- Hey everybody this was a hard video for me to produce because there was a ton of stuff I wanted to cover with this review. This review includes just a little bit about my grandpa and his service during the Second World War. He was a great man and I was lucky to have gotten to spend time with him when I was young. Anyways I hope you guys enjoys this review of the most K-Ration Items In One Review you'll probably ever see.

Thanks to all the Veterans.
Oldsmokey yes sir smoke cigarettes
Great tribute to your Grandfather and those who served.
Cheers to your grandfather and our vets. My grandpa served aboard a sub on the pacific front as an engineer, not as a combatant... but the USS Guavina has some tales to tell. So, like I said... cheers (a glass of whiskey, in my case) to our relatives who served and all our vets.
My grandfather was also a veteran. He fought for Hitler.
Thomas Never realy that’s cool my grandpa got captured buy German he my grandma wure alive during ww2 they wure from greece grandpa is ded grandma is alive
Well everyone UA-cam demonized my video before I could even publish it. If your reading this message you should go over to the UA-cam twitter page and Thank them for screwing all the creators here on UA-cam. I made sure not to make anything offensive at all in this video so it makes no sense why they did this.
Oldsmokey How is honoring veterans considered offensive? That’s some fucked up Liberal Bullshit. I’m not a Trumper btw.
New platform will turn up Yt will be sorry they do thus sooner
I overheard another youtuber saying that for the, unlisting the video and having it submitted for monotization usually makes it go away.
Will be doing that
I had ads
Very interesting video that not only shows some great old and rare K Ration items, but also serves as a wonderful tribute to your grandfather and all veterans! Thanks for posting this smokey!
Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. I really appreciate that.
I showed my grandad this video and he loved it. He carried a BAR with the first infantry in ww2 and transferred to the first cavalry in Korea where he was a 30 cal machine gunner. Unfortunately his division was hit hard at the Pusan perimeter and it messed him up pretty bad. He lit up seeing some of the things he remembered eating and told me a lot of things I never could get out of him so thanks for the vid man from calabash N.C.
That is amazing. This comment made this entire video worth posting. I really appreciate your kind comment and it's awesome that he watched the video.
I would love to speak to him or any over ww2 veteran. Sadly all the ones from my town have passed away or are too old to remember.
Brought a tear to a grown mans eye. Have my grandpa on my mind now, he served in Guam at 18. Thanks for this very cool video.
Basically all I've got left now are memories. One thing I've learned over the years is just try to cherish those and make as many new ones with your family members as possible. Thanks for watching.

Awesome review Smokey! Great story behind this ration and we thank your grandfather along with so many others for their service!!
Thank you for your kind comment and for watching.
Absolutely remarkable video smokey! Thank you for sharing some of your grandfathers history with all of us.
I really gotta say, Old Smokey, I'm very humbled and proud of your feelings for your grandpa. Mine was a Korea vet and passed when I was at scout camp when I was 14. I completely understand where you're coming from on remembering all the things he taught you. It's like there was so much they passed on, but theres so much more that was lost. I really admired my grandpa and I'm so glad to see you honoring yours in such a genuine and heartfelt way. Kudos brother. Thanks for the great video!
I wish all the time that I had asked more questions and tried to learn more from him. The little he got to teach me I feel like stuck with me. Maybe I can make a better tribute to him some day this was something I've had in the works for a long time. Thank you for your kind comment and watching my video.
Respect to US vets from russia!congrats with vets day!
and thanks for such cool review and showing such cool relics!
top as always!!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I really appreciate hearing from Russian viewers.
Verry nice review again. Love the story about your grand father. My grandpa was is the canadian royal air force. Got a lot of stuff from him. Waiting for some other awsome reviews! :)
That's great that you have that history in having his items. Thanks for watching as always....Later.
Loved the video and a great tribute to you grandfather and vets. All over the world..
Thank you. I wish I could have done more really. They all deserve to be honored.
I just came across this video and it hit me pretty hard. My grandfather just passed away a few months ago; he was a vet in WW2 too though he only joined in 1945 towards the end of the war at age 18 and thankfully in my opinion, never saw combat. He was my last grandparent to pass away and I really think it's tragic how the WW2 vets and in fact all veterans, are not getting the respect that they deserve. There are not many WW2 vets left, and unfortunately someday soon we will be left with no surviving veterans of the most world-changing war to ever happen.
