What a man,what a man......

[@VoicesofHistory]

AMEN Stephen!! One of my best interviews. What a perspective of war from the very sand and beach he fought on as a young almost 80 years ago.

[@edwardh1591]

Thank you for your service. Rest In Peace! Great interview

[@VoicesofHistory]

Thank you brother Ed. I hope you're doing well considering the circumstances. This is one of my most fondest memories and stories. Returning to a battlefield with an old warrior. Incredible. Please help me share it. Thank you.

[@VoicesofHistory]

Ray, probably my most favorite interview of all time. Walking out onto Omaha Beach in France with a World War II hero and Warrior for the first time since he fought there as a teenager. The rest is history. God bless you!!

[@chrisjanzen6082]

Hu is a gem.

[@VoicesofHistory]

Amen Chris. It remains a mystery to my why so few people watch my WWII stories. Sad to me actually. I suppose I have yet to find my WWII audience. i appreciate the fact that you and others do see the importance of these stories.

[@stevenrisso5535]

Thank you so much for this video, your work keeps getting and better. He was quite a man, God's Blessings Larry.

[@VoicesofHistory]

Many thanks Steven. Hu's story was amazing and very emotional for both of us. This was his first time back to the battlefield where he fought June 6, 1944. I love this story. I look forward to working with you.

[@wetblanket1977]

What a great man, Thank you Hu 🇺🇸

[@VoicesofHistory]

Thank you for watching Hu's interview from Normandy. Please share.

[@jamesbrewer-lk8te]

I Salute you Sir. Thank you.

[@VoicesofHistory]

Glad you got to watch this James. This is one of my most compelling and vivid interviews with an old warrior back on his old battlefield. It was a great honor walking out on Omaha beach with him that day. He had not been back since the war when he was a teenager.

[@stevenrisso5535]

Larry, Bless you for having me sponsor this video. What a great man

[@pappy017]

[@VoicesofHistory]

MY FAVORITE INTERVIEW!!

[@epicdudesproduction]

I listen to your videos via the Bluetooth in my truck while at work, it really helps to inspire me to be the best American I can, thank you for all that you’ve done, I wish you could’ve met my grandpa he was a quick whip, you would’ve enjoyed speaking with him!

[@VoicesofHistory]

Thank you so much for your kind words. God bless you. Are you a truck driver? I'd love to share my Radio station also with you and other drivers: Voices of History Radio larrycappetto.com

[@TheGainfather]

What a incredible account of his landing experience. It's like he's still right there on the beach. You can tell he's still reliving it right there. He already saw combat in Africa, truly an American hero. The greatest generation will live on forever. Thank you for your service and sacrifices!

[@donnamarsh3474]

That picture of him in the sand...I always figured that that man died there. Great to hear this story! Amazing.

[@VoicesofHistory]

Donna, I got to now Hu. I have a full 90 minute interview of him 3 months before he passed away in 2011. This particular interview on the beach is one of most dearest. I love this interview. Glad you go to watch it.

[@donnamarsh3474]

@@VoicesofHistory wow, a 90 minute interview with him! Would love to see that!

[@aaronyoust7680]

Thank you Hu, incredible to listen to your story 80 years later.

[@VoicesofHistory]

One of my most favorite stories if not the most favorite. Such an honor to walk with him out on that beach which he had not been to in over 60 years since he fought there. And, yes now, 80 years later, what an honor, what a privilege to hear him speak.

[@DavidMott-r4f]

My father was in the 1st division 16th infantry! On Omaha Beach in North Africa and Sicily Belgium and france! He won a silver star,Bronze star and NY state conspicuous service cross! They helped save the world! 🇺🇸

[@ALLGODSDIE]

thank you for your service, sir Thank you, Larry, for your service. A lot of people don't even know to this day, America owns the air space over Germany.

[@Lordestroyer]

Real man.

[@Pheebs77]

Would have been nice if you asked him about how he felt seeing the Capra photo and if he recognised himself in it? It must be very strange to see sunbathers, families and dogs relaxing in the same spots as where so many bodies and blood and injured men lay, but that's what this man and many others fought for 🥰🥰🥰

[@Lordestroyer]

My grandfather was off the coast on the USS Augusta. An escort ship, heavy cruiser. He was a gunners mate. Bradley watched the invasion on his ship.

[@TimAnderson-wf4he]

My grandfather was part of the 1st infantry division 16th infrantry regiment 3rd battalion under command of captian John Armellino's

[@Stax-ht9md]

If not for Hu Riley, and the generation that supported the removal of WWII's Axis of Evil, we would be speaking another language and living Orwell's 1984. Thank you to those that served at home and abroad.

[@VoicesofHistory]

I agree with that Chet 100%. Hu was one of my most favorite Veterans. I actually have a second interview I did with him several months before he passed away in 2011. If you would be interested in sponsoring that story let me know.

[@sportsfan205]

These guys were tough my dad was on Luzon with the 1/27 25 Infantry . he was awarded two Bronze stars and I never knew until after he died, Thing is we had the same 1/27 pulling security for us.I was around all these units big red one First Car 25 infantry Got to work with all even 5th Special forces. My dad never talked about the war .I went Vietnam when I was 17 spent my whole Army tour there. My dad was a tough guy. Just like this guy. The one thing I say about fallen soldiers is .They are "FORVER YOUNG.

[@VoicesofHistory]

God bless your Father's memory. Thank you for watching and commenting. God bless you!!
