@working_country ___ TLC was bought by Discovery in 1991. Bush was president back then.

[@delusionnnnn]

@working_country ___ Why politicize this? I mean, I'm not sure you were, but why contextualize it that way? I wrote about this issue at length (in a long-defunct website) in 2001 about the reign of pseudoscience on DCI (The Discovery Channel and The Learning Channel) and A&E (The History Channel and The History Channel International) had been at this for far too long even then. This had nothing to do with who was in the white house, this had everything to do with two network execs in place in the late 90s who decided to pivot from history, science, and education to lying about aliens, pseudoscience, men crying about their truck or boat-based jobs, pawn shop drama, or pretending every Nazi, medieval Catholic, founder of the US, and European royal family member was a secret member of 28 different secret cults. Because they were at the beginning of a big change and balkanization of television, and cable explosion was reducing individual channel numbers, making everyone wet their pants, despite most of them getting numbers that would give Prestige TV the vapours by today's standards. So they turned these putatively educational channels into reality TV channels for short-term capitalist reasons, not politicians, and not for political reasons.

And One of the older soldiers replied " not yet, but one more pass and it will be."

I remember when I was a kid growing up in the 70's you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting some guy who'd been in the war there was so many of them around, and at the time they were about the age I am now, it's just mind boggling to me that in a short while there won't be any left.

The courage or concern beyond one's self for others is planted early on - but becomes in the moment. Pfc Lindstrom was one of those simple but sacred individuals. My uncle also received the medal of honor in WWII, buried in Luxembourg. He, like Lindstrom, had buildings dedicated, a street, and more. While some buildings have been demolished by a change in times. I have went to the base in San Antonio where building and street remains, inquire and no one knows. I hope to visit Luxembourg in 2023 to see his grave and dedications, if still there and $$. Thanks to all those who served and sacrificed. A vet

The number of little known WWII heroes has got to be in the thousands. I went to Normandy this summer and have become an obsessive. Particularly with the paratroopers. Reading a book on the history of the 101st Airborne and so far, there are at least a dozen unbelievably brave actions performed on and in the days after D Day. Some got NO awards and several should have gotten the MoH, excepting for the inexplicable decision by the staff to only award one MoH for each campaign.

Thank you History Guy. I wish my hub was still alive to watch your broadcasts. He was a 20 year veteran of the US Army himself who never (as many service members have found) really adjusted to being a civilian. As his wife and a war era vet myself I sometimes chuckled when he groused about not being able to get anyone to cut his hair “high and tight.” I won’t repeat what he said when one hair dresser instructed him to ask for a “fade.” He finally found someone in our home town but since we were living in AL he could only get it cut every 3 months. It was the first thing he did after resting up from the drive! He would have enjoyed your channel. Thank you for the great bits of history you share with all of us but in particular those about the military.

This is the first Veterans Day in twenty years that I find myself out of uniform. A few days from now marks my 21st year of service and the end of the month is my last day as an Army Infantry NCO. That men such as Floyd Lindstrom lived is evidence that the American Fighting Man (and Woman these days) is capable of astonishing feats when needed. Years ago I went for an official photo to put with my packet for The Old Guard. I'd gotten a photo at Fort Lee only a month prior but it wasn't up to DA Photo standards, so I did another at Fort Campbell. While waiting, an older Major entered wearing the Medal of Honor. This was Alfred Rascon, and I was honored to exchange a few words with him. A month or two later I was at my VFW post with my Dad, who had been a member for my entire life (he served in Korea and West Berlin in the 50s-60s), and a man recognized my unit insignia 187th Infantry "Rakkasans" and started talking Airborne history. He told me of a young Spec 4 Medic he'd served with in the 173rd Airborne in Vietnam who had saved a bunch of lives, earned the Medal of Honor, and later commissioned as an officer. This turned out to be Rascon, the same recipient I'd met hundreds of miles away the previous month. Later that year I reported to The Old Guard, where I was part of a team that rendered final honors to all sorts of people. Michael Novosel, General Yarbrough, and far too many others to list, both notable and simply men and women who did their time quietly without standing out. Fortunately, I fall in the latter category.

[@dukecraig2402]

I did a funeral when I was in the 1st Infantry Div at Ft Riley back in the 80's, one month when my unit had duty battalion I was on the detail for honor guard, all we did was drill all day long practicing in case we'd be needed for it, just so happens that month a retired general who'd started out as a private in the 1st Div in WW2 that later went on to become an officer and eventually a general had passed away and as per his wishes was buried at Ft Riley in the division cemetery. He was a big shot in the unit, one of the artillery units had ceremonial guns lined up with chromed breech blocks to fire off the salute.

[@anonymousm9113]

@@dukecraig2402 The gun salute is always something. Arlington National Cemetery has a four firing points, and the Presidential Salute Battery fires the respective number of times depending on rank. During official ceremonies on Fort Myer, numerous car alarms start going off immediately due to the small size of the installation. I got wrapped up in training my brigade funeral teams at Fort Stewart, then became part of the off-post funeral team as a Drill Sergeant at Benning. I also conducted some off-post funerals in Northern VA and DC, but the 500-600 or so in Arlington were by far the most varied experience. The one thing I never did was a State Funeral or other prominent political one. I was back at Myer when McCain and Bush '41 passed, but was on my way up to the Military District of Washington, where I helped plan Perot's funeral.

One can just imagine how many stories could be told, very similar to this, but won't ever be told , because it would take more than a lifetime for them all to be documented.
