Two houses down lived a WWII Army veteran. Across the street, lived a WWII Wehrmacht veteran. They were friends and fishing buddies for over a decade before they passed away. Both were amazing men.
There’s a WWII vet who lives next door to my parents, with his wife. I became friends with them before I moved out. Poor guy is suffering from cancer and is now bedridden. He’s fought it for years, and now I’m praying God just takes him quickly. It makes me so sad to think about him bed bound and hurting.
74 years ago today..my grandfather was third wave Omaha Beach. It's June 6th...2018. His name was Edward Buckelew..US army. NJ. How sad we as a society forget that day. It's importance. And the blood that was sacrificed. I miss you very much Eddy. Love you even more after you are long gone. Your grandson James. God how I miss you.
@@Mr.56Goldtop America and Great Britain are like cousins in this world; that's why America speaks English as it's national language. My ancestors, maternal and paternal, came from England...
Denise Long: Thank you for your words.. My great-uncle who served as a pilot in the war told me once that many people saw him like a hero but that he never considered himself a hero . He did what he was supposed to do..He also told me that he used to pray every time he flew a mission and carried a rabbit foot for good luck with him..He said that he felt very afraid before a mission but that once he was in the plane he concentrated on the mission and his concentration did not give him time to think, neither the less to be afraid until he returned safely . Twice he crashed once he was saved by Tito's army in Yugoslavia and from there he returned to Great Britain and after a rest continued bombing targets. The 2nd crash was a crash landing in Sicily but for some reason he landed closed to where Patton's army was waiting..He returned back to headquarters and continued his missions.
My grandfather on my mother's side was a WWII vet. He died shortly before I was born. I can't wait to go to heaven one day and meet him. Hear his stories. Hug him and say thank you.
Spontainousteve I think it's a big difference to be honest. We are talking about a World War not secret missions to infiltrate and eradicate the threat we have today,but I suppose yes you are right 👌
xsurleaux ...Zionism created Nazism....Zionism must be destroyed...It also created communism and fascism, Bolshevik....political correct censorship, feminism, and racism...If anything needs destroying it definitely Zionism that the Rothschild's created for world enslavement and corruption.
john roberts The only threat we have today comes from Rothschild Zionism, which created all terrorism in the world as a threat with their media...Their most useful weapon to lie to the people, to make money funding all sides of terrorism in the world...Terrorism is Bilderbergs bread and butter with their military industrial complex of deceptions ,false flags, and lies...
Thanks for these invaluable interview/stories, it won't be too long before humanity loses all remaining WW2 veterans from all sides of the conflict. If you happen to see this comment and know someone who was involved in the war please consider asking them if they would like to share any stories or be interviewed, on camera, voice, paper, anything, or perhaps suggest the idea of them writing a memoir however short or insignificant they might think their involvement was, all accounts are precious. If they decline that is ok, be respectful of their wishes and don't try to pry.
This presentation was not only informative, it was very moving. I agree 100% that we, as a nation, need to stand up, remember and celebrate these All-American Hero’s. My Dad fought World War II Korea. My love, pride and admiration for him is immeasurable. One of the highlights of his later years was being able to visit the Memorial via an Honor Flight. That visit, that flight brought him the closure that he needed for decades. Thank you all, each and everyone of you that served. Thank you for our freedom, thank you for being the greatest generation of all time!
For Christ sakes! Well don't just talk like a big talker........you see these guys all the time in front of grocery stores selling poppies on Veterans Day as you blow by them on your way to drink beer and get loaded. Stop by and talk to them. Here's an idea........read a personal testimonial about a veteran in a war and then you can actually have a conversation with them. Trust me, they will thank you. Not for your $1.00 f*ucking bill, or your "35 likes" on youtube, but for actually taking the time to care about what they went through. Empty youtube comments make me want to puke
igeboi clone: Just remembering them and their sacrifices is enough. My grandfather and great uncle were both in WW2 and even though I did not meet my grandpa for he died on D-Day I did meet my great uncle. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your words, I know that my grandma and my father would have been very proud today with your kind words.