Thank you for making this video though Oldsmokey. I really appreciate how you wanted to share your grandfathers memories and achievements.
It's Remembrance day this weekend in Britain which is a special time when we think about all the veterans who have died for us and we wear a poppy to show our support so for me this was a really apt video. I wear my poppy with pride and thank you for sharing your memories of your granddad with us.
Thank you Sally. I knew we had those days that were close like that. Ours being on Nov 11th was changed at one point but the public paid no attention to the government changing it and eventually they changed it back officially.
Oldsmokey Hi
Ours is the 11th day at the 11th hour for 2 minutes silence - I work at a hospital and you can usually hear a pin drop for that 2 minutes! Then the services and such at the nearest weekend.
It really brings it home how lucky we are to have people willing to hold that line for us. Irrespective of politics or country I think.
Thank you oldsmokey. And thank you to your grandfather a fellow vet and brother in arms
Great video smokey, I have nothing but the upmost respect for your grandfather and all the other veteran men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in any of the conflicts.
Thank you, and well put.
Awesome stuff brotha. The stove is really something.. looks like a boat propeller but cool as heck. Glad almost everything survived and made it for testing.
I just wanna point out to everyone that the whole UA-cam demonetizing debacle is getting out of hand. Please help support Smokey’s channel by becoming a patron.. every little bit helps!
That stove is one if my prized ration items. I really like it and it's design.
I really appreciate your banking me up on the whole UA-cam demonizing things. I'm not even going to act like I understand what's going on because I don't.
I totally agree i like being a patron cuz he puts his heart and soul into what he does. I enjoy yours also and others that i watch:)
Great video. I have a lot of respect for veterans. 11th of November is a special day in France too, we're remembering the end of WW1. Keep posting great videos ! Greetings from France.
That's exactly why we have veterans day as well. They tried to change it one time to some time in October but the public would have none of it and it was moved back to Nov 11th for good. But yeah the end of WW1 and honoring all the men and women that fought in WW1 is why it started but kinds morphed into this remembering all veterans. Thanks for watching btw.
Great video. It's always nice to see such old stuff be in a good state, good enough to be eaten :)
The man that saved these items did a great job at saving them from the crap in the containers they were in originally.
hay your grandfather sounds like a truly amazing person And happy Veterans Day even know this was why a while back I just want to say happy Veterans Day my grandpa fight in Vietnam in the 1960s he was actually on the cover of life magazine the draft 1965 issue of life magazine and I believe we got some of his metals He even has a Metal for marksman expert marksman He was a sergeant I believe he was a Medic I can’t really remember But he unfortunately Passed away in 1997 he had cancer but from What I’ve heard he was a good man I’m proud to have a grandfather served his country will thanks to all the veterans who served our country he will never be forgotten God bless you all and have a great day
+Tj Nickles
No worries we should thank out troops and Veterans every day not just one day a year. I'd like to check that cover out. If you know the month of the year and year I can probably look it up. Lots of us have stories like ours that we tell of out grandfather's and Uncles, etc. Hopefully our kids and grandkids will say the same things about us some day.
My grandfather served with uk forces the staffordshire regiment so nice to see you honour yours. Seeing you beard and all wow!!
That's cool too hear everyone's stories with this video. Thanks for watching and hope ya like the beard haha.
Love your vids bro. Respect and appreciation for your gandads service and to all veterans for thier service to our country.
Thank ya bubba. He was a bad a#$. I just wish he was still around or I had him telling his story on video or something. Unfortunately I don't though. Only my young memory to go on.
Thanks for Sharing these personal things with us
Thanks for sharing your stories, dude. This is a great video
I want sure about doing it but I'm glad I decided to go this route. Thanks for watching as always. Oh and if your reading this go check out Mickey Joe's me reviews.
Thanks for this great video. watched after checking Steve and RcGusto and enjoy your take on ration reviews. Cool info to know that they didn't have rolled cigarettes before WW1
Very cool brother! My great uncle also deceased served in ww2 with the Cape Breton Highlanders unit in the Canadian army. Served in Italy and France. His kids all fought over his medals when he passed away so they were buried with him.
That's sad they couldn't just be glad to get what they would have instead they got nothing. I'm sure that wasn't his thoughts on what would happen with them but family acts stupid some times.
