My Dad was with the 82 nd Airborn He was Machine gunned @ the Buldge. They packed him out on a wood door. They hit him 4 times . He almost got cut in half .. My Dad was my hero . He never talked about it until I came home from Vietnam. I was in the Marine Corps. They were the Greatest Generation ! We Miss him everyday !

It’s just so sad when we hear from the real soldiers. They were all young boys on both sides. Fighting for a cause that was beyond them. When we have memorial services every year I always take the time to watch these hero’s walk together to the German Cenotaph to shake hands and even hug each other. That would make a grown man cry. They were children when they fought but now they are old men who share the reality. Bless them all.

The problem is, the stories keep being told but the lessons keep not being learned. The only thing we learned is how to fight war better.

Interesting about the 7.92mm slug being left in his thigh. Even with the more modern surgical procedures, it wasn't any different from WWI. I spoke with a WWI Veteran that had the same injury and the doctors did the same thing. He carried that slug all the way to the grave.

War is terrible. My father-in-law was drafted into the mountain troops at the age of 18, was wounded and later became a British prisoner of war in Africa. He returned home as an adult weighing less than 50kg.

All these WW2 vets should be 100 year old or more now, did you record these interviews some years ago?

He films these every week or so with different veterans sometimes states apart. It takes a while to edit and upload these so this could be a few months old.

America treated German POW much better than the way we were treated. He's a very forgiving man.