I wish too and long conversations with them ❤️ Personally, it would be the ultimate honor for me. No actor, dignitary or government official can do this, these are the men guys today should look up to.
Truly the Greatest Generation. I was fortunate enough to have known some of these men growing up. I learned things from them I practice every day. They're all gone now. I miss them all dearly. Let us NEVER FORGET the sacrifice's they made for us all.
How can we thank these hero, saying thank you isn’t good enough. I can’t think of a word to say how much I respect these man and women. What a generation you are.
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you I love to hear your stories I don’t know how you did it but so so so thank you from Sally and Oshawa Ontario Canada
All young Americans should be given the chance to meet a veteran and hear their stories first hand. It's inspirational, and looking a person in the eye, who has actually experienced a war is awesome. I thank every man or woman who I can tell is fighting, or has fought, for my country.
One of the last great things my grandfather got to do before he passed away was an honor flight to DC. As a combat veteran I had the honor of saluting and greeting these heroes as they got off the plane. Shaking their hands and THEM telling ME thank you for your service was truly an honor I did not feel worthy of. Just thinking about it makes me choke up.
My 13 yr old knows word for word the Star Spangled Banner. He knows to salute and respect. I believe my teaching the next generation is what I can do to show my respect for your service. Thank you. We salute you.
knowing the star spangled banner doesn't mean shit. standing up & protecting every American's right in the face of tyranny, oppression and discrimination, is honoring these vets' sacrifice
@@lghnnny9957 yeah that's right *the people* not billionaires, not corporations, not religious zealots, not fake patriots, *the people* want a Democratic-socialist in office, as they did in 1933 through 1945 - When the time comes, and I have a 13 year old son, I'm not gonna teach him the "Star Spangled Banner" I'm gonna teach him what liberty, freedom, and compassion means ✊🏻✌🏻
I'm not american but I feel the need of thanks for his service and give a hug to each one of these heroes. God had takes care of they in life, so He will in heaven.
well send my best regards to them one day i saw one in jack in the box and froz i couldnt talk to them but yea he had a hat that it said ww2 vietnam korea etc.. and he was like 90 and with his wife
Amazing ability to remember these gentlemen have, the third or fourth interview, the 97 year old artillery crew member didnt look a day over 70, amazing! So much respect and admiration for these warriors, lest we forget
Yeah some wars need to be fought and these gents know it These guys are why we have the freedoms we take for granite everyday and now wanna give up in the name of equity (progressiveness) (wokeness) (liberalism) climate change more government overreach in our lives just imagine what the world would look like if we had never fought Hitler it would almost look like it dose today or it will soon people need to back our military or soliders show were not pushovers because today we look weak on the world stage . Thanks Sleepy Joe (Democratic assholes)
my grandpa was in ww2 I miss him he survived ww2 D-day he lost his best friend that day so sad he would always talk about story's he had a lot of Best friends
1:31 the soldier had a bronze star and a purple heart dang he did some brave a** s*it . i just want to say thank you and hug them because he did it for this country .
Truely America's Greatest Generation I wish public schools were made to show these interviews of these patriots who were just kids when they fought the bloodiest wars in history against tyranny and true evil.
these first hand accounts are amazing to hear...years ago, it would have been a lot more difficult to hear this stuff....unless you had someone in your family tree. i also like a lot of their spirit ..and they are smiling to this day. im not a "war" guy at all... but respect these guys now that ive heard their stories. ☮
The guy guy has been through ww2 Korean war Vietnam war got a degree taught history in college this guy is a true American patriot God bless these men thank you sir thank you to all our soldiers past present and future
I get teary-eyed when I hear these mean tell their stories, thinking about everything they did and went through, happily, bravely, knowing the danger, but it gets me especially choked-up when I look at today's generation in comparison. The America that once was is dead. Not enough people appreciate the absolute miracle and blessing that was created and handed down to us with this once great nation. Nowadays we have a generation of spoiled, entitled brats who don't appreciate anything, and don't know _anything_ but think they know _everything._ I hate to say it but it's true. There's still some good ones but they're getting much more rare.
