#195 – Scott Davis – The Last of the Old Breed | The Last WWII Marines of the Pacific — Their Stories Before They’re Gone Forever 🇺🇸🎖️📖
Scott Davis is an oral historian, author, and founder of The Vietnam Experience YouTube channel.
Scott’s new book “The Last of the Old Breed” captures the firsthand stories of over 130 of the final living Marines from World War II’s Pacific Theater — men in their 90s and 100s who fought at Tarawa, Peleliu, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa.
We’re crossing a moment in history right now.
Soon there will be no living connection to World War II. No firsthand voices. No men who were there.
Scott Davis made sure that before they were gone — we heard them.
Fitting this episode drops the week of July 4th.
The stories these men carried deserve to be heard.
Thank a veteran.
