They came home, got married, went to school, got jobs, bought cars, had kids, built houses and lived the lives of Americans. May we all do likewise.
Not any more. We are living in Socialized Communist regime. America is gone. The American dream is gone. Most young couples can't afford a house.
All hail the memory of Taffy 3. RIP
What an amazing story of courage. God bless them all.
It's the US navy's finest hour. But also Halsey took the bait. But that was his nature. He was aggressive and the Japanese knew that.
They weren’t called the greatest generation for nothing. Thank you for saving us all!
Yamato's gross tonnage alone outweighed all the ships in Taffy 3 combined.
Just thank you for your narratives they are inspiring. From a Brit who used to work for the Royal Navy. All our heroes should never be forgotten . many regards
Excellent re-telling of an amazing amount of courage.
Thank you for your work and time on bringing one of the biggest show of valor and guts by the US navy, RIP to all the Taffy 3 heroes that gave their lives in this battle and eternal glory to all those who fought the battle.
Truly well done! The entire series has served to put actual people and places in battles recognized from dad, uncles, Scout leaders and parents of school mates of fellow 'boomers'. For the first time, battles and the map blend together in understanding. I listen while zooming around with google earth to locate places familiar in memory but never placed on a map.
Some of the bravest and most valiant men ever.
Very true indeed
Brilliant series. Thank you for bringing it to us.
Sir so nice of you for the kind words 🙏 your support and encouragement means the world to us 💗
I don't understand why Halsey was not charged for not covering his area during Leyte Battle, how many lives could have been saved if he had done his assigned job
Just saying as a Navy vet from the 70's. With Halsey, there is the man, the legend, then there is reality. There is this "mistake" @ Leyte Gulf, there is the typhoon disaster. During the war, he was portrayed as a bulldog that didn't back down, yet at times, he could be looked at as a Japanese ally, with some of his actions.
@@brucelytle1144 My Cousin spoke with disdain for Halsey. His son's godfather was on th U.S.S. Johnson and he didnt make it back. He visited the site twice first time was to respects hid BestFriend and the second time was as a hponorr guard for two men who asked to have their spread over the spot the roberts went down. He was on the Washington which sailed Hulsay north
@@phillipchappell6013 There were a lot of men lost their lives because of his decisions, agreed. The LPO in charge of the first engineroom I worked in, had a wife whose father worked in the forward fire room of the Johnston (DD557) who was killed when one of the first shells hit it. We were on the Johnston (DD-821).
@@brucelytle1144 Yea from the story I heard nout My cousin's BF. He was alive and close to getting from below The Chief that knew cousin him, Said he had helped get to injured out thru the hatch and some other men too. Someone yelled at him so he turned his head for minute turned back said all three men that were there were gone. he assumed went either went looking for more people or another way out or both. He nerver saw them again.
@@phillipchappell6013 When on the Johnston, while in the shipyard in Philly, I got a few chances to go on a bunch of Fletcher, Sumner and Gearing class destroyers in the mothball fleet, scrounging parts off the , before they towed them out for target practice. We would cross "The Sullivan's", saluting a non existing flag and OOD requesting permission to cross. Yes, seriously. Ya had to pay respect! When I listen to these posts, I can really picture in my mind, what these people were experiencing. I would always wonder about all the people that had manned those ships, what they dealt with. My ship never fired a shot in anger, yet we all felt a duty to uphold the name Johnston. I would always think about how I would respond to that type of stress.
We had to wake my Dad by kissing his forehead, or he would jump to his feet.
What a terrific segment - wonderful !
Nothing like coming home within hours of the family being told one is missing. When I was a company commander my first sergeant was declared missing in action. Took months to get his pay restored.
If he was listed as MIA, his pay should have never stopped. Somebody seriously dropped the ball there.
Task force 34B might well have been outgunned. The IJN destroyers had lots of torpedoes and knew how to use them.
The tall white building with a pointed cap is the Smith tower in Seattle Wa.
Yes, very true. The Smith Tower opened to the public July 4th, 1914. Photo was probably taken near Harbor Island.
Leyte Gulf was a truly insane showdown. Yamato and Musashi were both present at this battle, which would have outclassed the forces they faced almost on their own.
Lest we forget.

Sir thank you so much for your kind support ❤️ really appreciate it
It wasn't the size of Taffy 3's escorts in the fight--it was the size of the fight in Taffy 3's escorts. And then there were all those annoying aircraft--armed for close air support of ground forces, combat air patrol, and anti-submarine work. No wonder Japanese forces retreated.
When you think of how automatically and immediately and aggressively the captains of the small destroyers and destroyer escorts CHARGED DIRECTLY INTO THAT JAPANESE TASK GROUP....a few destroyers against YAMATO, the other battleship, cruisers and so many destroyers.... It is hard to imagine a POSSIBLE greater moment of gallantry and heroism....and knowing sacrifice. Those little American ships ALL jumped on a "grenade" in order to try to save the other ships...and knew what the outcome WOULD BE....as all real heros like that do.
I love this channel! Is this a human voice?