Truly these are superheroes who accomplished this insurmountable task. They saved the free world and gave us this country we have today. There has never been a generation of men who gave so much and changed the course of history like they did. Never ever forget them. And never forget there is still evil in the world willing and wishing to take what we have God bless this nation
We love you Brits! How could we not? We ARE you, most all of our ancestors came from the same place as yours! God bless you all. And forgive us for allegedly electing the senile buffoon Biden, hes just dying to get us tangled up in another war already. SMH.
@@ryansgirl2002 Well I can't really have a go at Biden cos he's all yours! But I sincerely hope he doesn't go down the war path. War is an obnoxious waste of life and brings only misery to most people. Thanks for your message. God bless USA 🇺🇸 and UK 🇬🇧
My father went to Germany during Vietnam. He was drafted and they stood in a line.. you Vietnam, you Germany, you Vietnam, you Germany. He said he was shaking and then stood on the Germany side of the room and looked at the fear and tears of the Vietnam side. He said he tried to study their faces as best he could. He tried to study their faces because he knew more then half would never come home.
We are Weed but we have Rhinehart & Frank in our veins. My Dad was in C-47,his older Brother was in a Half track under Gen. Patton's Command, & another fought the Japanese he was wounded,fought from Australia to the Philippines came home at 89 lbs. They made it home but never the same.
Some might think the first guy, the navy guy had it easy as he didn't actually assault the beach, but imagine the 60 trips over and back... the fear of getting sunk and killed by U-Boats
Sadly young Americans don't understand and respect these sacrifices. We are giving away our freedoms, freely that our brave brothers and sisters gave their lives for.
Sir, I would sign up for one of those talks on Normandy. Thank you guys for kicking Nazi ass so I can serve my country and retire. You guys are my heroes.
One of these old heroes, said that there are 300,000 old WW2 vet's left, out of 7 million. Al my father in law, is one, he was Navy 16 yr. old (lied about his age) in 1945, heading for Japan. Women and children, in Japan, were being taught to fight till dead, with bamboo spears. They dropped the Atom bomb, Al's war was over, on the way to Japan.
@43:31 WOOOW!!! "....I saw nothing there but valor. When those men saw their buddies being cut down they didn't turn and run, they kept moving forward, nobody hollered "I don't want to go", they kept moving forward. It actually formed the way I would live the rest of my life....It gave me the courage to face adversity, and to face things that I don't know if I could if I could have faced again or not." DAAAAAMN! EVEN WITH THAT BIG SET OF BALLS IN HIS DRAWERS....HE'S STILL admitting to us that he doesn't know if he could do it again. Just..... Wow!! BUT HE DID IT!!! These heroes are NOT like us. They were different people from a different time and a different world. A different generation. They're called THE GREATEST GENERATION for a REASON. And THIS is why. My grandparents were part of this and they were the greatest people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. PERIOD! But to hear this hero admit that he did things then that he didn't know if he could do again....that says something...think of the balls...the actual...inner fortitude it takes to face such insurmountable odds and just keep on pushing through. And he's telling us ...bold faced....honest as the day is long....he has NO REASON to lie...he's saying he doesn't know if he could do it again. DAMN!! Words fail to express the gravity of that situation.
I'm confused. The interview at 36:42 says the man trained on Higgins boats (LVP), but then he is wearing a polo which shows embroidery LST (Landing Ship Tank).......even the length of the ship isn't a Higgins boat.. He then states that he see's men running off the ramp and being mowed down by MG42. That would then mean he was on a LVP. He was there, but I'm confused. He's also a little confused if teaching the bible is going to SAVE HUMANITY
Love the guy with the big red one on his T-shirt in the boat just getting in the water bullets flying around and he's worried about the spaghetti inside his shirt.lol
0:57 - this generation forgot. They forgot about your sacrifice, the horror that subsequent Veterans have endured, and they have forgotten the attacks on our own sacred soil. They have no dignity, self respect, or sense of responsibility. It's a race to the bottom. And the Milliniels have won.
They haven’t won. My son is the generation after millennials. Gen z I think? They are conservative. They care. My son who is 13 loves and wishes he could see the national anthem on tv at the end of the night as they sign off. He believes tv should have a turn off time. He calls men sir. Wants to get married and make enough money so his wife can stay home and be a full time mommy. He loves Archie bunker. Hates political correctneiss.

