My grampy fought in this war, 23 years old. On the 31st of March, it will be a year since he's passed. I'm so proud of him for going to fight. He received a plaque of recognition from the RCMP a few years before he died, as a thank you for the time he served in the army. I wish I could have gotten to see him one last time before he passed, and thank him for all he's done- he really deserves it. I love you, grampy. See you again some day.
My grandfather was in the Korean war during the early years, and in Vietnam two times. He served from 1947-1968. He retired a Major. He acts and (says he feels) like he is 30 years old, but he is 81.
Nice footage. I've been looking area for photos and videos of the A-26 being used as a staffer (most of what one finds involves medium altitude bombing led by a glazed nose version).
my grand father, Robert webb was a marine sgt in this war. After this conflict worked on the panama canal. Sadly passing away, died due to lung cancer in 88 or 89. Even though I was eight years old, I got to meet him one x-mas. These people shouldn't be forgotten.
my grandfather was in the 101st but i dont think he was in combat but one time during training he and a few guys got moonshine and my grandfather took a drink and he passed out and the others thought he was dead because they tried everything but he would not wake up so they put him to bed and they acted like nothing happend and next morning they where suprised to so him awake with a killer hangover.
My grandfather was in this war as a paratrooper I didnt know much about it because I was too young to ask about it.He passed away and now I cant ask him about it.I am now 16 and more interested in what it was like and what he indured during this war.He was like a father to me because my father died when i was five now i dont have much of a father figure in my life.

My grandpa was in the Korean or Vietnam war I don't remember i don't know much about my grandpa he was one of the marines in one of those wars. Gladly he's still alive.:D
dude my grampa fought in this war my dad told me he was a officer killer specialist meaning most of the time he went behind enemy linds and killed alot of officers and regular soldeirs most of the time
My father enlisted at 17, became radio intercepter & FO,.. said the "chinese" pilots (alleged), when confronted or getting chased by US planes would start speaking frantic russian.... also found some big (dead) russian pilots crammed into "chinese" uniforms, (when they were shot down).. which was often..... and they had a chance to retrieve wreckage from Migs....... his best friend was fighter pilot, who was afraid of heights LOL
@EdwardXVI I know what you mean...! My grandpa was in the navy during this war and is almost 80 and looks like he's 60 and still works hard and is really healthy... O3O
Anyone know what squadron these Invaders belong to? The narrator says the airbase is Iwakuni, which makes me believe they belong to the 3rd Bomb Wing, but does anyone know the squadron? The tail code "V" on that one bomber is a big help, but I can't seem to identify that marking. Can anyone help?
@StevieChannel South Korea was nothing else than occupied area who the real korean government ("North Korea") together with the korean people (in guerillas) in the south fougth to liberate from USA and the fascist regime installed in South. Also the US/south regime had already had started the war and also massacred the people in hundreds of thousands. This war was about The korean people (North Korea and the guerrillas) against one of the worst dictatorship ever created by US occupation.
@StevieChannel they represent by what? its called deception. dont be blind. who knows maybe tomorrow, another good story will be aired on tv, and let me remind you, not all you've seen in tv is true, specially those who sez by politicians, you know what in? its called BUSINESS... in politics, its called common interest. :D
@StevieChannel No millions had died because of the occupation and war started by USA, the whole problem with diveded Korea origins from that. If you dont belive me you can check with the South Korean Truth and Reconciliation Commission. North Korea had not killed millions BUT USA and the South Korean fascist regimes had. You think South are the "good" and north "bad" because south is better off today? North was better than south before the collaps of the eastern bloc that made North isolated.

My grand-father was in the air-force and is paralyzed right now. I truly love him and want his service never to be forgotten
My dad was a Sniper in this war, he's 80 now. And he still walks around like he's 20, it's scary.

I've never been able to laugh at those slogans scrawled on bombs...
Great video though. The B-26 is such an amazing craft.
Sad thing that it is the "Forgoten War"

My grandfather drove ducks in the navy during this war. He never talked about his experiences and I'll never know what he did.

Those B 26's packed a punch.
Clint eastwood is one of the most famous Korean war veterans.
Recently posted an odd original song about the few Canadians flying Sabres with USAF in the Korean War

yes, for planes to reach take off speed, they are catapulted from the carrier. the same method is used for today's carriers as well.
my grandfather was an electrician in the korean war
my grandpa fought here and got wounded covering his buddy from a chinnese granade
Korean war was agressive.

@aquafishsoup Same concept would apply.
My father enlisted at 17, became radio intercepter & FO,.. said the "chinese" pilots (alleged), when confronted or getting chased by US planes would start speaking frantic russian.... also found some big (dead) russian pilots crammed into "chinese" uniforms, (when they were shot down).. which was often..... and they had a chance to retrieve wreckage from Migs....... his best friend was fighter pilot, who was afraid of heights LOL
@aquafishsoup I doubt you would be able to hit him with a bat, he carries at least three knives with him at all times of the day.
@EdwardXVI I know what you mean...! My grandpa was in the navy during this war and is almost 80 and looks like he's 60 and still works hard and is really healthy... O3O
@Rjackman84 Yeah, but at least we actually won this one.
im pretty sure that wasnt a real troop assignment, mabey sniper seems more likely.
@StevieChannel thats why most politician has their share in spoils of war...
