"valley of flaming death scene" - John Wayne movie clip

[zipper179]

Yes, it's 'FIGHTING SEABEES'(1944).. Brings back many a happy Saturdays as a kid. We all wanted to be John Wayne...!!

I'm glad we didn't have the same liberals in charge then. Those seabees and or Marines would have been charged with something.

That's when Democrats were not socialists, appeasers, and cowards.

[bluediver2]

you are right plus the sissy generals we have today are good for nothing

@TiminPhoenix I don't know if there is a thumbs up limit, but I hit it about forty times when I read this! Excellent! No truer words ever spoken! 

[TiminPhoenix]

@volsncards Thank you Sir.

[longr8nge]

for USS Enterprise CV-6 buffs, the last minutes of 'The Fighting Seabees' possibly shows the 'Big E' sailing into Pearl Harbor in the background of this 1944 film..

Best film of the marines. There were a lot of brave men lost at Iwo Jima.

Yes, this is from The Fighting Seabees. I, myself, was a Seabee. This film is almost required viewing in Seabee Technical School out of tradition.

[squirehendrix]

Yea not Iwo Jima...

[gogoso12]

wow that was pretty good for the time.

[nawthkaliner]

This is indeed from The Fighting Seabees.

[gcciv68]

This is not the Sands of Iwo Jima! This from the movie The Fighting Sea Bees!

[wrcoe]

Perhaps you are correct. I'll revise the description after viewing each movie again.
