Great interview... awesome man... thank you
This ol boy is a treasure.Thank you for your service
Great American. Thank you Jesse!
Men like this are our national treasure. My dad served in WWII, Korea and Vietnam also. He served with the Army Air Corp in WWII and then the Air Force in Korea and Vietnam.
I’m late when it comes to finding this channel. I’ve always greatly appreciated the sacrifices our service men and women make but as I’ve grown older I more understand the importance of recording and preserving these stories. I’m in my mid 20’s and I believe I’m close to the last generation who has gotten the privilege to meet and speak with these men before they pass or their minds go. My point being i had physical role models for honestly, hard work, and standing on YOUR morals not the man’s next to you ect. Due to my generations wishywashy morals and tendency to be mob minded I’m afraid we will again pay the price to learn the lessons these men have pre paid for us and have been trying to teach. Thank you for recording their stories and giving us the opportunity to listen and learn!
This guy is a amazing story teller, as well as an incredible life!
Incredible. Thank You.
I really enjoyed the guy! Wow 3 wars
What`s really amazing about Mr. Beck,is not just the 3 wars,but these wars expanded for 30 years....Absolutely a patriot,a true American....A salute from the Downeast coast of Maine.....Thank you...This is my grandparents` generation and I `m proud to have the same traditional conservative values as this GOD-Given generation....
He’s the best. My God!!
Wow!!
This guy is my grandfather and a very proud American. He loved his country , his children and his grandchildren very much. The words he used to say to me was " YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU PUT YOUR MIND TO". learn from the generations before you.
From Captain to Staff Sgt. Just Damm. Reduction in force is a bitch.
