You call this a youtube channel, I feel like you are selling yourself short. Yourself and your colleagues have created an accessible archive to the past and done more for preserving history than any group of people I can think of. You are heroes in your own right and If i was rich i would fund every resource you needed to continue what you do. You make me VERY proud to call myself a historian and with people like you in this world, no veteran will ever feel like their story is untold. May God bless you, your family and all your endeavors.

Great work JD. I met a guy in the 90's who served with Audie Murphy. He said from Africa up through Europe. Said he was in the 101st something. Said Audie Murphy was so drunk on their last portrait at the end of the war, they had to hold him up. I just donated $101 for your trip. JR

Can any of us really imagine just how important this is for these veterans to return to a place where they fought a battle and to see how it is now? As we age we all want to return somewhere important in our past to remember it and to see how it has evolved, but returning to a battlefield must be almost transcendental.

I would love to go, in honor of my great grandfather, "Tom" Turner. He didn't speak much of the war, but after watching "Saving Private Ryan" in the theatre, he said he would like to go back to Germany to see what it was like without war. We believe he was in the Battle of the Bulge. He was a rifleman on a halftrack. U.S. Army 5th Armored Division 47th Armored Infantry Battalion B company. He was awarded 3 bronze stars for his campaigns in the Ardennes/ Alsace, Rhineland and central Europe; as well as the medal of good conduct. He passed away in 2003. He would be 102 if he were still with us. I believe he was where you are going. I admire him very much.

These men are all around 100 years old. Travel isn’t the easiest at that age.

and the attention to detail and research that was a long time ago it is important that these heroes have a voice too and they had in the 80 years remembrance again reflect what we should have done every year - these men were forgotten - and the the stories I was told will last for me a long time

I am one of those who cannot give financial support...However, I love what you are doing for these veterans, and for the preservation of the history. While I cannot give money, I can offer my prayers, for safety, good health, enjoyable times, and success in preserving their stories. Thank you.

Their stories are so important, now more than ever. Everyone should sit down and listen to these veterans experiences and stories before they are lost to time. Thank you for bringing them to the wider global audience JD ❤

I wish you would consider taking any surviving participants to Manila for the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Manila, February 3-March 3, 1945. My father, who passed away 44 years ago, fought there, participating in the liberation of the internees at the University of Santo Tomas.

My mom was not able to return to Europe. She was among the 49 original WACs that was with Gen. Bradley, 12th AG, SHAEF HQ Eagle Rear. It’s hard to envision her climbing down the ships rigging to jump into a landing craft... My mom wore combat boots.

I'm really glad that y'all have been able to as many veteran trips/interviews as you have so far. Just curious, why would this be the last of such trips?? Sure hope it isn't (for the sake of other veterans who might want to go back, as well as we who would like to hear their experiences)??

Speaking of the 2nd World War, I don't know if you are planning to go to Oradour sur glane in France to talk about the martyr city and what happened there. In any case, very good video, thank you.

Battleship Missouri has their own YT channel. I can imagine there will be a lot of interest!
