    When I was in the 9th grade I was selected for a “gifted” English class. At some point we had to do a book report on a book of our choosing. I chose my great grandfather’s pacific war diary, and after giving a summary to the class, my teacher had teary eyes and a far away look. He said I did a good job, and we continued class like nothing was up. After class, he asked me to stay behind and talk with him. I did so and that’s when I learned Mr.McKenzie was a pacific war vet himself, and had fought at many of the same battles as my grandfather. He told me stories for an entire hour. It was the last class of the day, so I had missed the bus. He gave me a ride home and on the ride expressed to me that he hadn’t spoken about the war with anyone including his own sons in 50 years. He asked me not to say anything to any of the other students, so I didn’t. Ever since then I’ve thought about him, and how he was doing. That year I had with him was the most impactful in all my time in school, college included. I found out later that he had passed away while I was on my first deployment to Afghanistan. I visited his family and spent the evening talking about what a great man he was and what an impact he had on my life. His youngest son took me to his grave a week or so later and we just hung out for an hour, drank and poured out some beers for him. Now I’m a vocational instructor for our local high school and I am still thinking about him from time to time. Mr.McKenzie specifically but the generation in general really impacted our society as a whole for the better, things would be different if they weren’t all gone now.

    One thing that always amazed me about these guys (like my Father) is they had absolutely zero treatment for PTSD. They returned to their civilian lives and rarely, if ever, spoke about the war. Stoic, tuff men who were glad to be alive. I bet in your life you knew war heroes and never knew it. My High School woodshop teacher was a real hero that was highly decorated in the war. He was the sweetest soft spoken old man. Nobody knew anything of his past until after his death when we read his obituary

    My Grandpa was also from Ky but he was in the army. He was in the second wave at Omaha beach. Got shot 7 times during his service, stepped on the edge of a landmine.. went to his grave at the age of 76 with a bullet lodged in his chest 1/2" from his heart. I have both of his Purple Hearts and his bronze star. He never would talk about the war "I never asked" but he did tell me horse meat was delicious lol. . I know he helped liberate a nazi death camp. I also know the few things that bothered him the most was shooting a German spy who happened to be a woman in a fire line, liberating that death camp and as soon as he stepped foot on Omaha beach he watched as his childhood friend got shot in half. He was 17. Like I said he never talked about the war " he told my dad a few things on his death bed" but i remember him getting so mad when he seen a VW or any cars or food that was from Japan... he would say some wild shit but I understand why he would. After the war her came home and taught highschool for 35 years, worked at the post office in Ohio during the summer. He was a great man. 130 lbs and a killing machine but you would never guess until it was too late. RIP grandpa🇺🇸

    As a kid meeting WW2 and Korea vets was always wild. They were older but not ancient yet. Always cool old guys, confident, tucked in shirts despite it being the 90s, not taking any shit. The vets were cool but all old dudes were like that in a way. My grandfather was a hot rod racer and boxer growing up in the 50s. Tough SOB with some wild stories and interests and takes on the world

The town hes from is so insanely poor and run down its hard to imagine anyone would live out their entire life there. I guess that's just another layer to this amazing mans toughness.

    So Walt was my great grandfather, there was one story he told me that ill never forget and I dont believe was in the interview. He was in his foxhole dead of night and he felt something land next to his leg and seen it was a Japanese grenade. So he grabbed it and tossed it out in front of him as fast as he could. Then he said a second or two after it came back in his foxhole. He grabbed it and chucked back out in the same direction and it came flying back in. Thats when he realised and I'll quote him on this "We was playing damn hot pottao with a dud grenade" 😂 I miss him, thank y'all for covering his story. He was a absolute unit of a man. I remember as a kid when he was in his 80s he was chucking huge foundation log footers on his shoulder to carry them.

    Saw war footage in Ukraine. Artillery destroyed an old man's home. Found a wounded Russian, drove his tractor to him, tied his arms and chest to a tree and a rope from his ft to the tractor. Pulled him apart and the tractor didn't even hiccup. His intestines I imagine is what I saw got dragged out a few ft in-between em. The ppl watching cheered. I have no clue what side was what. I just saw the horror of war when good ppl cheer on something like that.
