Mr Luckadoo, Thank your wife for her support and encouragement for you to continue your history. We need men like you in this world. God bless you and yours!!!!!!

My Daddy was on the ground and he cussed the 'fly boys' 101st because they always got the glory. He was a cook and his nickname was Preacher because he cussed so much.

[@yduronerom6380]

My big brother was a soldier in the One Oh Worst Airborne Division as they call it, those who aren't one of the 101st that is.

Thank you John for your service. My father as a kid kept trying to join the Army Air force at age 13. Drove for them until 17, then joined the Air force. He gave 20 years of his life to this country, he loved it. Passed away almost 20 years after retirerment. The Vietnam War used agent orange to defoliate the jungle, caused cancers. He loved his country always told us kids to love this country BUT never trust this goverment. I'm so glad he is not here to see what has become of USA. Shame on all of us.

The last thing “Lucky” said is to be “United”. I along with many other Catholics are saying a Novena specifically for Our Country until December. This government is so corrupt, so out of hand due to EGOS, I look at it like how in the world did we get here, Biden has split this country in half, along with all this EVIL penetrating this country. Prayer is what I fall on and believe with Faith that a Divine Intervention will occur✝️🙏❤️

[@celestialskye1]

My Dad was in the Mighty 8th Army Air Force in England. He did talk every now and then about the horror's of the planes. I went to the last place he was stationed ~ Chelveston (spelling?) ~ the air field is still there. There's a small church the townspeople built there is also a stained glass that is of a B17, the GI's donated their pews from the base. I signed the guest book for my Dad, a very emotional time for me. I feel/felt honoured. Dad had saved parts of rements of leather and sheep skins to make a jacket.

[@susanharris8406]

I rarely comment, I just needed to say how moved I was by this man, and his story. Every person who had parents from that generation who fought in that war ,just know how great they were, and had to be pressed to talk about it. My dad was just my dad until he opened up about his war time experiences. I was humbled, he would have been 100 this year. Bless him

I highly recommend reading Lucky's book "Damn Lucky." It goes much more in depth than he did here, and his story is much more harrowing than revealed in this interview.

Wow! What a hero

[@janetpuckett1750]

Wow! What a interview! My father was a B-17 pilot in WWII. He was in the 8th Air Force 379th BG. He was about the same age as Major Luckadoo, Although he did go to college in a program that probably was a precursor to today's ROTC. He had full training so when he went to Europe, he was a 1st Lieutenant.Still, he was only 21. He enlisted for some of the same reasons, and suffered some of the same problems afterword. He and his crew flew 25 missions over Germany. They were shot down on that last mission and were German POW's for 8 mths, in Luft Stalag 1. I have come to understand that he had a raving case of PTSD.

My dad was a dust bowl Okie. Two of his brothers were already in the service and dad was in the CCCs. The middle sons went army. When Dad was old enough he went to join the Marines. The recruiter was out to lunch, the Airborne recruiter called him over and he joined the 11th Airborne. He liked the uniform. When I asked him why he enlisted he said "I'm was just a country boy who doesn't speak English all that well, and I didn't want to learn how to speak Japanese."

This has to be one of the most humble and intelligent people I have ever heard interviewed. He is 10x the person that I could ever be. please watch!

[@darrensteuber4994]

My high school algebra teacher talked about his war experiences every VE day. He was on the ground crew for B 17s in England. He told Us how they had to remove the dead and repair the planes that returned. He said that some days, only one or two planes would return. He said they learned to not make friends with the flight crews. He would tell Us how they readied the planes and watched them take off early in the mornings. The planes circled above to gain altitude and get into formation before crossing the English Channel. Later, the ground crews waited for them to return and readied for emergency landings and injured flight crew members. They counted the planes as they came into view. He thought his students should know the history from his personal experience. My Dad was in the Navy (Pacific), and two Uncles were in Europe serving in the Army.

That's why I can't understand why we'd ever as a country give up any of our industrial production capabilities to anyone, let alone China. The public, the men, women & children that worked building ammo, planes, tanks.etc. were the key. That's one reason copper,steel, and metals were so important to us. That's why a 1943 copper penny is so rare and valuable. Most were made of steel. I've had many steel 1943 pennies, but copper was used for war. The very thing you need in case of war is manufacturing capacity, oil, fuel reserves, and people. G-od bless those kids, a generation of unlikely warriors. ⛪️🇺🇲

[@maureencallahan2471]

Such a great comment Keep fighting

[@JoeFreeman-y2d]

The reason you dont understand it is because you dont understand that the decision was made by a relatively few very greedh and ruthless people who discovered back in the 1970s that corporations could lower their labor costs and avoid corporate and personal taxes by off shoring manufacturing to countries with subsistance level labor costs and sesesquation of profits off shore. They also discovered that by bribing politicians with campaign donations via lobbyists and stock market tips they could get tax laws changed and tariffs avoided on the imports coming from the shithole countries they were doing business in. After all why BREAK the law if you can simply get the law CHANGED for your convenience. This is an over simplification but in general its what happened. An addition plus was that the corporations didnt have to worry about labor or pollution laws either. After all the third world countries were shit holes anyway so it didnt matter that they became grossly polluted shitholes. Outta sight outta mind. China is a wonderful example of this.

