If you didn't have tears in your eyes after watching this great American speak, I question if you're even human. My Grandfather was born in 1920. Enlisted in the Army in January of '42. Was stationed at the Panama Canal for security. Then transferred to New Guinea in 1943 and saw heavy fighting against Japan in the Pacific. He passed away in 2007 when I was 29. Sergeant Pekrul reminds me of my Grandfather - Pfc Michael Bandsuch, of Cleveland, Ohio.

Thanks for reminding us about the Panama Canal, way back then! The Army sent me down there after Operation Just Cause. When I was back in Panama in 2018, there was still some folks who were Noriega supporters. The vast majority were thankful to our military, saving their country! Probably much like a lot of countries in WW2. The Army is like a brotherhood. Please get as much info about your GrandPa and keep his memory alive! That would include making sure that your GrandPa has Great Grandchildren. Though in modern America, that's easier said than done. Thank you for sharing and pray for America.

Mr. William Pekrul - Thank you for your service! My dad proudly served on the USS Louisville CA 28 heavy cruiser in WW2 and passed in 2017 at age 92 and witnessed (52) sailors and Rear Admiral Theodore Chandler buried at sea due to (3) kamikaze hits in the Pacific. My dad always said you will never have to go thru what we went thru in WW2. God bless our service men and service women and veterans - Past and Present! It is great to hear the history as you have stated for only someone that was there could tell it as it was Great video!

The greatest speech I have ever seen. Not because he is an unbelievable orator but because this man sacrificed so much for us to live the way we do today. To come and make that speech reminds me that we have to work hard to ensure our country remains a republic and that we live in freedom. We are one generation away from losing the freedoms we have. We owe it to William and our families and ancestors to cherish our freedom and our country and honor the sacrifice that so many have given.
