Yeah, there weren't Navy SEALs back then, so there's not a lot of books.

I mean, that's that's one of the reasons why I like not to, you know, break my wrist or anything.

But like, it was why I like what we do on unsub with bringing on so many World War Two vets.

Because I remember, you know, in my lifetime growing up, the moment I saw the headline that the world's last World War One veteran died.

thinking like wow okay those are stories that can never be told now and so giving them the the platform the opportunity to be able to tell those stories is super important yeah you told gary who we had on um uh we have papa jake and don graves don graves ow ow ow we've had three world war ii veterans and one was at the raising of the flag at iwo jima like

Gary, I'll tell you, Papa Jake, he was trying to steal our girls the entire time.

He was, he was, he was, he was risen up the ladies the whole time.

He was not interested in any of the guys at all.

He loves that.

I don't know if we've gotten a chance to say it on the podcast yet, but rest in peace, Papa Jake.

We lost him a couple months ago.

There's a, there, there's also a thing about, uh, him being like one of the first, uh, I don't know what the, the qualifications called, but black combat divers.
