My grandpa was in the rear gun tub of his AA gun during this battle. He was on the LST USS Romulus. He said that Okinawa was the only time that he was truly terrified. My English grandpa was on the HMS Coventry, and saw heavy action in the Mediterranean while running convoys to Malta. He died not long after the war, so we dont have his stories. This type of combat would be terrifying. You cant run, and there is no hiding. You can only throw everything that you have at the bastards aytacking you.

Are these videos public domain?

he died about two months later, imagine if he died before getting to the show or writing the page on the news. A massive piece of history would have only been in writing.

well... new i know how they got those giant guns around!

This is crazy. He's on television, and he was alive when the wild west was still a thing.

Don't worry, donald trump also came from germany😂

Wow…he was five years old and had a premonition that something bad was going to happen in Washington. His nightmares about the assassination continued into his old age. Absolutely incredible!

The host talks for him.

He would've also lived through Garfield's and McKinley's assassinations although he probably saw those on the newspaper he was at the theatre where Lincoln got killed which is crazy to think about.

I know that everyone is talking about Mr. Seymour, but the host of this episode was very articulate. I understand it's a bit of a strange compliment but I think it's the best way to describe him.

This is incredible

There were Allied Air raids on Jap bases in Arrakan. P47's with depth charges on the pylons. I do not recall where this was. Also: I read Jap soldiers in the galleries of Fort Dufferin would not surrender. Solution: read the riot act then roll drums of pol down. Follow up with incendiary grenades and frags. War.

The country did well under Teddy's leadership, The economy was good and equality was a top priority. His cousin Franklin would also become president though during a turbulenent time

I am honored to get to see this mans face and hear his voice.

Aw i hope his eye got better

I feel like it’s scripted. The people were guessing the right things right away. Just my opinion because nobody would’ve guessed this right out of their brains. It’s impossible.

Bravery is not defined by being strong and fighting but rather being scared for dear life but choosing to keep on fighting. And bravery is shown by many during world war 2 and other wars, soldiers and civilians. But in my opinion, the most bravest would be the kamikaze pilots in world war 2. Who were unbelievably scared while approaching enemy warships, but choosing to ram their planes into the enemy to cause the most damage. They knew they were going to die, they knew they will never return home, and they chose to go on with it, to serve the emperor and make the biggest sacrifice for Japan.

The fact that he’s seen Lincoln when he was alive, the invention of the light bulb, 2 world wars, the invention of the car, and SO MANY OTHER THINGS YALL THIS MAN HAS SEEN HISTORY IN THE FLESH AND LIVED IT!!

This is amazing. Sadly the link to the article mentioned does not work.

....i have nightmares today should Biden or Harris get in for a second term. The worst administration ever.

It’s crazy to me that my parents were not only alive, but 16 year old teenagers no less, and could have watched him live on tv talking about witnessing Lincoln’s assassination. Doesn’t seem possible.

Yes our country is very young.

Crazy I am here in 2024, watching a tv show in the 1950s, interviewing a 96 year old man who witnessed Lincoln being assassinated in 1865….what a world we live in that we can witness this wow

It's possible this man's dad could have seen or met George Washington!

USA número uno..

Wow

We can now all say we've witnessed a attempted assassination of our president.

Is that Lady Gaga?!

I just looked this guy up and turns out Mr. Seymour has the same birthday as me. It's crazy to think that I was born 146 years later.

All these young adults here are as old or older then this man now or they've passed on

Who's here because of Trump

I'm taking a shit watching this. technology!

Nice timing for recommendation!

0:41

Wow

To be fair he was 5 when Lincoln got shot so it is not like he remembers anything , still crazy

How do magnets work?

I like how this was recommended by the algorithm.

The most competent allied amphibious invasion of WWII.

He signed autographs and answered fan mail too. Great man on and off the field.

0:24 just casually completing the assembly task amidst corpses. Man WW2 was no joke.

80$ in 1956 money is 923.73$ in 2024 money😮

first one in 2024

I still cant comprehend how long he lived, and the amount of stuff he lived through.

Reminds me of the presidential debate

My father was there, he took colour movie film. I did see it quite a few times when I was young. He passed away in 1981.

Samuel Seymour sounds like a person from the 1800s.

Germany saved western europe from communism.

A 96 year old man falls down the stairs and injures himself and STILL goes on TV. They do not make em like they used to

Just looked him up, his birthday was march 28th, 1860. I was born on march 28th in the late 2000s, crazy to think he was born 164 years ago as of 2024.
