Johnny Carson Refused to Shake Clint Eastwood’s Hand — What Clint Said Left the Studio Frozen

Описание: A handshake that took 21 years to happen. A promise kept in silence. The untold story of heroism, courage, and gratitude.

October 12th, 1973, Johnny Carson and Clint Eastwood changed the way America remembered its heroes. For 21 years, they honored a promise made on a Korean battlefield, keeping the story of Sergeant William “Dutch” Morrison—a man who risked his life to save two young soldiers—secret from the world. Dutch Morrison, a farm boy from Nebraska, served three tours in Korea and two in Vietnam, never seeking recognition. His heroism was finally revealed live on The Tonight Show, sparking tears, applause, and a national conversation about the “forgotten war.”
