Thanks for sharing. I had a similar experience. My dad landed D +3 . His war was just starting. Wounded, captured and escaped pow hospital returned to duty. I cared for my mother and father in their end. Dad passed 6 months after my mom. At 89 and 79 respectfully. ✌🏼🇺🇲

I know it’s been three years since your post, but, as a younger American, I will ALWAYS be in a debt of gratitude to The Greatest Generation. When I start to complain (about who knows what and whenever), I come back to these stories (and posts), which humble me greatly. My grandparents were from that generation. I miss them dearly. 🙏🏻

Well said and .......... RISE UP !!

You are correct. My dad landed on omaha beach that morning, he passed 4-2-13 at 90 yrs. Great man. He had a brother who fought in the pacific during WW2. He passed earlier this year. He made it to 97. Damn i miss those guys. I'm honored to say i helped them both every day especially towards the ends of their legendary lives. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

William Menendez thank you for sharing a piece of their story!

God bless him and thank you!

D Cowboys Thanks, I’m always happy to share his story!😃

Korea was a hell of a lot tougher than D Day, for sure. In D Day, they were facing a few Germans who were soon killed. Most of them didn't have a single bullet fired at them. In Korea, soldiers faced thousands of charging Chinese and Korean soldiers, with hand to hand combat. No comparison.

SugarTomAppleRoger Yeah, my grandpa served on the front line and one time mentioned how cold it was in those mountains with no warm clothing. He had the scars and medals to prove how tough it was, he had grenade shrapnel blown into his shoulder, and received a Purple Heart, Bronze Star, and Battlefield Commission. He went through a lot there, killing people, seeing people get killed, almost being killed, etc. and he lived with it for over 67 years up until he died in 2017. He never had ptsd or anything, but he never talked about his experiences.

I would have loved to have asked my grandfather about his experiences, but he passed away when mom was a little girl. Actually both grandfathers passed away when my folks were young and I don't know if dad's dad served or not. I know one of my great uncles did, and that I only found out after both he and my great aunt passed. I remember being really young, I'm talking under five, and going to their place. But I was too young at the time to even realize the war had existed. Then we moved out of the area for a while and when we moved back my folks always talked about going to visit them at their place but never did. By that time I was in my teens and knew about the war and had an interest in it. We'd see them at family get togethers for the holidays but I never even thought about the fact that he might have served. Even at his funeral I never realized he'd been in the war. It was only after my great aunt passed and we were helping to remove some of the stuff from their house did I see a plaque on the wall that said he'd served in the war, and if memory serves it said he'd been part of D-Day. I really wish now I'd thought to ask him about it. Maybe he'd have wanted to share stories with me, maybe not. I'll never know now.

My grandfathers brothers served in the pacific theatre in the Second World War, my grandfather never talked about them neither my mother never heard about them. Thank you for your service ❤️

Trippy Tactics I agree bro. I said the same thing. Almost all of them would dodge the draft

Nailed it.

yea im 22 i am a bit too coward charge into certain death

@James Smith right refuse to being draft into värnplikt in sweden ya get fined or community work.. but i didnt get at 18 or 19.. i have to much problems to being drafted anyway xd

Yeah the new generations are a bunch of pussies. Half can’t figure out their gender, half think they’re owed $18 an hour working at Burger King

So true and sad.

I share your wonder and appreciation, but a headstrong charge into certain death is not something to admire.

Im of german decent my Grandfather was on the beach, he was German he was forced into the battle and didnt want to kill a single soul, and didnt want his other german buddies to die either though. He got shot 3 times by allies in the leg, chest, and arm and managed to live but was injured badly, a day later the allies approached the beach, and saw him he said he was suprised to see that some were still merciful to Germans, he got taken care of and didn't want to talk about what happened much those few days, but I mourn for both sides who were forced to fight even when they didn't want to. I hear most of the allies suffered but the majority of Germans fought in fear and alot didn't want to. He loved both sides very much and unfortunately ended up on the Germans he moved to the USA later on but had alot of people judge him because of that and had ptsd and didn't talk to many after that but its sad to hear how many people must of gone through the same thing and worse and the people who died and got burried by the sand the bombs threw over them so to speak.

Evil will always be around

@@TheGoldenWarden Both sides fought for something, I understand that clearly in my mind.

@@TheGoldenWarden that is an amazing story I wish I new more I guess what it all boils down to is War as hell for both sides

Matthew P The leaders of both sides chose to go to war, the soldiers were the ones that fought and paid the price. It’s the leaders fault and when the people learn to lead the leaders will follow.

Germans wanted to fight anywhere other than the Eastern Theatre. Shows how much more worse it was over there.

I give thanks to your grandpa. true hero

I dont blame him for not talking bout it it was a horrible sight to be a medic but he is a hero

I sometimes try to imagine it, but it is just full of fear and horror. I am a coward when it comes to imagining what would happening if I was in war, but sometimes i wish i was a ww2 soldier so a man who fought could live a better life and i could sacrifice myself

N Iger Sometimes i dream of it when i sleep. I always dream im in WW2 for some reason and that i did something that sacrificed my life for others. But to really be in war to me. Im to big of a coward. The guns artillery mines tanks bombs I’m just to cowardly to get hurt and feel the pain for my country

they are real life gods.

most forbidden documentary. Europa The Last Battle at archive . org

My grandfather lost both his legs in that war from 2 separate attacks. After it was over, he was among the first veterans to receive the hand controls to operate a vehicle without using your legs. Later on he just learned to drive with his wooden prosthetic legs and did so for years - legally! Many people never knew he wore them cause he didn’t let that stop him from going on with life. When i was young i can remember him walking behind a push mower and climbing up ladders. And oh yes he would fall from time to time. I believe it was his faith in God and his faithful wife (over 50 yrs) that kept him going. I grew up sitting on his lap after he had his bath and took “his legs off”. His grandchildren and great grandchildren brought him so much joy. I’m grateful for his sacrifice and that i was able to know him.

Same my great grandfather was on the Portuguese reserves if hitler invaded and he said to his Commander "how will we defeat hitlers forces" and his commander said "we will give them trouble" as the Portuguese were noted as some of the best fighters in the world Salute to all who fought Thank you

@@sebastiandomingos335 is your great grandfather still alive?

No he died in 2001 but my grandparents still are

Robbie my grandpa was a radio tech on the LCI 22 Flag ship in the South Pacific. He recalls all of his memories as if it was yesterday! He just turned 99 on May 7th. My other grandfather fought in the battle of Normandy on DDay. He soon got Hodgkins Lymphoma after returning and passed away age 32. I wish I could’ve been able to know him and hear his experiences. I do know that he suffered from “shell shock” and spent some time in a Colorado Springs asylum after returning.

same here. my grandfather was in the Australian navy and witnessed kamikaze attacks.

@Checkmate Chess Channel lmao salt

Checkmate Chess Channel You don’t know what your talking about. You need to learn before you speak. Your making yourself look like an idiot online, the more you talk the dumber you look. The U.S imposed strict sanctions on the Japanese because of the invasion of China, when japan invaded China they raped and murdered hundreds of thousands of people (Nanjing Massacre) In light of such atrocities, the United States began passing economic sanctions against Japan, including trade embargoes on aircraft exports, oil and scrap metal, among other key goods, and gave economic support to Guomindang forces, (which was china’s national political party). Read this article and educate yourself before you make yourself look like an idiot online again.
