The GREATEST WARRIOR in American History! He was just 16 years old, only 5 feet 4 inches tall, and weighed barely 110 pounds—so young that his sister had to lie about his age just to get him in the door.

The U.S. Marine Corps rejected him for being too small. So did the Navy and the paratroopers. The Army finally said yes—and Audie Murphy went on to become the Greatest Warrior in American History, the most decorated U.S. combat soldier of World War II, a man who stopped entire German attacks by himself. Check out my full documentary on Audie Murphy and see how a kid everyone turned away became a benchmark for courage under fire. 🇺🇸

This footage captures the moment U.S. Rangers were pinned down in a remote Afghan valley — surrounded, outnumbered, and taking fire from every direction — while American airpower raced in overhead to keep them alive.

April 26, 2017.
Before sunrise, fifty U.S. Army Rangers insert into the Mohmand Valley of eastern Afghanistan to capture or kill one of ISIS’s most dangerous leaders.

The mission is supposed to be fast and precise.

Instead, it explodes into chaos.

Within minutes of landing, the Rangers are ambushed from fortified high ground. Enemy fighters open fire with machine guns, RPGs, and mortars. Fire rains down from above and below. Movement becomes nearly impossible. Every second counts.

They are pinned down. Surrounded. In real danger of being overrun.

Then the call goes out.

Overhead, U.S. Air Force crews divert toward the fight — AC-130 gunships and F-16s pushing hard through the mountains to reach the Rangers in time.

What follows is one of the most intense close air support battles of the war.

Airmen coordinate danger-close strikes while Rangers fight to hold their ground. Bombs and cannon fire land just meters from friendly positions. Timing, precision, and trust are the only things keeping Americans alive.

Against overwhelming odds, the coordination between ground and air begins to turn the fight.

The enemy assault breaks.

The Rangers survive.

And a disaster that should have ended in catastrophe becomes a case study in joint warfare under extreme pressure.

This is the true story of the Mohmand Valley ambush — a battle defined by discipline, coordination, and the unbreakable bond between Rangers and the airmen who refused to leave them behind.

This photo shows him calmly walking out of Cherbourg past stunned U.S. Army troops, escorting 750 German prisoners—just hours after taking a N**i fortress and freeing 52 Screaming Eagles from the 101st and 82nd Airborne who had been locked in a medieval dungeon.

Three weeks after D-Day, the beaches were secure — but the invasion was still in danger of collapsing.

Supplies were running dry. Tanks sat idle. Ammo, fuel, and food couldn’t reach the front fast enough. Everything hinged on one objective: a shattered, mined, enemy-held deep-water port.

So he went in anyway.

With a small, unconventional team of Navy Seabees, he pushed into a city still crawling with German troops. They fought house to house, cleared bunkers, silenced machine-gun nests, and stunned hundreds of defenders into surrender.

Then he learned something worse.

Fifty-two Screaming Eagles from the 101st Airborne were locked inside a medieval stone dungeon overlooking the harbor.

What he did next was insane.

With just 15 Navy Seabees left, he walked straight up to a N**i fortress under a white handkerchief and calmly told the German commander they were surrounded by 800 enraged American commandos, barely being held back.

It was a complete bluff.

The Germans bought it.

The fortress surrendered without a shot fired.
All 52 American POWs were freed.
Hundreds of German troops laid down their arms.

In two days, his tiny force captured roughly 750 German prisoners and secured the Port of Cherbourg intact.

But he still wasn’t finished.

While gunfire echoed across the city, he immediately turned to the harbor. Mines were cleared. Docks salvaged. Channels reopened. Even wooden sailboats were pressed into service to sweep magnetic mines. Within weeks, supply ships were unloading. By August, the port was fully operational — just in time to fuel Patton’s breakout and the Allied drive across France.

Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower later credited the rapid opening of Cherbourg as decisive to the success of the Normandy campaign.

He was Captain Quentin R. Walsh, United States Coast Guard

Semper Paratus.

He wasn’t a war hero, powerful general, or an MIT engineer. He was a National Guardsman who survived the Great Depression by fixing broken things. And in Normandy, that same instinct to fix what wasn’t working, solved one of the biggest problems the Allies faced against Hitler’s forces.

