Customer Reviews
Thank you for your service 👍
I have so much respect for these men. Keep their stories coming, they need to be heard! My dad was a survivor of WWII and my late husband was a Navy man during Nam! I salute each and every one of you!! Thank you for making our Country great!!
Good stuff, as usual
No surprise here, but another solid Podcast from Tenderfoot TV. You had me at “Up & Vanished”, Payne. Y’all keep up the good work and we’ll keep listening.
Reenactments 👎🏻, Content 👍🏻
Really interesting podcast. My one criticism is that I find the audio reenactments to be pretty annoying and cringey. If those were cut out it would be perfect. The content is awesome and the reenactments don’t add anything.
