This country will never come together ever again. Too many nationalities who will never recognize that they are American. America will never recover from this massive influx where we USED to have a Border.

These photos are priceless. The numerous sacrifices the Greatest Generation made to win the war against tyranny must never be forgotten. It's sad to think that fewer and fewer of these people are still living. It's refreshing to see that more and more people are recording interviews with soldiers from the Second World War so that their stories can be shared with future generations.

My grandparents were a part of that generation. One set of grandparents worked at Lockheed, my other grandparents; grandad was in the army ,stationed over seas, grandmother worked at Lockheed. True American heroes, proud of them.

Really enjoy your channel. Thank you

One of the saddest times yet the greatest time of unity for our great nation . I cry now for what this country has become and for what2 all those brave men and women fought for and died for . Absolutely disgraceful nowadays 😢.

Good choice of music and good time capsule.

Great WWII Photos!

Some awesome photos here.. Thank you.

In a word....beautiful. Thank you for archiving and presenting.

We were better looking back then. Svelte and stylish people.

Thanks ❣️

My father was a American soldier that came over to England and meet my mother but sadly went back to America without my mother he new she was having is baby but the good news is I did get to meet him and I'm proud to say that I have his Blood running through my veins I love eny think to do with the USA more than what gos one in England thank you for this video Carol in England

I am grateful for the opportunity to learn more about the history of the USA in the 1940s

thanks

Kudos. At &7:10 or so, Kingsville Field is now NAS Kingsville. They were the advanced training base for fighter and dive bomber pilots. We used to find intact dummy bombs to the south area of Kingsville. Kingsville and NAS Kingsville, is about 50 miles outside of Corpus Christi, and located in Kleberg County and not Nueces County. Not complaining, just adding info to your doc.

It would be interesting to see an episode on what American Women did to support the War effort. Rosie the Riveter , Victory Gardens , Etc etc.

I have read that the Victory Gardens were women who grew vegetables in their backyards and produced 1/3 of our vegetables during the war. My father served during WW2 all through the South Pacific. He was already in the Army (stationed in California) when the war began. I am a female and joined the Army as a WAC during Vietnam. I was a Medic.

Dad was in the Pacific with the AAF and Mother worked in a grocery store in Orange, Texas. Because of rationing, many things were difficult to obtain. Mother had a friend who worked in a movie theater. Mother would save some things for her friend who would provide Mother with popcorn. Because she'd heard the stories of how cookies and cakes were spoiled by the time they reached the soldiers and sailors, she would send Dad popcorn which wouldn't spoil regardless of the time it took to reach him. Dad would pop the popcorn and the aroma brought many guys to get a little taste of home. Dad said the popcorn was exceptionally popular and other guys wrote home to request that instead of cake and cookies.

Not your fault but KZread crammed in so many ads that it ruined your presentation. Don't worry, I'll keep on trying.

Japan attacking the USA on 7 Dec. 1941 began the War in the Pacific: it didn't start the War between Germany and the USA. THAT war started when Germany declared war on the USA on 11 Dec. 1941.

Just imagine being a G.I. looking at Rita Hayworth as she hands you something to drink in The Hollywood Canteen. Doubtful you would be able to recall your own name for at least two minutes.

I'm an old, white Boomer 'Murican, and I think that Japan is fantastic! Been to Japan eight times since 1973 (first time as a young sailor on summer break from college and visited Tokyo, Yokohama, Fuju-Hakone-Izu National Park, Kamakura, Kure, Hiroshima, Itsukushima, and Sasebo -- I was busy!) and have loved it each time (latest -- and maybe last -- visit in December 2023 was with my wife). On first visit, I was incredibly lucky to meet -- and get to know over a lovely weekend -- the volunteer tour guide who led a number of sailors around Miyajima shrine and temple complex and later gave me a private weekend tour of Hiroshima. What a beautiful young woman. A nation that can create such lovely, intelligent, educated young ladies has a wonderful culture. Our four Navy ships were greeted with wonderful fanfare in Kure that summer: town and port officials and their wives, musicians and drummers and a bevy of yukata-clad lovely girls dancing to the music met our ships at the dock. I fell in love with Japan that summer of 1973. Was later lucky enough to work for a large Japanese company in California and made four working trips to one of their factories north of Tokyo. Just loved it! 😍

@@johnc2438 I believe you are likely from the same generation as my parents. Thank you for liking Japan. Since you seem to be still healthy, I'm sure there will be another opportunity for you to visit again. Next time, please consider visiting regions to the north of Tokyo. The further north you go in Japan, the more delicious food you'll find. Take care of your health and may you live a long and fulfilling life. (If my automatic translation resulted in awkward English, I apologize.)

At 9:12 there's a pic of two women at Marinship, Cali. The woman on the right has an arrow penned onto her hand pointing at her wedding band (I assume it wasn't a tattoo). Was that a thing back then?

I would like to see a video on the black American soldiers(Male & Female) and which part of the battle were they placed. I also would like to see a video on all the black soldiers wives and children and their compensation by USA.

Shame the colourization is not accurate olive drab and khaki turned to blue!

Your colorist unfortunately got a lot of those uniforms' colors wrong: Khaki could not be post WWII. U.S. Air Force (or RAF)blue.

No political fighting then. All Americans are on the same side.

Colorization should be banned.

You create a fake distorted view of history when you make these disgusting colorized versions. Leave them alone and stop making cartoons out of them.

The colorizing is terrible. You pass this off as a documentary but cannot get the colors of uniforms correct. Really despicable.

PLEASE SHOW THE ENTIRE PHOTOS then pan in!!!!! thanks
