No disrespect to the veterans, but there wasn't even a remote possibility that Japan or anyone else would be able to invade the US, Just take it for what it was. An enemy that needed to be dealt with, but never had a chance of invading your country.

[@samik83]

@@andins761 I know. Just the way he framed it made it overly dramatic. The freedom of US citizens were never in any real danger. Even if they tried it wouldn't have gone far. Maybe I got triggered because my country was actually in that position back in ww2. Soviets tried to invade our country (Finland). The odds were not in our favor with the man power they had.

My Pop served in WW2, I know bits n pieces, but my grandfather a Vietnam veteran doesnt talk to me about pop often anymore. He was a driver for one of those half track thingos, like a tank withour a roof. He was an Australian WW2 Veteran, this past Anzac day, I wore his medals and got reminded about him once more. I remember little of him as I was probably 7 at his death, but I remember he made it a tradition to fill two big Jars full of silver coins over a year, he would then give them to my brother and I.. I kind of regret being too young and oblivious to what he had done, otherwise I would have spent more time with him, with the little time we had together, but I was only a kid at the time, who can blame me. Atleast I still talk about him and acknowledge him to this day.

Every time I watch these films they bring a tear to my eye. Like many, my family too has a history from the World Wars. Watching these films brings back the memories of when I was a child hearing stories from my Grandfather. My Mom's Dad passed when I was very young. He was a WWI vet and was awarded 2 purple hearts. He was left for dead in France by the Germans and later recovered by the British. My Dad's Dad, WWII Vet Chief Gunners Mate, was on ships just like in this film. Hearing the stories he would tell me. He also was in the Korean War. He retired after almost 30 yrs in the Military, 2 years Army, 28 yrs Navy. There is even a story to how that happened. Both my Grandfathers have passed. I think of all they had to go through, all they had to see. Then today you look at the USA as a whole. How divided we are. It saddens me so much. People in my neighborhood don't even fly the Flag on National Days of Remembrance. Every Day I have my flag out and I have someone walk by at least a couple times a week and ask me why. I just look at the flag, and I look at them, and I say, So many people died so I could be here right now. That you walking enjoying your day could be here. People forget so easily. I choose not to. The conversation usually goes on a bit longer and they walk away. Please folks, don't forget your history. We are not a perfect country by no means, but we as a nation can do great things. "All Gave Some.....Some Gave All". GOD Bless You All 🙏 and Thank You for these Films. Thank You.

I'm Polish. My grandma was figting in September 1939 in Poland. After beeing defeted, he has been fighting in Polish resistance between 1941-1945. He was shaving himself the same straight razor that army gave him in 1939 when he was drafted with 19. He passed away in 2010 and lifed round 90 year's. I keept this Soolingen straight razor as a suvenire. He was taughtes man I ever know. Never complained and always seeing bright sight of life. As you American's used to say: "greatest generation". Few lines about USMC. If I would born an American, definitely I would joint to USMC as a volunteer. Why? Because it's my favorite military unit. My uncle was a warrant officer in Polish Navy and once he gave me a book called "Storm over Pacific" (in Polish written by Polish historian and ww2 vet Zbigniew Flisowski). It's 2 volums and about 2000 pages. I had readed it in a week. It's a book about Pacific Campaign 1941-1945. I remember absolutely fascinating stories about amphibian assaults all over Pacific: from Guadalcanal until Okinawa. Because of this, I bought few books about this theater: I have memories of Eugen Sladge, biography of Nimitz, book about campaign on Guadalcanal and Okinawa. I'm not an American, but hell I would like to be a Marine. Once a Marine, allways a Marine! Semper Fidelis Devil Dog's!

Joshua and the staff at Memoirs of WWII, these interviews are absolutely priceless. This channel should be mandatory viewing in high school. Maybe these youngsters will realize what the Greatest Generation sacrificed for posterity. Thank you very much.
