uno reverse card on Japan right after Pearl Harbor, sending God's personal healer to actively be shot at and still bring back dozens of wounded. The list keeps going but if America has something invaluable, they will perform a miracle to send a miracle into combat

    I was so excited to see this video. I spent 20 years in the Oklahoma National Guard and had the honor one Veteran's Day of assisting with the install of a handicap ramp at Jake McNiece's house. After the install he signed our copies of his books, take a picture with us, and told us stories for hours. He told us the story of when he stole the train, but it was not just because he didn't want to walk back to the barracks, but he had missed the last bus back to the barracks. He also told a story about jumping out of a plane behind enemy lines with his pockets filled with tobacco and no food because he could find food. He ended up landing in water and ruining all the tobacco he had.

I considered it an honor to not only cook for them...but to listen to their stories. Also as a young man it was nice getting hit on from time to time by a vet wife(20+ years older than me☺

    My dad's first enlistment was Army during Korean war. Love my dad's sense of humor even though he's seen some ugly stuff. He told me the story of how he was put in charge of guarding the ammo dump. They were under fire and he said those shells were getting close. He started 'easing away' from it as the explosions got closer and his CO yelled his last name and "where the hell are you going...get your ass back to your post!!" Dad turned to go back and a shell hit right behind him. He said the force was such that it blew his rifle off his arm and his helmet off his head knocking him down. He said he laid there trying to recover from shock and was thinking his head had been blown off. He tells that story with a chuckle, but....dad also drank a lot. I know there's so much he wouldn't or couldn't share. The stories from Viet Nam when he was USAF though....those were different and no chuckles with those.

A captain walked up to us just shooting some shit realized we didnt look like new boots, and basically treating us like prior service we were. one of the Most hilarious things happened next was that the 18c told the captain to carry on. The captain flipped and was like, "CARRY ON, YOU DONT TELL ME TO CARRY ON..I TELL YOU TO CARRY ON".

He talked a lot about his training in Georgia and running Currahee Mountain for training. He was a bit hush on many battles and other things he saw. He was at the castle at the same time as this guy when they were "partying" and he described where they were and told stories of how drunk the people got.

    I love hearing stories like this... My dad was WWll an only son, forged his mother's name to go at 17 and when his mother asked why, he said I have to go protect my buddy's from the neighborhood that went... My dad made front page 3 times of his Quincy MA local paper, local boy hero, he was even credited on 60 minutes in 1984-85ish by a California senator that he saved during the war using the cricket, he did some crazy shit over there, I have a shit ton of stories, some totally unbelievable but he proved it... One thing my dad always said to me, well he said a lot of things to me but he always said, don't ever doubt my words and make me tell you I told you so... As much as I have issues about some of the things he didn't allow me to do or accomplish in life which really pisses me off, I still love the guy because he was the man of the neighborhood that everyone loved and he would always find a way to help anyone out, even when he didn't have anything. Gotta love all the men and women who fight for our freedoms, even while tyrant politicians try to squander them from us.

    34 Years ago I joined a local gun club here in Eastern Pa. At that time there were manyWW2 vets. One of our guys was a man named Jack Agnew. Jack was 101 airborne ,3 combat jumps and was at Baston. He was part of the Dirty 13. To me he was Larger than life. A very modest man. I never heard a 4 letter word from him. Another member Jack was great friends with was a Nazi Paratrooper, (Fallschirmjager) .Tony was born in the Czech Republic and became an American in 1953. Jack an Tony would go to reunions at Fort Indian Town Gap in Pennsylvania. I miss them Both very much. In 2006 I accompanied Tony back to Germany for his last Fallschirmjager reunion. He Pass away Jan 2009. Two Great men both Americans.

    Dude! I heard about this on Unsub and had to see it! This guy is a legend (or should be)! I knew about him, but nothing this extensive. Funny thing is, all of us know the type. When I was in basic, we had a guy who told the DS to F off every day....yet, he stayed in training. Most of my DSs were Vietnam vets. At the end of training, our DI called out three of us, and this guy was one of them. He said that THIS was the type dude that would brave enemy fire to pull you back to safety - they knew. I never forgot that through 21 years of serving our great nation, and it gave me patience with similar folk. End story for him was that he ended up owning a car dealership (I know only because I took my car there when visiting in-laws and saw him like 15 years later...it was a blurry night lol). Some folks are good at combat, but don't fit in garrison, others (too many) are good at garrison, but not real good at combat. There's a place for both, but damn if the irritation isn't real twixt the two.
