Bonita Crawford's interview for the Veterans History Project at Atlanta History Center

I really enjoyed this interview. I really enjoy all of them . This one is well done with good sound quality and I love the pictures. I wish there were close ups of them. She is very articulate and easy to listen to and I am not just saying that because I too am a Catholic. My Ancestry is Northern Italian and Portuguese Azores . When My relatives immigrated to the U.S. they came right out to the West Coast so I grew up not knowing how backward and racist many American’s can still be in their beliefs .i am about the same age and My friends who served in Europe have many stories about building Pontoon Bridges and driving low geared Army trucks on the Autobahn with high geared European Trucks passing them. The Army trucks do better on the roads with steeper grades, the German’s have flattened out their Highways using elevated section’s that in the U.S. have trucker’s shifting to lower gears. I have a beautiful Wife so She will not be jealous or upset if I say that Bonita has aged very well and is easy on the Eyes so to speak and pleasant to listen to.

BS.....Her father was born in 1915 and served in WW1? Fact check the math! Not possible.

I believe she was speaking of her grandfather.

@@jdcage Nice try ....A group of us Veterans watched it 5 times.... Multiple times she said her father ......Fact check and accuracy! Have no confidence in anything this channel puts out in the future!

With respect, it’s easy to misspeak when you’re being interviewed.

@@jdcage It's a HISTORY channel.... History should be ACCURATE.....Are you saying history should be rewritten?

Regarding the accuracy of dates , i have watched many interview’s , many times people who really did live through historical events will make error’s in their recollection’s ,for example stating that Pearl Harbor was bombed on December 6th when We know and certainly they too did know that it was Dec. 7th. If You watch enough of these and know the facts , You realize that with the passage of time and advance of years the old saying that Hindsight is alway’s 20/20 is not alway’s true. Also if anyone has a gripe about anything in a interview why be so belligerent about it? My Uncles , friends a Son and Nephew are combat Veteran’s. My Son was a paramedic in the 1st Armored Division and also detached for service with the reconstituted Iraqi military and police forces before making a career in the Army as a Doctor in the Green Beret’s . Nome of those combat veteran’s are so lacking in grace as to insult someone .
