In comparison to the chinese hell march videos there's just something about the casual march of free men

My Dad jumped into this warzone.

Welcome home,thank you all for your service.👊🏻🇺🇸

My Grandfather was the radio operator onboard. He definitely told me a bunch of stories when I was growing up.

Patton was larger than life, even when he was alive. He inspired his soldiers to sacrifice for their country.

Breathtaking raw footage....It's dead serious stuff that cant be replaced.Absolutely priceless and Marine Gold.I just want to say Thank You to those brave young marines for their sacrifices.Tarawa was a massive learning experience for the marines and these men helped save many lives in the future.They appreciated America and did it for ....All Americans today..

This 2rd world war wasn't ours but they use our island for their battle 😢

The Barrage Balloon was an Allied defensive counterair (DCA) measure against Germany's low flying Dive Bomber and V-1 Flying Bomb threats during WW2.

My grandpa was a captain in the 506 composite. Was shot down in a PBY plane over the CBI mountains in 1943- i have the western union telegram that says he is MIA. Popped up at a chinese outposr 9 days later and said i am an american (he spoke fluent chinese) and they picked him up. Lived to be 89 and had 9 kids, one of them being my father. An absolute legend.

Das ist ja hochinteressant. Ich höre zwei Sprecher hier. Der eine ist Harry Giese, der zweite ist mir nicht bekannt. Ich dachte , dass Giese nicht mehr eine wochenschau sprechen durfte.

This video just proves to all that war is useless to be wage by humanity

Me Pops is somewhere down below!!! ❤

This lefture was given in the same year he died. April 8, 1981.

If we could capture this unity again. Everybody was working together. It was the worst of times and the absolute best of times. This spirit is what the USA is all about.

*January 19, 1943*

My Grandfather was attached to an American unit whilst serving in the Royal Artillery. He was taken prisoner by the Chinese a week before the ceasefire. He survived his captivity, and he said the North Koreans were the most cruellest people on Earth far worse than what the Japanese did to so many in WW2.Love you Grandad, always miss you. Hope you're enjoying yourself in Heaven. X

6:58 "HEY JOE!"

The USS Enterprise was scrapped in 1959/1960 by a GOP administration! The most decorated ship in US history was scrapped and not turned into a museum. Why? The GOP did not vote to have her built. Having CV-6 as a museum would be a constant reminder that the GOP failed to protect America!

This is my great grandfather 's brother. I love that these videos exist.

Wth! At 1:42 It looks like a jet about to take off.

Kenneth Simon Ayotte PLACE OF BIRTH: Detroit, Michigan HOME OF RECORD: Grosse Ile, Michigan AWARDS BY DATE OF ACTION:1 of 1 Silver Star AWARDED FOR ACTIONS DURING World War II Service: Marine Corps Rank: Private Division: 1st Marine Division GENERAL ORDERS: Commander 7th Fleet: Serial 0855 (April 17, 1944) CITATION: The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Private Kenneth Simon Ayotte (MCSN: 444305), United States Marine Corps Reserve, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity while serving with the FIRST Marine Division in action against enemy Japanese forces on Cape Gloucester, New Britain, on 26 December 1943. Voluntarily manning a machine gun on an amphibious tractor as it moved forward from the assault company's lines, Private Ayotte fought with skill and daring aggressiveness despite withering hostile machine gun and rifle fire and, on at least two crucial occasions, courageously retrieved hand grenades which had landed in the tractor and hurled them back at the enemy. Private Ayotte's heroic initiative and fearless conduct in the face of imminent peril were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.

My guess is that these are Okinawa men in pressed into service.

Love the footage but the narration... I understand the time and the place.

Funny to see this. Read "Neptuns Inferono by James D. Hornfisher. There he explains how the USS Boise did not sink 6 ship on her own. She was involved in two battles and made the japs pay but she did not sink them alone. These kills were credited to her for propaganda reasons. After the brutal losses at the beginning of the Guadalcanal campaign they needed the moral boost at home.

A fashion show for the Germans

I moved to Germany and now live in Koblenz. The building that they are broadcasting from is nextdoor to me. The crack in the brickwork is still visible.

No political acts? no pro Palestine protests? No trump supporters?, thats the real america we all know😊

My people want Vietnam government give back my people homeland in the central highlands

My uncle would arrive in Vietnam in December of 67 with the 25th Infantry.

No thought of the long term effect on those poor soldiers!!😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

My Dad was on the Bullard. Never spoke about anything. I found his diary after he passed. He was in some scary stuff with the Kamikazes

Omg,after 30 years of searching I finally found a video that shows my grandfather's ship in action, LST343. Thank you.

Not so tuff.

Dad was in this unit for the last 4 or 5 months of the war in 1953, so isn't in this video, but there isn't much about this unit out there to begin with. He did tell me he would get shot at by snipers while fixing lines though, and said he was on patrols often. Not sure where that all happened. Thanks for the video.