This is awesome oldsmokey. Thanks for sharing your grandpa's story. Great review also.
Joe Chapman way cool
Thank you. I was glad to do it.
Great video. Great story about your grandfather and of course, enjoyed you trying the very old rations.
Thank you for your kind comment and watching my video. I really appreciate it.
Hey that's an Excellent video well done just what I needed to see as I'm into k rations this will help me out nice one I think those stoves were used the USMC but not sure but I enjoyed watching it and I will do again you must be very proud of your Grandpa that's an Awesome collection there
I am very proud to have called him my grandpa.
Frickin’ classic video, OldSmokey. UA-cam actually recommended this and I can’t recall if I’ve seen this before. Pretty sure but no comment
Great video man. I really liked that you paid a tribute to your Grandpa, it sounds like he was a great person. My grandpa served in WWII as well. He was stationed in France and was shot during combat. He died in 1992 from cancer. I was three when he died so I don't remember a lot about him. I wish I had been older to learn more from him.
+CharlieHotel2
I was like 12 when he passed maybe 13 but I wish I had learned more from mine as well.
A great video and fitting tribute to your grandfather. Sorry to hear about the gun deal. I was close to my grandparents as well and got some of my inheritance “stolen” from me in a manner of speaking.
One thing I learned is that no one can steal my memories from me. May I always keep those close to me. A great review and hopefully it can become a monetized one. Silly UA-cam.
Really unique video. Really loved this one. 👍👍👍
I wish I could remember more or had asked questions while he was still alive. But I was young. I think I was 12 or 13 when he passed.
my grandpa wouldn't talk about his WW 2 experiences, but he landed in normandy in july & fought until the end of the war in europe.
My grandpa didn't talk so much to me but with his buddies from the war in the VFW or American Legion. He would take me all the time to both and we'd pull tip boards, play pool, shuffle board, and ping pong. He taught me how to play pool at like 4 or 5 years old I'd say.
Good review....your grandfather sounded like a great guy....we just don't know how special the "Greatest Generation" was....it concerns me if something like WWII happened again 'm not sure what would happened to us....anyway, hopefully it'll never happen....I haven't been active withe the Legion in several years but I loved engaging those guys....their stories were amazing....
Shifting gears, I had no idea until a few months ago there was such interest in MREs and the like.....some of the 70's ones bring back great memories....you & other collectors keep up the good work.....thanks for sharing your collections ....Lloyd US Army 72-75 101st!!
Great review. Great Grandfather! Cherish your memories of that Great American. Sorry about the thieves. People can be such filth sometimes.
Yes they can be so heartless. My grandpa was one hell of a guy. I wish I had been a little older to remember more of his history. I need to research him in depth in his service in WW2. There's got to be tons of paper work because he was shot on two separate occasions.
My father served on the U.S.S. Wasp CV-7 before she was sunk by a japanese Submarine. Obviously a survivor, but he never really talked about it.
Outstanding review. Grandpa would be proud...
Thank you.
Awesome review, thanks for doing this and Thank you to your Grandfather for his service. You showed him amazing respect. What about this video isn't "advertiser friendly"? But My thanks go out to everyone who has served and everyone who has died in the line of duty.
That's a good question. I try to keep my videos as PG as possible I think. UA-cam is going to crap. Everyone who has twitter should go complain on their twitter about what they are doing.
Hey man! Just got the box from Mike Starkey, and I wanted to say thanks SO much for all the stuff you contributed! It means so much brotha'. Awesome review, and I'll be seeing you around man,
That was all him. He's one heck of a dude to have sent that along. He has helped me film some in the past.
He's a grade A guy. Talk to you soon brotha'
Oldsmokey Yea but I got that stuff from u so credit to u too thanks guys need to shoot some time I've had the itch
Great memory review for you and your family.
+Sam's World of Rations
It was actually a hard one for me to commit to doing but once I started I felt like it was right. Thanks for watching....Later.
Awesome mate! Your intro for some reason reminds me of the old Green Beret game on the Commodore 64. Great memories! I loved Cabal as well!
+yousnoerd
Glad to have ya watching and commenting. Hope ya enjoy all my other videos as well. Thanks for watchin... Later.
Yeah I especcially enjoy the videos with the older rations. Its amazing how long certain foods last.