God bless you Sir.
Sadly young Americans don't understand and respect these sacrifices. We are giving away our freedoms, freely that our brave brothers and sisters gave their lives for.
Sir, I would sign up for one of those talks on Normandy. Thank you guys for kicking Nazi ass so I can serve my country and retire. You guys are my heroes.
The d day veterans saw the bloodiest battles in history
My body is covered in goose bumps
Never Forget !!
These people ran towards death and conquered it these are badass
God Bless them all forever. 🇺🇸❤️💞🙏🙏
One of these old heroes, said that there are 300,000 old WW2 vet's left, out of 7 million. Al my father in law, is one, he was Navy 16 yr. old (lied about his age) in 1945, heading for Japan. Women and children, in Japan, were being taught to fight till dead, with bamboo spears. They dropped the Atom bomb, Al's war was over, on the way to Japan.
I love every one of you beautiful bastards! Wish I had been there with you.
Truly the Greatest Generation !!!
Never forget their sacrifice. Earn the freedom they provided to us by living an honorable life.
God Bless these Men...
Respect🤝
If my thinking is right. You have to be 90+ to have served in WW2 and be alive today. Speak to your Veterans folks, they will all be gone soon.
@43:31 WOOOW!!! "....I saw nothing there but valor. When those men saw their buddies being cut down they didn't turn and run, they kept moving forward, nobody hollered "I don't want to go", they kept moving forward. It actually formed the way I would live the rest of my life....It gave me the courage to face adversity, and to face things that I don't know if I could if I could have faced again or not."
DAAAAAMN! EVEN WITH THAT BIG SET OF BALLS IN HIS DRAWERS....HE'S STILL admitting to us that he doesn't know if he could do it again. Just..... Wow!! BUT HE DID IT!!!
These heroes are NOT like us. They were different people from a different time and a different world. A different generation. They're called THE GREATEST GENERATION for a REASON. And THIS is why. My grandparents were part of this and they were the greatest people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. PERIOD!
But to hear this hero admit that he did things then that he didn't know if he could do again....that says something...think of the balls...the actual...inner fortitude it takes to face such insurmountable odds and just keep on pushing through. And he's telling us ...bold faced....honest as the day is long....he has NO REASON to lie...he's saying he doesn't know if he could do it again. DAMN!! Words fail to express the gravity of that situation.
I'm confused. The interview at 36:42 says the man trained on Higgins boats (LVP), but then he is wearing a polo which shows embroidery LST (Landing Ship Tank).......even the length of the ship isn't a Higgins boat.. He then states that he see's men running off the ramp and being mowed down by MG42. That would then mean he was on a LVP. He was there, but I'm confused. He's also a little confused if teaching the bible is going to SAVE HUMANITY
He could have been deployed to that ship, but trained on Higgins.
This why you stand at the national anthem show some respect for the men and woman of all colours who gave their lives for our freedom
This is why you have a choice to stand or not.
These guys are just plain..
Awessommmeee!!
You Probably Thought i was gonna say "Terrible" Right?!
iiJustToxic no,stop
Yea
It's amazing to me that none of the troop transports got sunk on their way to England.
Love the guy with the big red one on his T-shirt in the boat just getting in the water bullets flying around and he's worried about the spaghetti inside his shirt.lol
0:57 - this generation forgot. They forgot about your sacrifice, the horror that subsequent Veterans have endured, and they have forgotten the attacks on our own sacred soil.
They have no dignity, self respect, or sense of responsibility.
It's a race to the bottom. And the Milliniels have won.
They haven’t won. My son is the generation after millennials. Gen z I think? They are conservative. They care. My son who is 13 loves and wishes he could see the national anthem on tv at the end of the night as they sign off. He believes tv should have a turn off time. He calls men sir. Wants to get married and make enough money so his wife can stay home and be a full time mommy. He loves Archie bunker. Hates political correctneiss.
@@lghnnny9957 glad to hear it!
Earl is the man!
