I saw Devotion. The ending is really sad. His squad mate felt terrible guilt .

[corsair]

Dangit, this story always makes me cry! He tried so hard to save his friend, but he simply couldn't. He stayed with him as long as he could, trying to save him to the very end.

Devotion is a super underrated movie, it deserves more attention

[alextucker]

That was a great story. I salute Jesse for his bravery. May he rest in peace.

MacArthur: Nuke em!
Truman: No!
MacArthur: NUKE EM!
Truman: NO!
MacArthur: AH COME ON!
Truman: You’re fired

That's true brotherhood right there.

Man that was heartbreaking... i really need to watch Devotion. I've never wanted to cry more from a Simple History video. RIP Jesse Brown, a hero and legend.

Stories like these of the Korean War should be remembered and never forgotten.

Both of my great grandpa's fought in Korea one was a combat medic and one was a pilot

I was in Korea US Army two tours. My dad was at the Chosin in 1950 USMC!

from south Korea 🇰🇷. Thanks Hudner and Brwon. I saw the 'Devotion' many times.

[andrewlanford]

I used to go fishing with a veteran who survived the Chosin Reservoir. Even 50 years later (this was in the early 2000's) he still had nightmares about the battle and especially the feeling of being completely outnumbered and seeing a "literal wave of humans" (his words) swarming down towards his position, each and every one of them seemingly trying to k!ll him.

[Eric_Hutton.]

I hope you will do more about the Korean War.

[ives]

Nothing but respect for all those brave souls who fought valiantly and gave up their lives for something greater than themselves.

[mikegomintong]

This is a true Devotion as a friend and a fellow pilot...

[theMemo-]

I Salute both these Heros!
RIP Maj. Richard Goldhammer USAF Korea Vietnam Arlington National Cemetery

Devotion is a Good Movie. Made Better Late Than Never. Heaven is for Heroes. May He R.I.P.

Jesse Brown is from my hometown of Hattiesburg MS and our courthouse is named after him.