I've got some really cool old stuff coming up really soon. I'm just having trouble finding any info at all on the two major rations I've got . One is from 1956 the other is from around 77-79 I think.
Very nice video, sir. Thank you for honoring these true American heroes.
+scottuber1
Glad to do it and thank you for watching my video.
Nice heartwarming tribute.I'm surprised those Choclettos® were still edible. If only my mother-in-law's cooking was edible.😂
(Sorry Catherine).
I never knew your Grandpa, but I am proud of him too. May he rest in peace.
Thank you. He was a hero in every sense of the word. Thanks for watching and commenting.....Later.
My Grandad was in the BEF and he was so shellshocked he was invalided out of the army and was put to pulling out bodies in the London blitz. My Great Uncle went down with his ship in the North Atlantic delivering supplies to Russia. I come from a military family so I have a certain connection with your Grandpa. I myself served as a Royal Marine for eleven years Smokey. Hell even my mother was a telex operator in the WRAF ( Womans Royal Air Force). So the next time you visit your Grandpa's grave, lay a flower for me mate and tell him that every decent British person thanks him for his help in freeing the world from tyranny. I also thank you my friend for the video. I'm suffering from severe mental health issues, not connected with my service, something else entirely, but still extremely destructive. Thank's mate as we say in the UK.
Your Grandfather was an American Hero! Bless his sweet heat. I am so sorry for your loss Oldsmokey. I am also sorry for the theft issues. That makes me very sad. Thank you for sharing your rations with us in honor of your Grandpa. Many, many blessings for all of your Family. Thank you for sharing with us, that is very thoughtful of you.
+Jen Herrington
I was happy to finally tell just a very, very tiny part of his personal story. I wish he would have written down some things when he was still around. Or if I would have asked more questions. Thanks for watching I really appreciate your nice comment too.
Awesome stuff man!
Great dedication to your grandfather! I know too well how hard it is to get medals for a family member after the fact.... my grandfather fought with the British Royal Navy from 1940-1946 and served mostly in the Atlantic but did serve on the Gibraltar station for a period of time, so he should have received the Mediterranean Star, but never did.
Trying to get that rectified when all the official records are "across the pond" in the UK is not easy.
I can imagine but he fought for all the time I was alive with him to get the ones he got and they owe him alot more. I can show you the hand written note they sent him with the last one he got and they Apologize for how long it took then they ask for money for the postage for shipping it to him. Stupid stuff. They should have never said shit since it took them 50 years or so to get them to him.
Oldsmokey Lay your life on the line for your country and they can't even properly commemorate it or acknowledge it... and THEN ask for you to pay postage. Boggles the mind.
It's of course even harder to do this stuff after they have died and my grandmother has died too, so then there's the question of what family member is entitled to the new medals we might get.
Oh yeah, I've gotta try to get the rat of his from the military. Both my grandpa and grandma are passed as well so it's not going to be easy.
BTemple
Great videos mate!
If I could give you an advice... Maybe it would be really good if you would tell us about what wars and climates the rations were used for and why they would need what is in the rations. Also maybe there are images and videos of soldiers actually using them. And maybe even some background music from the year the ration was from. That would be an awesome addition to an allready awesome concept!
Maybe you have already thought of these things and it isnt doable or maybe there are copyright issues, but I just wanted to share my thoughts.
Keep it going! Doing a great job!
Greetings from The Netherlands.
Fantastic video mate! I'm sure your Grandpa is looking down on you with pride..... We celebrate the same date in Australia but we call it Remembrance Day. At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month we pause for a minutes silence to remember the fallen...... We will remember them.
That's the same reason veterans day was started here in the states as well was the end of WW1.
In Australia we celebrate Remembrance day on the 11th of November, and we also celebrate ANZAC day on the 25th of April which is the anniversary of the day the ANZACS landed on the beaches of Gallipoli.
and one last thing I forgot to mention my great grandfather actually served in World War II and he was actually a couple miles from Pearl Harbor day it was attacked
+Tj Nickles
As far as I remember my grandpa was there on the beach on D-Day. I need to get his records and study them myself.
