- In today's video I'm visiting the American Cemetery of WWII fallen soldiers outside of Florence, Italy. It is a unique place I've always wanted to visit and never got the chance. Today I'm going there to pay my respects to those who faught and died so that we can be here and live. Join me for a very special journey to a sacred and breath taking place.

If you have relatives who fought in WWII, please share their stories here🙏
My great grandfather fought in the pacific on Guadalcanal. When his unit was resupplying, I believe on Hawaii, someone told him there was someone with the same name, Gates, down the beach. It turned out to be his brother and he said it was the happiest moment of his life. They both ended up surviving the war luckily.
Beautiful ❤ thank you
My father was a rifleman in the U.S.Fifth Army Italian Campaign North of Rome 1944-1945 ).He helped liberate towns in Central and Northern Italy.🙏💙Thank You for your video.
Our driver brought us here. Giovanni remembered the Nazi occupation of Florence, and told us about seeing a Nazi soldier take a watch from an Italian girl with a baby that had been a gift from her father. His mother was American, and was very involved with some aspects of creating this beautiful but sad place of remembrance. God bless.
My uncle, Wayne C. Miller, is on the Wall of the Missing. He was an airman with the 460th Bomb Group. Killed Oct 20, 1944.
First, your latest video's really have been top notch! I especially like the interactions you have with the locals. I've been studying Italian for a year of 2 and your channel is great per "il conversazione naturale" Especially the video where you visited the trattoria in Bassilicata transported me right back to the vacation I had on my Moto Guzzi in Italy last year. Keep up the good work! Saluti dal Belgio e buona giornata a te!
Thank you very much for your kind words. Grazie!!!
Fantastic video! As an Italian American I would love to visit this cemetery. I come from a long line of men who have served in the US Military. I know there are many Italian Americans who fought for the USA buried in that cemetery with all the others. God rest their souls ✝️ 🇺🇲 🇮🇹
Just watching this video today and thank you for acknowledging the Allies fight to free Italy.
Very inspiring. I love the history. We do enjoy your travels, but this one was especially meaningful. The battles in Italy were extraordinarily difficult. Thanks for honoring those soldiers.
My father was in the U.S. Navy at war's end, shaking down new aircraft carriers, but never in combat.
Thanks!
This means a lot. Thank you.
Thank you for this video. I have watched most of your previous ones and really like the way you try to visit places in Italy that most UA-camrs do not. I knew about the American cemetery in Normandy, France but I did not know that this one even existed. So as an American living in the U.S., thank you for bringing it to my attention. The grounds are maintained so beautifully! I have grandparents who were born in Palo del Colle (a town just outside of Bari in Puglia) in 1903 and immigrated to the U.S. between World War I and World War II. I am hoping to move to Italy someday if I am successful in obtaining Italian citizenship by descent. I will definitely put that cemetery of heroes on my list to visit. Thanks again!
God bless their soul!
A video that gives you shivers as it makes you understand the sacrifice made for the history of mankind.
A great watch definitely makes you think.
Great Job. Thank you
Brand new video!
;)
Such a good video! I wish you posted more frequently... one of my favorite youtubers!
This video shows so much depth and gratitude. The acknowledgment of these young American lives lost is just beyond touching. Without their sacrifice, along with other Allied nations, there would be no living it up in Italy or anywhere else in Europe, for that matter. Thank you. I've always enjoyed your videos, but this one is was another level.
I’m very moved to listen to your comments and to see this cemetery. It looks like the one in Hawaii called Punchbowl. My father was Nissei, second generation American of Japanese ancestry. He was in the US Army in Italy and was part of the troops who cleaned up the destroyed cities after the war. I found a letter from a family he befriended and photos of him as a soldier in Italy. I also appreciate how you reference the Fascist era. We have a lot to learn from the past.
Thank you❤️
I was in Florence this Summer and had no idea that was there. I would have visited had I known. I did go to Normandy after Italy last Summer
Well, now you have a good reason to go back to Florence!
Thanking you from California.
very moving video
Very good and very moving. Were there any Brits there or just Americans?
I think it's an American cemetery with only Americans.