In June 1944, after the Normandy landings, American forces were bogged down in the hedgerows. Thick walls of dirt and roots turned every field into a fortress. Sherman tanks tried to climb them and were instantly exposed to German guns. Crews were burned alive. The Allied Advance stalled as casualties mounted.

His job was to keep the tanks moving. Watching tank after tank get knocked out, he knew something had to change.

Using scrap steel taken from German anti-tank obstacles ripped off the Normandy beaches, he came up with a simple idea. He welded steel prongs to the front of a Sherman tank, allowing it to punch straight through a hedgerow instead of climbing over it.

The first test worked immediately. The tank stayed low, broke through the earth, and kept going.

Word spread fast. Command took notice. Soon, hundreds—then thousands—of tanks were fitted with what became known as Rhino teeth. The hedgerows stopped being a killing ground, and the breakout from Normandy finally became possible.

He was Curtis G. Culin, United States Army.
A Blue collar working man who helped change the course of the war.

This is his only known photo. He was an Army infantryman on Saipan—about to face the WORST fighting of WW2.

In June and July of 1944, his company was pinned down by Japanese machine guns dug into fortified positions overlooking the entire advance. Without being ordered, he grabbed a bazooka and sprinted alone—into withering machine-gun fire—closing within 100 yards and destroying the strongpoint himself so his company could move.

Advancing across an exposed field, he discovered two heavily fortified enemy pockets—two officers and ten enlisted men—hidden behind American lines. He attacked alone and killed every one of them. Five hundred yards farther, he found six more enemy soldiers hiding in concealment and destroyed them too.

Then came July 7.

Before dawn, nearly 5,000 Japanese soldiers erupted from the darkness, crashing into the American lines from three sides. Baker was hit early—badly—but refused to fall back. He kept firing as the enemy closed to within five yards. When his ammo ran dry, he turned his M-1 into a club—swinging it like Babe Ruth and smashing attackers' heads in like pumpkins.

A wounded buddy dragged him to the rear. Baker refused to go any farther.

He said he would rather die than risk another friend’s life.

He asked to be propped against a small tree. Then he asked for a pistol—with its last eight rounds.

When he was last seen alive, he was sitting upright, pistol in hand, calmly facing the enemy.

Later, his body was found in the same position.

The pistol was empty.

Eight Japanese soldiers lay dead in front of him.

He was Thomas A. Baker, United States Army.
Medal of Honor recipient.

William Ray “Billy” Flores wasn’t supposed to be remembered. He was just 18 years old, fresh out of boot camp, standing watch aboard the Coast Guard cutter Blackthorn on January 28, 1980.

That night, disaster struck in Tampa Bay. The Blackthorn collided with the massive freighter Capricorn. The anchor of the freighter tore through the Coast Guard ship’s hull, capsizing her in minutes. Chaos erupted as men were thrown into the dark water.

But Flores didn’t run. As the ship rolled, he stayed behind on the sinking cutter—tossing lifejackets to his shipmates and cutting free the locker so dozens more could reach the surface. When the Blackthorn slipped beneath the waves, Flores went with her. His sacrifice saved countless lives, but it cost him his own.

In 2000, two decades after his death, the Coast Guard posthumously awarded him the Coast Guard Medal for extraordinary heroism. And in 2011, a brand-new National Security Cutter was named in his honor: the USCGC William Flores.

This is the unforgettable true story of Seaman Apprentice William Flores—the teenager who gave everything to save his crew.

This is the only known photo of him. He was just 18 years old, only months out of boot camp, and the newest man on the ship.

In a general emergency, he had one responsibility: hand out lifejackets. On a cold, black night, when the ship was struck and began to sink, he carried that duty without hesitation.

As the vessel went down, he pulled injured shipmates onto the deck, gave what first aid he could, secured lifejackets on wounded men, and helped them into the water. Even as the ship listed hard to port, he kept moving. When the deck turned nearly vertical, he climbed it and reached the lifejacket locker. With seconds left, he tore off his belt and tied the heavy lid open just before the ship rolled and vanished beneath the surface.

In the darkness, 27 men—many badly injured—were left fighting to stay afloat. Then lifejackets began breaking the surface, one after another. Those 27 men survived because the youngest man on the ship never abandoned his post. He did not make it out himself.

He was Seaman Apprentice Billy Flores, a United States Coast Guardsman.
Rest in peace to him, and to the 23 Coasties lost in the USCGC Blackthorn tragedy.
Semper Paratus.