Old Smokey,
1st of all I really really appreciate your channel and content. I also had a Grandfather in WW2 in the Army Air Corps as a mechanic and think it would be amazing to some day try some MRE's he might have experienced. He left me a huge bullet lighter he made in England during the war. He smoked cigarettes then, as Im sure most did, and now being quite into pipe tobacco, as well as my years of interest in WW2 history, I have been itching to try those Chelsea cigarettes made by Edgeworth. Edgeworth slices were a pipe tobacco I always wanted to try as well, but I find myself being poor at locating either without paying hundreds of $'s. Ive been watching these MRE videos since 2017 when I was layed up with several spinal surgeries, and just can't get enough of these! Perhaps could you help me in acquiring at least a 3 pack of those Chelsea cigarettes that are in good shape? I figured if anyone would know, it would be Old Smokey! God bless!
Nice!
Awesome video
As always thanks for watching Steve.
Great video for sure. I subscribed for more!
That's awesome. Love to hear from new subscribers. Thanks for watching and commenting. You should check out my Corned Beef Hash review. It's one of my better videos and maybe my favorite so far.
You should really get that rust off so you can preserve it better, awesome video as always
Excellent nice tribute to Gpa.
Thank ya.
First I want to say thank you to your grandpa for his service seckond I found this viedo by researching ww2 foods and I gotta say you have a new fan both of my grandpa's fought early in korea my dads dad (25th infantry division) was army moms dad was airforce I never got to meet either of them my moms dad left me all his guns he passed three months before I was born and coming from a small town in WV that means alot to me id give anything to meet one of them and talk for 10 minutes
I was lucky I got to spend lots of time with him when I was little. My grandpa entire ww2 era gun collection was stolen while we were at his funeral. He had well over 50 ww2 era. They were definitely a different type of generation that took 100 percent price in their country. Thanks for yout kind comment.
thank u for service
Nice review Mr Smokey, Happy Veterans day to all xx
Thank ya.
Your welcome, enjoy all these reviews from yourself, Steve1989 and Mr Sticky fingaz x
great video my friend
Thank ya James.
Tfs all the great memories with your grandfather, we should all be grateful for all his sacrifices in his selfless service to our country 🇺🇸
+Teri Doster
Him and many more just like him. They were an impressive generation that's for sure. I know I'm thankful for there sacrifices and all they gave for us to be free today.
Great video man.......
Hey good to hear from you again.
i sent you a message let me know if you got it
Cool video
Thank you.
I am so grateful for our veterans.
Absolutely......everyone should be. Thanks for watching and commenting. Later.
Nice memories! My uncle was a POW in a Nazi prison camp. We have his telegram telling he was captured and the one when he was released. Very precious to us! He had long lasting effects from it. Horrendous nightmares and him screaming in German. He was a great man until the end when cancer took him. My dad also served but wasn’t in the war. He was in tank division. I appreciate all veterans because without them where would we be?
Right on. I still think they were the greatest generation ever. Sucks he was captured but good he got or alive.
Thank you for your service to everyone here that has fought and fighting for our country.
Great review and loved seeing all his medals and how you take such good care of it all:)
Hope you are doing much better. I see you still got the crutch.
Huge thanks to you Sharon. I very much appreciate your support it means alot. I'm happy to have gotten to tell jusat a little bit of his story and try some food that he had back in the 40s.
You are so welcome. Glad to be able too. Really enjoying your reviews and yes thank you for sharing those items and God Bless his service.
First: Nice vid. Second: Sucks about being demonized by UA-cam. Happens to me every time now, and I do product reviews. 3: Bayonets good for stabbing, less good for slicing, lol.
Thank ya. Yea this new UA-cam crap sucks. They need to go back to how it used to be. They are going to drive all the good content creators to a different platform. They need to fire that new CEO woman first off. I wanted to stick with the theme using the bayonet instead of some old pocket knife. Thanks for watching btw.
Good video buddy my bday is next month and I want to try some k rations
Good luck finding something still edible before your birthday. The consumable items are really hard to get.
Very nice tribute to your Grandfather. However from what I know about K rations, if he had to subsist off of them during the war, then by the time he got out of the military he probably never wanted to see another K ration ever again.
+No Name
They were a heck of alot better than what the Germans had that's for sure. But most guys that were in didn't hate them. That's why alot of them brought meals home as keep sakes.
