[@WillieJolley]

Proud of Pop and grateful for his service and thankful that he is still here and able to share it so wonderfully! Amen!

[@charlesgindele5073]

Thanks Dave, for your service and for keeping these incredible stories alive. My dad was born in 1928 and had similar experiences. You are "the greatest generation"! Thanks for sharing.

[@davidyoho]

Proud of my dad and his service. Yet, he's just one of many to whom we all owe a debt.

[@rorschachsjournal2084]

He's an awesome guy, and he's really inspired me to be the best I can be.

[@shawnpa]

Excellent interview.

[@andrewwebb-trezzi2422]

Thank god for men like your dad. From a Canadian, I thank him for my freedom.

[@paulschneider8092]

Dave is a consummate storyteller and obvious patriot from an early age. We all are the beneficiaries of his and others service to our great country.

[@staceyhappilyeverafter391]

Greg,, I cannot thank you enough for your efforts, and even more for your professionalism, in helping these stories reach us. Be well.

The tear in my eye matches his. Thank you for every part you did for our freedom.

[@daxijinpinggeecheechannel252]

Thank you for your service Dave Yoho

[@gregm6652]

I really love this man's articulate defense of himself and his fellow servicemen and women. America needs entire battalions of men like this today.

Only 96 likes on this in almost two years. WTF. Merchant Maritime Service members deserve more respect than they get.

[@sevysnape]

Wow what a powerful story, thank you Dave.

[@Chatterbox-94]

I’m in the process of joining the merchant marines. Much like this man I was rejected from joining the Navy but the merchant marine’s seemed like a perfect alternative for me.

[@GoodmanMIke59]

USMMA 1982 ... engineering. I grew up on Long Island, fires off Long Beach, NY (I'm told). ... Been through the Panama Canal 9X I sailed with men like this. Sailed with men who'd been torpedoed ... twice. I sailed on UNREP oilers. The structure of the engine department might have been discussed. The difference between USMS and USN might hav been explored. Differences between jobs and qualifications. ...............

Greatest generation God bless my dad was navy 🇺🇸

[@charlesgoodspeed3474]

HAnd Salute and thank you

[@Car1Sagan]

My dad was in those Russian convoys, also joined the USMM at age 16 in 1940, before the US declared war. Over time, he was on 2 ships sunk by German subs. He saw many of his mates eaten by sharks.

[@wekapeka3493]

A good man.

[@ltcajh]

War grew them up fast. They didn't have time to wonder what gender they were, or their sexual persuasion.

[@JohnDavis-yz9nq]

His mouth is driving me crazy. Gonna have to bail on this one.

[@andrewwebb-trezzi2422]

Those Russian convoys were no joke. A lot of young Americans and Canadians died in icy waters, alone, because they loved freedom.
