That is awesome. Your dad came from a time when men were men, and you did what you had to do to get the job done. My grandfather was a gliderman/airborne in the 82nd. He entered the war through Holland along with British paratroopers in Operation Market Garden. I never really knew until watching Band of Brothers back then, and I recognized the patch on their Garrison cover was the same as in my grandads photos. I wish I had known him. I was told he never talked about the war other than his time in England before the push into Holland.

@@thezodiackiller420you were a veteran of this operation?

Hear hear. This isn't going to be nice. But here goes. What really chaps my American a__ is how my fellow American vets had to sacrifice themselves in much larger numbers while dinky winky Brits/Canadians took the easier routes. This "Brit" vid acts like Brits caught all kinds of Germans. Bull sh--. The moronic queer sounding narrator actually has the nerve to say that Americans didn't know where much of Europe was on a map. LOL. That's why we'd had better training and valor when it came to that time of war. Of course, they had to know maps very well...even if most war vets weren't really aware of exactly where they were headed. That's part of war anyway duh. More Americans died but they captured more and destroyed more of enemy weaponry and bases. Yes, the RBA helped significantly but as it seems Americans did the grunt and detail all the way through. Not entirely of course, but sort of reminds me of Americans in the private yachting industry and yet these losers in Euro-TrashVille have the nerve to revel in putting Americans down to this dammm day. Guess what, LIKE we care. We're still the main character in the English international world, Mr and Ms BooHooJealousy. Glad you're enjoying our industries and technology STILL. And we don't have to speak your overtly pedantic "queens" English. What a joke. You never really deserved us in the first place. AND your "commander" Mont-Weeny something was too slow and cowardly to handle this years before. If he's such a hero, why did he wait years too long before these vermin spread throughout Europe? It wasn't our land anyway. So for all Americans who've been vets present, past, way back during the War....YOURE WELCOME. Yeah shut up.

My gpa was also on the beaches of Normandy, he still talks about it today he was stationed in Ft. Riley, Kansas, he was an Army Ranger on one of the first 50 boats to arrive onto the shore, I guess when they landed as soon as the ramp came down he told me his buddy got shot in the face and he tried to drag him onto shore but the water was too deep so he had to leave him and that the water was in fact pure red from left to right he said he hadn’t ever been more scared in his whole life. He had gotten shot in the leg several times I guess the medic that was helping him got shot in the neck and another medic came over to help and he got blown to pieces from a German hand grenade. I couldn’t imagine being there I think I’d shit my pants. My gpa made it out alive though he told me many stories about his experience, I love listening to him speak about it. He’s still alive and 97 years old, can’t believe what all he had to do through I am very proud of him.

I had the honor of meeting a man, who was 82nd airborne from st. Marie's Idaho. The story is he and 3 others from there all made the 82nd, and all returned. Delmar Shaw. He said it was because they knew how to shoot, and they were tough because of the logging they did. He had many stories, and he had a way of telling them that'd make you smile. He refrained from the bad ones. He went on an honor flight to Washington to see the memorials, and to me, was larger than life and a true American. Salute to you my friend, RIP.

@@dennispfeifer7788 That's correct. It's also correct that Stalin's Russia started out at the beginning of WW2 on Hitler's Nazi Germany side against the Western allies. The Hitler-Stalin Pact (also called the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact) signed on 23rd August, 1939 in Moscow, laid the foundation for the outbreak of WW2 in Europe. The Treaty included that Germany and the Soviet Union agreed on the partition of Poland and Eastern Europe, including Finland. Of course Hitler eventually double-crossed Stalin, but considering Russia had been an ally of the west during WW1, it's an example of how another Russian leader could not be trusted. Putin is cast in the same mold as his soviet era counterpart.

@@THEENERGYINHALER First of all, Democrats of today need to remember that Frank;in Roosevelt wanted no part of putting black soldiers in combat, preferring to go along with the status quo by keeping them in support role. It was only due to the constant pressure applied by his wife Eleanor that black combat soldiers and pilots were finally approved. Secondly, racism is alive and well today and just as caustic and degrading as back then but I feel it is maybe worse because it is more covert and insidious.