The handle under that tape is most likely leather, as they aged, a lot of them started to dry out and chunks would fall off, I have two originals, both leather handled, luckily the handle on one is still in pretty good shape, the other had some of the washers dry out and some fell apart, so the handle was wrapped in rawhide. He probably wrapped it in electrical tape to keep the handle from falling apart, most likely he used that bayonet after he came home, after all, he used it while in the service for everything from opening boxes and cans, to cleaning his fingernails and fighting with it, so it was a tool to be used. These days things like that are looked at as collectors items and no one would think of using them the way they were used at that time. Nice video by the way.
+Pooch1953
Yeah he definitely used the crap out of it. I'll still use it from time to time just because it's not like it's in perfect condition or anything. I'm still debating on unwrapping the handle.
Thanks for the interesting review. So the tobacco ration during WW I was the original Pogey Bait.
+Bill23799
That sounds like a good nickname for it. I've done some reading about the WW1 tobacco products but there's not a ton of info out there really.
+Bill23799
Oh yeah, I have a pack of smokes from 1909 I've been planning on smoking for some time now which pre date WW1.
Thank you for your service Granpaw Roush,and thank you to all who fought and died to give us a future.
Thank you. They all deserve to be honored that's for sure.
*Most people tape up their weapons like that because it reinforces them, it makes them have a better grip, similar to when people put steering wheel covers on their steering wheels.*
I have the same bayonet but without the sheath...nice..It has what appears to be blood stains on it as well
nice memories of your grandpa, too bad he or the family could not get all the medals he earned
Yeah its something I need to look more in to. I know they still owe him one more purple heart for sure.
I had one great grandfather that was in WW1 3 in WW2 and one that was in the navy in Korea til 1960 that is the war history with 5 of my 6 great grandfathers.
I would almost kill to try one of those Chelsea's
I hope those guns are haunted 😎
great stuff though. shows how close you are with your grandpa and that's rare.
Me to. I hope they brought nothing but bad luck to those A holes. I mean seriously we were literally at his viewing and they were at our house breaking in. Of course the police did absolutely nothing to get the people that did it or to get the guns back. They are completely useless in my opnion. I've never seem any do any good around here. I mean I understand why we need a police but it's gotten out of hand the things they do and get away with. I'm off topic here sorry for that. I appreciate your watching and commenting.....Later.
Oldsmokey low of the low! stealing is one thing but to steal from the dead! hope it's so bad they return it to your doorstep #intactbishes
It would make my year to even find one of his old weapons. Even if I could find out there they pawned them and track one down.
Hey Oldsmokey, I have a story to share if you’re interested.
My grandfather passed away earlier this year, just a week after he turned 92. He was drafted in WWII at the age of 19 with his best friend. He served in the Navy and was a radar and communications officer and he ran the communications for his fleet when they were deployed to the pacific during the height of the war. He served from 1942-1945.
After he passed we went through his military records and belongings, and we found out he was in Japan just after they dropped the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He went into Japan after Nagasaki and Japan surrendered. In fact he has memorabilia with items labeled “occupied Japan”.
But yes, he set foot in Nagasaki just days after the bomb was dropped. I can’t imagine what he saw first hand, he does have photographs from Nagasaki, so we’re holding onto them. But hearing your story about your grandfather was awesome, what they went through, none of us can even begin to imagine it.
I'd say my grandpa's story was very similar. I think he stayed in and went to Japan or Korea as well. But he died on his 70th birthday. He was roofing the house and walking up a hill to take a break and he fell over with a heart attack. He passed rigjt them and there. Which he did have a pace maker which I was always fascinated with. He had this thing that hooked to the phone and he'd call Chicago and hook himself to that phone machine to check his heart. That and he was shit twice in 2 separate occasions and returned to the fight both times after healing for a short period of time. Once in the chest and once in the wrist. The one in the wrist he covered with his watch kinda turned to the inside of his wrist.
Always interested in hearing from you guys btw.
Oldsmokey - My grandfather died of a severe stroke and a heart attack in his sleep. When he was 75 he had a heart attack and had triple bypass surgery. The surgeon gave him only five years, but he doubled his years and had 17 good years.
We didn’t know that he was in the stages of heart failure though, he didn’t tell us. We believe that the last few times he saw his cardiologist he was probably only given 6-12 months to live. Because his doctor had dropped his heart medicine down to a maintenance dose, which is prescribed for patients in the stages of heart failure. So it was inevitable.
