@gaelic1of9 is absolutely correct. Boyington was correct as the salute of a MOH is traditional, not required and as the question was phrased, he was truthful. Which did manage to throw the bloodhounds off a bit...LOL

The other two guys didn't even look like him. My Step-Dad was lucky enough to interview him once and got an autographed copy of his book. It's long gone now. I feel sad about that. I read it when I was a teenager and was so impressed with him.

You know, that's funny. My wife and I knew him in sight. The only thing I can figure is that it was before his resurgence of celebrity and the 50's did not have the visual media we do today.

I think I read that book when I was in High School, 30 + years ago...good read. Thanks for watching.

Pappy is an American hero.

Those communist student council members at the University of Washington who voted against a memorial to Pappy because he was too "white" can go fuck themselves.

Awesome!! This is another reason I love YouTube! Where else can you see stuff like this!!

[iParatrooper]

That's awesome! Thanks for posting. I saw Pappy at an airshow when I was a kid.

Please note the question was phrased with the words "must salute" , thus his answer is absolutely correct. Neither my Uncle ..a Navy pilot nor I ,a FMF Corpsman ,would be required to salute...but to have failed to do so would have tarnished us...and speaking of tarnish.... It is my opinion that the University of Washington needs to have all federal loans eliminated...if they have so little regard for the hundreds of thousands lives that gave them a country ....they are terrorists in the making

A true American hero, he fought hard and well for us and our future, like I said, A true American hero, God bless you for your devotion tp preserve liberty!

@RichardHammond11 So did I. What got me was that for 2 wrong votes they got $500 bucks. In later versons of the show, especially hosted by Gary Moore, you got $500 ONLY if ALL the votes were wrong: I think it was $50 bucks per wrong vote otherwise.

I met "Pappy" on July 4th (1981) @ the Bellingham (WA) airshow. To this day a treasured momento is the print entitled "Pappy's 1st Kill" that he signed for me (it hangs on the wall above my computer & illustrates his time in combat w/ the 1st Pursuit Squadron A.V.G.). A hero to all who love & cherish freedom!

@amoswt

If he was leaning on a tent post it was prolly cause he was drunk, Boyington was a hard drinker.;
