Hi

[@somosgenel]

Great documentary; May I make a small suggestion for your future similar projects?. Can you please INCLUDE VETERANS WHO ARE CLASSIFIED AS BEING MEMBERS OF MINORITIES?. These brave men and women fought, were injured and some died defending the USA too. A country that marginalized and discriminated against them.

[@kevinpetre7445]

Thank you for preserving these stories, and sitting down with these heroes. Without these men, and your tenacity these stories would die, and be lost forever

[@Deovindice1918]

Robert White passed away yesterday 11/20/23. He was 100 years old. I’ll miss you, my friend.

[@aaronsnyder310]

Rest in peace Mr. White. You will forever be missed, admired, and appreciated for the sacrifices you made for us.

[@sarahmonk8273]

What absolutely extraordinary man! I feel honored and privileged to hear his story. It is heartbreaking that the last of these men are nearing the end of their lives. Even 100 years doesn't seem long enough. Younger generations could learn so much from these heroes. Rest in eternal paradise. Thank you for all you did for our country and also all the other countries (and people) suffering from the evil of that terrible time. And, YES, you are brave! You're the definition of brave.

A true warrior suppressing the memories we all got in war. No war eas different. WEI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Afghanistan. We will all see things in our. Dreams that we will never be able to talk about, even to others from others from other wars. Our experience was all different. I will never forget my combat. I can still hear the sounds, smell the dirt and copper from those that have been hit and smell the smell of death from people that died in terror. It never goes away. He's exactly right. About suicide. Though it will solve our problem, it does nothing for those weve left behind. I hope this warrior has found peace.

[@James-po6ib]

As a kid of the 80’s and 90’s, I’m used to WW2 vets being in their late 60’s and 70’s and being around everywhere I went. Now, at 43, so few seem to be out there and that’s hard to accept! Thank all of them for saving the world. USAF 1998-2022.

I was a kid of the 50s and 60s and these guys were all around. Many times you didn't know they were vets until years later reading their obituaries.

[@pamcm1098]

Every dad in my neighborhood growing up was a WWII veteran. My dad saw combat with the 41st Infantry, the Jungleers, in Hollandia, Biak, and the Philippines. My next door neighbor flew SBD Dauntless dive bombers off the Bennington. Two doors down was a PBY pilot with VP101, the Black Cats. Around the corner was a guy who received a battlefield commission at Guadalcanal, and went in again for Korea. Two doors down from him was my friend's dad who was aboard a destroyer escort that shelled beaches in the Pacific. Around the other corner, was a family friend who was a lead navigator in the 493rd Bomb Group. I did get a few stories from my dad, and did an interview with the B-17 navigator friend. It's a shame that none of them had an opportunity to sit for a formal interview such as this.

We couldn’t have a better generation of people. The men and women who served for the Allies are the reason we can enjoy our freedom today. It’s been around 70 years since WW2, but people walk around all day completely oblivious to how close the Nazi Germany came to taking over the world. If they would have taken smaller bites. They would have ruled the world.

[@DrownInLysergic]

@@mark4m557 They never would've ruled the world. They were a team of 3 countries against everybody else. They never would've won. And honestly you can barely even count Japan because they were doing their own thing in Asia they just had an alliance with Germany. Italy sucked. No matter what the Nazi's would've lost in the end. They never came close to ruling the world. They came close to ruling Europe.

I grew up in San Antonio T.X had family that fought in both Vietnam and WW2. I absolutely loved my uncle’s they were straight up honest guys. As for my self I grew up doing graffiti running from cops over all just a real piece of work. I’ve slowed down a lot. But I’ve always had this spirit in me to stand up for others and fight no matter the odds. I wouldn’t want my brothers to fight a war they don’t have to especially when there is still people like me and this man that will and have. There’s also this thing about wars when you’re put in a position, no matter where, you stay there and fight on because you don’t want somebody else put there to replace you. The admiration I get from hearing these men’s stories as well as my uncles. Thank you all so very much!