He had a damaged portion of his heart, so he only had about a 75% good heart. The other part that wasn’t worked on, the surgeon said it was so bad he couldn’t operate on it so he had to leave it alone, but he made a full recovery and changed his lifestyle and was very active, healthy, and did a lot. So he was very strong and never complained even until the end.
Wow that’s amazing, my great-grandpa also went to Nagasaki after the bomb was dropped. Really cool dude
My grandpa fought in the asain trench. I wish i woulda ben around more and asked to hear stories when he was alive.

Same here, I was only 12 years old when my grandpa passed. So I was just a little kid and didn't know what I had and what I should have been asking.
happy veteran day
That lemonade already had sugar if one of the ingredients was corn syrup, that’s sugar. That’s crazy that it wasn’t sweet already lol
I had to pause in the middle of this video in order to pay respects to those who have served.
That's awesome. I should have done the same thing. I didn't think about it .I was pretty nervous with these items being so old and only having one shot at it basically. Thanks for watching btw....Later.
There is an old war joke that says the German prisoners of war complained that it was a violation of the ginebra convention that the Americans gave them to eat K rations.
R.I.P he would be proud
Thank you, that's my hope. I just wish I could do more. Maybe sometime I can track down his service record. Then maybe I'll know more of his story.
R.I.P
my grandpa also served in World War II he was in the Pacific the only thing I know is that he was also wounded and my dad and most of my uncles served in Vietnam
Clancy Woodard my dad was in the South Pacific towards the end of World War II also one of my uncles as well he never made it back...
Same here I'm hopeing to get one of my uncles involved in an mci review some time. I have done really cool pictures of him in Vietnam. But yeah my grandpa was shot twice....once in the wrist and he healed up and went back into the fight then he was shot in the chest. They still owe him at least another purple heart I know that for sure.
Man, that is Chicago Illinoce
all of that sugar came from Cuba at the time because of the lack of supplies of any kind of sugars during the war but Cuba was producing and exporting sugar like crazy!
That is a very interesting fact. Thanks for the info.... Later.
Wow dude cool!!! Note to the thieves that stole your Birthright thieves will have a special place in Hell although I can't imagine one place being worse than the other there it is written...
Yes those assholes will burn for that I'm sure. They will never find faith if their even still alive. I wish I had just one from him but they took every single one. It was well over 50 firearms.
Oldsmokey? What happened with the video? If anyone had an issue with it, they should go get bent. Thankyou to your Grandfather for his service. And those where some great items
I have no idea why UA-cam deemed it not advertiser friendly. I think they fixed it but not before I had alot of views. Not that it's all about the revenue but it does help. Especially since I've been out of work for almost 20 months now I think. I'm thinking about branching out into some other kinds of videos idk yet. Maybe the mail thing will steer me in a different direction.
Oldsmokey , that sucks, I am guessing in this snowflake society we live in, the bayonet freaked them out or something. I am sorry to hear you are going through a rough time, I hope things pick up.
Great Idea and review friend ! The bayonet, knives of that era, had material, spacers, that contracted, and expanded, with elements and climate. If you taped up, made more solid. Still waiting on my dads Bronze star to arrive. Born 1923, died 2015, still not received yet. Rare coffee, never seen before. Heater, only seen 1 or 2. Hate thieves, mad here for you also friend! have seen sugar cubes, never loose granulated sugar in ration? Lemon drinks, well, at least you have them. The gentleman had, Great foresight , to save items. Will look up USS Cascade. Watch out for Hexamine tablets inside. Fumigate, and, permeate, everything friend. Hard to air out, LOL. This ration, or, mix of rations, would be great when fresh. Especially, if, it was all you had? At some point, I will send some pics, of dad, and some of his items I have. Peace, John, Get over cold, Heal the leg surgeries, get well soon friend !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's a neat story he had there. It's people like him and my grandpa that make us proud to be Americans.
Camp anaawana🎵
Where did your grandfather fight at? My grandpa fought that battle of Guadalcanal.
I'm not sure. I was like 12 when he passed. I need to try to get some info on what exactly he did. Maybe I can tell a real story some day. I know he was shot twice on two separate occasions and returned to the fight but I'm not sure exactly where all he was. I know he was in when the war started and was in long after it was over.
Happy Birthday to me.
TolerantCoot6 Psh, I guess. Happy birthday.
Happy Birthday 🎂🎈🎂🎉.