What an honorable man. It’s so sad that so many young men today would tuck their tails and run rather than defend our country. I can remember when young men looked up to and aspired to be like this gentlemen here. They wanted to be courageous and heroes too just like Mr. Luckadoo. It takes a very special kind of person to literally sign your life away in order to proudly go and fight a war, whether present or future, to defend America’s freedoms and dreams. Thank you sir, for loving this country enough to stand up in the face of horrors untold even at the risk of dying. That’s courage. REAL courage

[@pwit4186]

Yes. And then we taught boys they were bad for using sticks as guns, running around, and being masculine. We made them sit in desks all day long, drugged them, and convinced them they are girls. It's easy to blame the young men today for what they currently are, but the reality is they were shaped that way by every generation since the "great generation." Young men need to be TAUGHT WHY we celebrate DDay. They need to be TAUGHT about good vs evil. They need to know WHERE their strength comes from. And it's not just the job of a school teacher or pastor. Parents need to be PARENTS again as their FIRST job and stop outsourcing it. Every generation alive right now has the responsibility to change the trajectory we are on. Until then....

What a wonderful man! He's one year older than my parents were. My dad was in a bomb disposal squad during WWII, so he landed at Normandy a couple of days after D Day. He never spoke about his war experience. I'd ask him, but he always refused to answer. I asked my mom about what it was like but she didn't want to talk about it, either. I asked Mama about all the letters they used to write to each other and she said she'd burned them all because they were just too private. My dad died in my arms from a heart attack the day after my mom died. Later on, while going through Mama's things, I found one letter that Daddy had written to her during the war. It was so beautiful and loving, that i can understand why she couldn't bring herself to burn that one. I cherish it. It means the world to me. My parents were so special and I was very close to them, and that letter reminds me of how special they were. ❤

My dad was a Navy WWII vet as were his 2 other brothers. One of his brothers, Paul Raymond Pfau, was Captain of a B24 bomber and was shot down over Bucharest, Hungary on April 13, 1944, 80 years ago yesterday. One month ago, I received an email from a young Hungarian writer who has been researching my Uncle Paul’s crash and is also writing a book about it. It’s touching that someone far from our family here in America, 80 years later cares so much. He found me by searching the internet and then I put him in contact with my brother, Paul R.Pfau II. He has even discovered the German pilot who shot our Uncle’s plane down, by the way called The Miss America.

[@CarlEvans-t6h]

Almost 24 years ago, I was invited as guest of honor at a Uboat vets reunion. It was in Bad Camberg-which is near Frankfurt. 10-U 181 veterans out of 12 were there. The rest too sick to travel. They torpedoed my grandfather's ship, the SS Fort Lee. My grandfather came to America and joined the army in WWI and fought as a Doughboy in France. Anyway, that reunion was quite an experience and I befriended several of those vets. Back then, you could see the sad looks of being betrayed by their own gov't. A few of the vets I met there and along the way, all said that Germany is no longer German.

[@goodnews6823]

Lucky reminds me of my granddad. He landed in Normany in the Army - never a word. Then my husband came along. Southern, in the Army and the stories he shared. I remember family listening at the door as Grandad and hubby were talking. I miss my granddad and proud he was the example I had to find a husband.

BEST interview I've EVER seen, hands down!!! This should be shown in EVERY classroom across the Nation! I'm saving this one!! God Bless John Luckadoo - THANK YOU for your service & sacrifices on our behalf!

Thank you for all of the sacrifices and experiences that you endured! And God bless you for sharing and teaching those of us that know hardly any sacrifice or hardship.

What's happening now is happening because there are so few left.

Whats happening now is because Columbia invited Marxists into the American mainstream in the 30s. McCarthy was right, lol.

[@dieag8273]

I'm not sure what has happened to this country. I believe that some parts of our government and unknown others have conspired to weaken us from within.

[@Despiser25]

@@dieag8273 The SOCIALISTS want to destroy America as founded and replace it with Communism/Fascism. Its been obvious to everyone but the leftwits for 60 years now.

Thank you Glenn, this is a conversation that more people need to hear. We have grown soft as a society. John Luckadoo is indeed a true hero, and his voice needs to be heard today more than ever. Thank you John Luckadoo for your contribution to our freedom. God Bless you.

Sad so sad.

We do need to learn from them! We all need to buck up and take care of our country!

[@mikebrown9850]

This puts the exclamation mark on why this was the greatest generation! I have a 99 year old veteran infantryman that I see monthly who turned 19 in a German POW concentration camp. I always let him do all the talking and I’ve learned much from him. These brave men and women are the reason we’re not speaking German. Many thanks, honor and praise to these heroes! 🇺🇸

My dad was a B17 radio operator and gunner. When I was little morse code was a second language. Only recently came to appreciate I'm lucky to be here.
