Still using The Purple Heart Medals that were made for conquering Japan

My pilot instructor Jim Lambley who flew RAAF P3C Orions used to fly through cyclones for research.

Is that where USA's fobia of Russia comes from because you hated them when they were Tzarist and you hated them when they were communist and you now even hate them when they are capitalists ? I suppose the USA Government has to create some enemies for its citizens to hate seeing you've been at war for all but 4 years of your Union.

Why would Australia find Vietnam problematic to thier homeland security? Because of communist China and the ongoing spread of communism/imperial USSR.

I can add another event. I was told I'm being laid off today.

I'll have to hear more. You look very snazzy today, sir!

Thanks! I enjoyed it. I miss Oldsmobile:)

You can't beat a man in his own trade.

This is amazing! What an Opus History Guy!!! ❤

Tell us about your accent. Location. Education. Class?

A lot of landmarking events just so happened to have occurred on the 29th of April.

Thanks HG! This was fascinating.

Very interesting thank you

Dear HG, thanks for all of your informative and interesting videos. If only more of our younger gens would learn from you! Your highlighting of the Australian involvement in the Vietnam War is most appreciated. Just one little correction of this video: There was no conscription (Draft) instituted in Australia during World War 1. The Australian Commonwealth Forces remained the only fully voluntary force of the Great War. (to the best of my knowledge) There were three Referenda held in 1917, to decide the issue of whether Australia should introduce Conscription or not, and each one was defeated. Your comment referring to the social discord that the issue caused is correct in both cases. The issue in 1917 greatly inflamed long held 'Sectarianism' which lingered for many decades. The 'Moratorium' marches in Australia in the late 60's and early '70's were huge and there was as much division in our society as in America. All the best, and please keep up the good work mate!

Thanks History Guy I would had never known the term “Zip Your Lip” would be the result of this day…😂! Have a great day!

Love this guy’s podcasts on history.

The most-accepted Chicago meaning is a word that comes from the Algonquin language: “shikaakwa,” meaning “striped skunk” or “onion.” According to early explorers, the lakes and streams around Chicago were full of wild onions, leeks, and ramps.

Cool!

Thanks!

Do more like this !👍

GMC had the best motor home about ever to travel the toad, sold well, they made money but stopped making them to retool the factory to build trucks. That's what I heard #HistoryGuy

Big cat for big day!!!

When I was younger, I remember being hit by a tumbleweed in the winter. I got up and it tumbled on it's way 😊

Toronto Maple Leaf fans fondly remember April 29, 1978, when Lanny McDonald scored in overtime to give the Leafs a 2-1 win over the New York Islanders in Uniondale in the 7th game of their Stanley Cup quarter-final series. It's one of the few highlights in the post-1967 history of the Maple Leafs.

….and it’s my birthday.

That is some DARK history

Also my 27 yr old Son, my eldest! ❤️

That was a wonderful story!

I still drive a station wagon. A 1955 Chevy Nomad.

It tumbled all the way to Hawaii??!!

Love your channel so much! Thanks for bringing real knowledge and facts worth knowing to KZbin. Cheers from Canada! (P.S. Loved seeing your kitty too)

10,000 atomic bombs is a meaningless number. Also... A hurricane power release is over 14 or so days, mostly over water... And would include rain.

I adore the ending, and sleepy kitty cameo, too 😁

I’s listening to Aretha last night. She’s still one of the best.

Pocky (sp?) is a little camera-shy.

GREEKS WERE FACING ELIMINATION. FROM THE CELTS. EVEN GREEK WOMEN FROM ETOLIA FORMED AN ARMY AND FOUGHT THE CELTS UNTILL ETOLIAN ARMY ARRIVED FROM THERMOPOLI. THE PERSIANS DIDN'T COMITTED THE CRIMES THE CAULS DID TO THE GREEKS. REAL BARBARS LIKE THE GOTHS AND THE BULGARS.

I remember this as a young child watching it on the television as the air America helicopter pulls off from the CIA station. I really didn't realize how much this affected me until Afghanistan collapsed under the Biden Administration. I didn't serve in Afghanistan but it damn sure gave me PTSD to watch it totally unravel and collapse.

Always reminds me of the song... 🎶 April 29th, 1992 🎶

Definitely a big deal out here in WY.

Who done it

Well i learned something today

the indy 500 was sponsored buy herbrand tools during i think it was the 40s

This was a fun video for me so thank you very much sir! I typically look for some fact or something to post on my birthday(today) to Facebook and this was an easy choice. Have a wonderful Zipper Day!
