He looked so much different and it was only a 4 year difference. Regardless, he has the best stories I've ever listened to! God Bless you and your family! Your service is greatly appreciated!
Thanks gengeronimous for posting this remarkable interview series. We are grateful for all these "known" and "unknown" veterans. We are here today because of them. They all have sacrificed theirs yesterday for ours today. May long live them and may God bless all of them.
I had no idea how much a person can change in a short period of time. What great information about the time of occupation during the start of the Korean War. I had no idea. I just loved it. Post all you have, both of you.
Just watched the video again...the 30 poubds may be gone but the voice, smile and the twinkle in his eyes is still there keep up the good work you two the videos are great....Hope you feel better real soon Les and Merry Christmas Les and Ginger....
Les I`m in Antioch California a stones throw away from camp stoneman in Pittsburg California...I`ve heard many stories about camp stoneman in its hay day from all my relitives...
thats amazing!!! he looks decades younger in '02. he looks his age now but back then he looks and sounds like a 70 yr old man! best of health to him and your family!!!
From one soldier to another....GOD BLESS YOU SIR! I'm a veteran from a different generation, but I still respect you as an officer in the armed forces. I would follow you anywhere sir!
ginger, thanks for posting these vids theyre amazing. les i hope you feel better soon sir, your truley an amazing person. hope you both have a lovely christmas.
Les I hope you are feeling better soon, I look forward to seeing you again and hearing your wonderful stories. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas, and may God continue to bless you and your family.
Awesome, Awesome video. You have a goldmine of memories here. Please give Les my best and let him know we are all thinking about him and wishing him well. Thanks to you Gingeronymous for posting this. Anxiously awaiting more!

Thanks for sharing another great story, looking forward to part 11, hope you are surrounded by all you family at Christmas like you were at the last reunion, take care, John
You can tell Les was a very handsome man. He still has that look about him and has the personality where you can tell he was a heartbreaker in his younger years :):)
Thank you, best wishes to you also. Dad is feeling better every day, and eventually there won't be any stopping him with the stories, as usual. -Gingeronymous

i loved watching you watching him watching himself! haha
holy god the metamorphosis is amazing! he is a completely different man, even his voice (but its still recognizable)
i hope he is more relaxed with the breath shortage issue.
great story, really
i love it when he says "lo and behold"
he is so energetic here
really you should compile all the videos and make a dvd. they would be a very valuable video for homes and schools across the world...
big fan.
