Guys, you gotta do yourself a big favor and carve out a hour of your time and watch this documentary. If you call yourself a Patriot and lover of Freedom, this documentary will not only grab ahold of your heart but also piss you off to no end…yeah, this show involves your Government turning it’s back on it’s Veterans….surprise, surprise, but it also has a hero in Leon Cooper and a happy ending.
I felt a deep sense of pride after watching this show, yeah I was still pissed off at the Government, but that never changes nowadays!! It did my heart good to know that men like Leon still exist; Men that still know what DUTY and HONOR literally mean! Men that are not afraid to be SELF-RELIANT, and take the bull by the balls when they need too. You know it occurred to me in the middle of this movie: LEON EARNED THE RIGHT TO CUSS YOU GUYS OUT FOR NOT DOING YOUR JOBS!! SO GET OFF YOUR ASS!!
The sad part about it, is men like Leon are dying off in record numbers, and there are not many good candidates for his replacement…as CO’s we gotta do something about that. Let’s all FIRST Step up and Be the Men that we know we need to be and SECOND, raise our Kids to take our place. It’s the right thing to do… that what Leon would tell you.
BTW, You can also watch Return to Tarawa: The Leon Cooper Story for the complete story of Leon’s FIRST Mission to Tarawa.
Support the continued efforts of worthwhile charities like the National League of POW/MIA Families to repatriate all those gallant soldiers listed as MIA and who lie in unmarked graves who fought in EVERY AMERICAN FOREIGN WAR… LET’S BRING THEM HOME WHERE THEY BELONG! LEAVE NO MAN BEHIND!
Stay Armed and Stay Dangerous!
Read about some of my experiences during my three years in the Pacific, “The War in the Pacific,” “90 Day Wonder-Darkness Remembered,” “Remembering Private Lamb.” all by Leon Cooper, and all in Amazon books. I was a landing craft officer, taking part in six major battles, and I saw hundreds of guys fall under Japanese gunfire as they left my boat-no doubt some are MIA-a sad chapter in our nation’s history-more than 80,000 members of the Greatest Generation are MIA.
Thank You Mr. Cooper for your reply. Thank you for your Service!! I am a huge fan of your Netflix Show and the Cause you represent. Please everybody go to Mr. Coopers Blog and Follow him!!
May be of interest. I’m to be honored at the opening day of the Chicago White Sox ball game for my WWII service, also for my continuing efforts in bringing home the remains of some of the members of The Greatest Generation who died during WWII, but more than 80,000 till lie where they fell, in unmarked graves, and are classified as “missing in action” (MIA), which is all their next of kin know.
