[@harryburge9803]

Lloyd Lewis is a great Marine and a great American!! He is one of the Greatest Generation!!

[@VoicesofHistory]

A Marines Marine!!!

[@guyroger4131]

Touching Larry.

[@krisshepherd740]

I'm a identical twin and I can feel the pain and anger he feels. It's unimaginable what he went through. A true hero and man. ❤❤❤

[@VoicesofHistory]

Kris, this is one of the most stunning stories I've ever heard. I always wondered what it would be like to be a twin. You can relate to Lloyd's story.

[@wittwittwer1043]

As a peacetime Marine 1962-1966 I made a number of landings in LCVPs, Higgins type boats with a steel front ramp. The first people into the boat kept constant tension on the cargo net so that it didn't sag between the ship's hull and the boat as it rose and fell in the waves. We never had any injuries getting into the boats. Regarding the helmet/grenade: When we went to the grenade range, they had the following displays: What remained of an M-1 steel helmet that they had detonated a grenade under, with a sandbag on top. Part of the helmet was flat, and it had holes in it. The other display was sheets of plywood that had been painted white and nailed to trees at different distances, to illustrate the "kill radius" and the "wound radius" of our modern grenades. Japanese grenades were cylindrical with 2.3 oz explosive. American WWII grenades were MK 2s AKA "pineapple grenades," filled with 2 oz or explosive. The ones I threw were MK 26 grenades with 5.75 oz explosive..

[@70stunes71]

We lost a family member in World War II. Great generation right there

[@VoicesofHistory]

Yes, we will never see the likes of these men and women again. God help this country.

[@70stunes71]

@@VoicesofHistory Amen to that!!!!

[@ryanwilkie5515]

Thank you for putting these together, My Grandfather was a Pearl Harbor Survivor and fought in the South Pacific. Because these men sacrificed so much, for freedom, and for country. We will never let freedom not ring, from sea to shining sea. Too much blood has been shed for We The People to let freedom end with me or my generation. Rest In Peace, Sir...We will take it from here.

[@VoicesofHistory]

Well said Ryan.

[@robertboney4493]

One tough marine. God bless him and all the servicemen's sacrifices in WWII.

[@stevenrafters7817]

Thank you sir from the bottom of my heart for these videos. You are passing along stories that are so important and from your interviews future generations will possibly learn. May God bless Mr. Lewis and all the others who served. We'll never see their likes again. Thank you!

[@VoicesofHistory]

[@jonnash170]

All the respect in the world to you sir and your brother rest in peace.

[@electrolytics]

This man IS the USMC! God Bless you sir. USA!

[@harrymarshall4625]

Powerful 😢

[@Rich-xg2cg]

My Uncle was a Marine in WW2 . I asked him at dinner about it and my Father told me to shut up. My Uncle said that John Wayne was a “Hollywood Marine” .

[@darrenwelsman2851]

My heart truly was taught an incredible lesson, listening to this man pour out his. The ability to gather up your brothers remains and carry him on your back and ask for water to wash him, made me weep. The dignity and love and respect is mind-blowing under these circumstances, how he managed to hold it together and go back to the line, shows his true colours. Sir. You have my respect and humble gratitude. This has to be the most raw interviews I have watched, and I have watched many. God bless and keep all those who fell and never came home, and those who remain and carry the memories of war.

[@VoicesofHistory]

Darren, let me say your comment is one of many thousands coming nowadays on my video interviews. It is at the top of the list brother. Thank you for watching and commenting on Lloyd's story. Out of all the interviews I have done the past 20 years his story about his brother is the most stirring and gripping. God bless you. I hope you are subscribed to my channel.

[@hongshi8251]

I’m just choked up. This fella knows the price of freedom.

[@ronhaworth5471]

Sir,I salute you and your brother for preserving our freedom!

[@justinakers3196]

What a hero....

[@VoicesofHistory]

Thank you Justin. Please feel free to share. I invite you to my website to view a special 3 minute video of an upcoming film about my work. God bless you!! WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com

[@christophermead9800]

My grandfather fought in the pacific theater. His story is lost to history. Unfortunately he would never share his story in his years after the war. He passed away at the age of 50. I really appreciate what you’re doing Larry. I want to learn about what my grandfather lived through and was apart of. Your interviews are as close as I can get. Thanks you!

[@VoicesofHistory]

So well said and true, Chris. Many of my viewers are understanding better what their loved ones went through in war through my stories. God bless you!!

[@barneydi2783]

Great job Larry - Lloyds and incredible story of American Courage- way to honor our WWII veterans - the GREATEST GENERATION THAT EVER LIVED. My father fought at Okinawa in the 1st Marine Division. They saved our country and freedom from 2 VERY EVIL regimes. Ill contact you to donate .🇺🇸

[@VoicesofHistory]

Barney, so happy to know you. Your support means a lot to me, my work and the families of my Veterans. God bless you and stay tuned!!

[@ottoso7044]

Thanks Frank. Lloyd's is one of the best stories I have. God bless you!!

[@scottdahl3975]

Amazing men and story. Thanks to Boyd, Lloyd and the other vets that gave it their all …

[@jjducharme1]

By far one of the interesting stories I have ever heard, but also one of the hardest. Thank you doing more than your country asked.

[@VoicesofHistory]

Thank you for watching my interview with Lloyd. He was an extraordinary man!! I hope you are subscribed. God bless you!! WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com

[@ALMERICA.]

This man paid so much for something we really don't appreciate anymore. Truly saddening. Thank you for your sacrifice, R.I.P.

[@VoicesofHistory]

One of my most gripping stories.