[@JulezWinnfield]

I spent 3 years as a paratrooper at Ft. Bragg in the 82nd Airborne Division back in the mid 80's. Listening to him reminds that being Airborne hasn't changed all that much since WW2. Hearing those same jump commands, "Stand up..Hook up..Check equipment" still gives me goosebumps. AATW, sir.

Thank you, my middle child’s best friend, they were/are tighter that two ticks on a hound dog. Brothers from other mothers. (Turns out, years later, we find out they are fourth cousins on his dad’s side, so go figure!) anyway, Lewis’ dad was 82nd, probably just before your service. Lewis is a commissioned officer, Captain, a Ranger and in the 75th. He was 1st Armored at Hood as a Lieutenant with Bradley’s, they went into Kuwait and southwestern (I believe it was) Iraq, small arms stuff mostly. He’s now over an ROTC unit in the midwest. I think his dad was a Sargent when he came out. My F-I-L was a SSgt. 9AAF, 346FBG, 107TacReconSqdn, P47’s; ETO Trinidad to the Ardennes 02 March 1942-9 September 1945 My dad served 9 years, 53-62 Army and VaNatGuard, he was a SSgt, 105 Field Artillery Bttln, Ft.

One of the best interviews I’ve seen. He’s speaking in random, honest cuts. Exactly how he felt. He’s embodied the feeling of war pretty clearly, especially the desire to kill after seeing your buddy in a bag. I was there for the fall of Baghdad, and my interview would last about 10 minutes.

Humble, willing to be vulnerable after 70 years, willing to give the ultimate sacrifice, and was both cognitive and lucky to not have to. But would have, just the same. And what's not talked about, is the PTS these men had to deal with, mostly alone, inside and with oneself, coming back to civilization, and civilized life, finding a new purpose, and becoming productive, after all they had gone through and experienced... Their Resilience is beyond belief. His resilience is beyond belief. To say Thank You, simply seems to fall short of true expression behind the words. But, Thank You, none the less.

Thank you so much for collecting and maintaining the stories of these men…this man. My dad was a medic in Vietnam. Purple Heart…PTSD…never wanted to talk about it. He passed away at 64 from non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. The government effectively admitted it was from Agent Orange exposure when they upped his disability payment with his diagnosis. I had two conversations with him about his experience when I was an adult. I wanted to know EVERYTHING but always respected that it shook him deeply. I never knew if I should push for more information or let it be. Fortunately, he left some journals he wrote when he attended a retreat in Washington back in the nighties for vets with PTSD. It’s heartbreaking to read them yet gives me so much more information I wish I understood when I didn’t understand him as a child and teenager/young adult. 😢 My maternal grandfather was in the South Pacific in WWII and passed when I was 19. We were close and I recall asking him about the war and getting pretty vague answers. My paternal grandfather was an MP captain and passed away in ‘52. I know little to nothing about him since he passed when my dad was 6 other than my dad fought to have my g’ma’s survivor benefits increased because he proved he suffered head trauma at some point before his death.

He is still alive and mental very good. He said he still feels like 18 years old and he still drives his tractor. No car driving. This part was annexed by Germany in 1940 but he did not have to go in the Wehrmacht because he was needed on his father's farm. He also told me how he saw how St. Vith was bombed by the Americans on Christmas day,1944.

He did not say a whole lot but occasionally he would tell some of it. He brought home his 7 millimeter rifle i shot it several times. I can always remember the flags flying in the nieborhoods i miss all of it those guys were tough. I learned some good fighting techniques from him and taught them to my grandkids. My granddaughter had three boys jump her in school and got her on groung she hooked ones leg pulled it to her and kicked him in knee and knocked him down and got up and beat the crap out of all three.

Holy crap what a story this is the 1st time I have heard about a soldier who experienced opening up a camp with a dead body God bless this guy.

My grandpa served from 1939-1955. He tells me stories all the time about the war but he always tears up when talking about the battle of the bulge because of all the friends he’s lost there and his brother.

Memories of the war tormented this man throughout his life, I only hope he found joy in other things, he deserves every good thing and so much more.
