Another Jocko podcast listener... Thank you for creating this. I hope this helps keep the memory of his service and serves as an example for future generations.
Just heard the Jocko podcast 186 with John Stryker Meyer and The (infamous) Frenchman... unbelievable stories! A true hero and a man that deserves the recognition for his actions that required him and his SOG teammates to risk it all anonymously over and over again. I sincerely hope that The Frenchman challenge coin is one day available to the public...I would love to own one!
Same. Just heard that podcast and literally Whooped out loud in the car when I heard John Stryker Meyer on there again. Then to be introduced to the Frenchman. Amazing. Here's to your health, sir!
krazipynaple yup dude was working in his yard he got a heatstroke in that texas heat. Dude was a tough sob still did daily task handiwork despite his stage 4 cancer caused by agent orange may he Rest In Peace.
I am literally just finishing up watching Jocko’s podcast #186 as I’m writing this. What an amazing group, these men were. I envy everyone that had the privilege of knowing one of these men. Never knew about SOG. Take care.

I also came here after the Jocko podcast, it’s amazing what these men did. Such a shame to think professional ball players get more recognition and adoration from our youth these days...
Just finished 186 for the second time. Starting 180-182 again as well. Amazing group of warriors, well deserving and long overdue recognition. Frenchman action figure needs a Blackjack one to cover his six !!
Don’t forget to watch 204 throu 206 of dick Thompson and then John Stryker Meyer was on again like 246 247 and 248 I think and the very next podcast will be John Stryker Meyer with a mystery guest from sog and I’m super excited.
@@fossildude181 great to hear that. You do amazing work and I agree with another commenter that, $200-250 is less than they’re worth. The rarity, craftsmanship and cost of materials is just a part of the artistic value. I learned of this and you from Jocko’s episode 186 with Tilt and the Frenchman, like MANY commenters here. 👏👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@jumpingjimmyjet: There was talk that ACE Workshop was going to make a production figure for him, but it looks like it fell through. I was glad I could help him out. I've done a few others (Tilt, Lynne, Brokhausen) aside from his.
@@fossildude181 can you please make me one. This man was a inspiration to my girlfriend. He got her into cattle and even drove ip for a ffa convention. I will pay whatever you need.
This is awesome my dad is a Vietnam vet and I had him watch the Frenchman episode on Jocko podcast. I've watched it several times as well as all the other sog episodes.
Unfortunately, I make these custom when parts are available. The family asked me for a third and I don’t know if I’ll be able to make it. I’m hoping that the action figure company ACE Workshop ends up making one that can be bought in stores.
I didn’t know that Doug La Toureau passed. I knew he had cancer but I’m sorry to learn he passed. Dude is an absolute National Treasure, just like all the other SOG dudes.
@@acasa781 I’m sorry, I did not see these. I stopped making the Frenchman figures after I’d made my fourth one. I can, however, refer you to a guy who can make them. PIR Custom Figures has made his own version of the Frenchman and will take commissions.
Great job. I just watched Jocko podcast 186 with the " Frenchman and Tilt. Please check the podcast out. You will not regret listening to these guys. God bless you all and God bless America. 🇺🇸

Rest easy, Frenchman. May your memory live on forever in the hearts of those who loved you.
So sorry to hear is passing. I just finished watching Jocko Podcast 186.

@@johnmarquette9899 my great uncle died from agent orange these men were something else greater than them self
They even taped the trousers up! RIP legend
Sadly The Frenchman passed away July 26, 2019. RIP Doug.
That's less than a week after his podcast with jocko was released 😪 R.I.P Frenchman
Hope it ends up in a military museum where many can know his story and many like him. Real Men!!
Jocko podcast 180, 181, 182 and 186 brought me here. RIP Frenchman.
The book that contains his stories is called "Across the Fence" it's on Amazon.
Doug was an extraordinary man. I knew him from his years of living in Gallatin TN. Miss him terribly and think of him often. He was truly my hero.
He really was a great guy. I know how you feel man.

@@austinschingen7831 258 was amazing with Cowboy, dead on !!!
Very nicely done. I hope he got to enjoy it before he passed.
He did. I ended up making two for him. If you Google him, there’s a photo of him holding this one with the biggest grin on his face.

It would be awesome if these went into production... Jim Jones-Shorten, 1-0, SOA-CCC, Kontum, VN

they should make a Wild Carrot one
Just heard Jacko Pod Cast 186.
The Frenchman like all SOG members are true Supermen.
Thank for posting the video.
This is awesome!
This is awesome my dad is a Vietnam vet and I had him watch the Frenchman episode on Jocko podcast. I've watched it several times as well as all the other sog episodes.
RIP
Are we all here from the amazing Jocko podcast ? What incredible stories
Awesome. Dude is a legend.
I remember my GIJoe years 68-71
For a second I thought it was a live person beside a large box. Excellent figure!!!
I want one
Doug was a very close friend. Any chance of being able to buy a custom action figure of him? Thanks
Unfortunately, I make these custom when parts are available. The family asked me for a third and I don’t know if I’ll be able to make it. I’m hoping that the action figure company ACE Workshop ends up making one that can be bought in stores.
I didn’t know that Doug La Toureau passed. I knew he had cancer but I’m sorry to learn he passed. Dude is an absolute National Treasure, just like all the other SOG dudes.
Where can I order one from?
I make them custom, unfortunately. It depends on how easily I can get parts for them.
@@fossildude181 I’d buy one from you
@@fossildude181 Will you be making anymore?
@@acasa781 I’m sorry, I did not see these. I stopped making the Frenchman figures after I’d made my fourth one. I can, however, refer you to a guy who can make them. PIR Custom Figures has made his own version of the Frenchman and will take commissions.
Can you purchase these do you have on of Tilt can the public pitches them
These are all custom made. I have done commissions, but it depends on parts and availability.
Hey, is this action figure a one-of-a-kind item or are these for sale someplace?
tcar0341 This was a customized piece I made for Doug at his request. I could make a similar one if you’re interested.
@@fossildude181 how much would they cost?
@@seatato4468 Honestly, about $200, 220? It depends on how/where I can source the gear.
@@fossildude181 nice work, looks like it should be worth $500 or more
Where can I purchase? My girlfriend was good friends with him. He got her into cattle shows.
Great job. I just watched Jocko podcast 186 with the " Frenchman and Tilt. Please check the podcast out. You will not regret listening to these guys.
God bless you all and
