Jocko Podcast 127 with T. Fred Harvey. Hell Yes, I'd Do It Again. Lessons From Iwo.

My uncle T. Fred Harvey passed away yesterday evening at the VA in San Antonio. US World War II Veterans advocate Liberty Phillips and family members were at his side. 98 years of loving this country and serving it anyway he could. We are so proud of him. He was and is the hero in our family.

Very proud of my uncle T. Fred Harvey and his service to the country I love. Proud Marine. Proud American. Proud Comanche Indian.

Jocko and Echo, please interview more World War Two veterans. Time is fleeting and their stories are so valuable. Thank you for these stories. Edit: Thank you

These are the men that saved the world from darkness. Thank you Jocko. They need to be known by the youth of the world.

I still dont understand how these chairs can handle the size of the balls in that room every episode..

Shout out to jocko for letting this man just talk

That's one hell of a woman and mother. To drive 36 hours to bring her son a pistol. God bless her!

Thank you so much for getting ww2 guys on. I want to listen to ww1 guys but they're all gone. You may not realize it but you're recording history. This is one of the few channels im truly proud to be subscribed to.

He needed a pistol for the war, won money in a card game, and bought one...this man is legend...

I realize this video is 2 years old when I write this. That’s a lot of information for an old man to remember. He did a pretty good job. And my hat’s off to Jocko for showing such patience and letting him tell his story. A true gentleman.

There will never be another generation like this one. Ever.

T. Fred Harvey is amazing! I met him in person a few years ago. We got to talking and realized we were both veterans. He kept me company and sat with me while I was waiting to hear how my mother was doing. Amazing man!! Great at storytelling and kept me hooked for hours while my mother underwent brain surgery. He is an amazing soldier, man, and human being! Amazing man! He even graced me with a signed copy of his book! I was blessed with his presence when I needed someone. I couldn’t have met him at a better time. Thank you sir once again and forevermore for your service, kindness, and your humanity! Thank you for being there for me in my time of need as well.

4 hours of military history on the first person. Count me in!

I go to dyalisis 3 times a week. Thanks to podcasts like this and Joe the nurse has to drag me back to reality because I am lost in listening. Wasn't like this when I began the treatment many years ago.

This guy's mom is a legend in her own right.

Now this ladies and gentlemen is a real man! The greatest generation!!

Thank you Jocko for giving men like T. Fred Harvey a place to tell their story. This is our history and it is so important for it to be told and preserved. These men were truly part of the Greatest Generation. Listening to Mr. Harvey reminds me of when my grandfather used to tell me stories about his actions in WWII. I only wish I had thought to record my grandfather's story so I could listen to them now. Thanks Jocko and thank you Mr. Harvey.

What an incredible American. Thank you!