[@jballssquirrel3324]

Sure it's very difficult but thanks for sharing your testimony

[@barrelninja-vv2wv]

Amazing!

[@markmcintosh7095]

We are looking at the cost of war during this interview. I hope the young generations watch this.

[@carlv8168]

Unfortunately and sadly, the younger generation doesn't care. It's really sad that the adults in their lives didn't put enough emphasis on promoting patriotism and the price of freedom into the younger generation's lives. God bless Lloyd for his sacrifice and service to country.

[@VoicesofHistory]

Our younger generation is not learning about freedom. They have no idea the cost for freedom. We MUST show them these stories. That is why I am reaching out to you and others to help me tell their stories. God bless you Mark!!

[@cerny4444]

My gosh, what can you say after watching this? 😢

[@BigDog-xj8ol]

Thank you for your service!! Such a moving story, can’t imagine.

[@wetblanket1977]

🇺🇸 Loyd Lewis is an American hero as well as his brother. This man has seen and gone through more than anyone ive ever heard of. Thank you for preserving our freedoms.

[@VoicesofHistory]

Blessings my friend. One of my most favorite and powerful qripping interviews. Can you even imagine? We owe these Veterans a debt we could never repay. God bless you!!

[@jefflarson95]

Pretty intense interview. God help mend these broken souls.

[@AteUpByAnts]

semper fi

[@edwardhopf2654]

What a amazing story. Thank you for your service. God bless!

[@crusader4273]

This one was a tear jerker for sure. God bless Lloyd Lewis and his family. Boyd & Lloyd Rip 🕊️

[@shawnnadams7752]

6 of my uncles serviced in ww2. All from Provo Utah

[@1924ab]

God bless that brave man, my father was also in the pacific theatre.

[@clintoneal]

It was very hard holding back the tears! Our Nation is Blessed because of the brave services of the men and women who served and paid the ultimate sacrifice!

[@Steve7318]

An amazing story, very real and with a bit of humor added. Thank you for your service.

[@tammyguerrero5613]

Such an amazing story. Thank you Sir, for your service and sacrifices. I'm so very proud to have been lucky enough to hear your story. Thank you, again Larry, for bringing us so many of these stories. Thank you all, from the bottom of a grateful American heart.

[@billg125]

Yet another terrific interview Larry. What remarkable men; words fail me! I am so much an admirer of the one common thread that exists with all your veterans & that is their patriotism & humility.

[@markstevens3575]

What a true warrior thank you for your service and that of your family

[@robertthompson8234]

A true Devil Dog!

[@ALLGODSDIE]

I had to come back and re-watch this one. I think things are hard for me right now, with my wife passing away at 47, 3 months ago. If this man made it threw all that hell, then I can try my best to make it threw my hell. This man is the strongest person I've ever seen or heard in my 48 years on this planet.

[@jarheadlife]

Semper Fi! Wonderful man and great to hear his story.

[@Locoapache3]

Semper Fi Always Faithful

[@truckingwithmatt3292]

What a riveting story. Respect

[@brendahart9930]

Although my Father passed years ago, I wish he would have talked about being on Iwo Jima. He was 4th Marine division, I have all of his papers, photos, and books, but did not know anything about his experiences. I wish that he did, would have made me feel closer to him.

[@johnmaltese3432]

Amazing story!

[@Mosey410]

Thank you sir . My Pop Pop said several times men cracked under the pressure. Crossing the Roer River and Stavlot with mass artillery barrages German 88s and the rocket pods (screaming meamies)He said after several campaigns the old timers were almost all gone . Once from the Army Air Core bombing during the break out from Saint Loe they took mass casualties both times they started their advance the bombs fell short. His unit also found the executed American prisoners at Malmendy. Most of the old timers excepted that sooner or later your number would come up so you might as well do the best you can till then. My Pop was the sweetest old man you’d ever wanna know , he was never the same after the war , so I’m told. I thank God for him and all those who sacrificed and endured so much to beat back the the Axis .

[@VoicesofHistory]

Bob, hank you for watching my interview with Lloyd. He is an extraordinary man. I hope you are subscribed. God bless you!! WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com

[@paulsuprono7225]

Hard nights - almost as if you're in action, again 💀🇺🇸

[@roycolglazier1061]

Where is this gentleman's CMOH????

[@VoicesofHistory]

Yes, my thoughts exactly.

[@IamME-h5w]

My dad was part of the 21st Regiment, 3rd Marine Division. He served on Bougainville, Guam and Iwo Jima islands. He was in communications, I assume in the rear area, which is probably why he survived without a scratch. He talked to me _(his only son)_ *VERY LITTLE* about the experience, and it was only because I ended up with his discharge papers when he passed that I was able to piece what I have together. Looking back? I wish I would have joined the Marines, because there wasn't a Marine (young or old) that he wouldn't talk to. I _'came of age'_ as we were pulling out of Vietnam, so I'm sure I would have survived the war, probably not even going overseas.

[@fattyhaggs356]

And now they disrespect the flag. Breaks my heart. For the Republic. Let Freedom Ring.

[@jamesomalley4556]

So sad !

[@Glory_inthe_3rd77]

I'm glad this guy made it home but strength has nothing to do with a bomb hitting you square at that point it does not matter how strong you are this man survived because the bomb did not hit him it hit someone else and anything other than that is speculation but I do know that God ( Jesus ) does protect and at the same time keeps his word that we all have our time. ( no matter a persons beliefs..... feelings do not change reality )

[@antonrehling1966]

Guys forced into it that survived. It is that simple

[@VoicesofHistory]
