Thank you for your service. I grew up with this generation. All my aunts and uncles served in the war or were nurses or worked in the war production efforts. All of them are now deceased. God bless all of the men and women who served. Good luck with your mission young man.

We owe so much to men like him. Thank you Sir for our freedom.

My uncle fought on Okinawa and never spoke about what he saw there. The only thing he ever mentioned was that they did not take prisoners. He was struck on top of his helmet with a dud round from a Type 89 grenade discharger and woke up 2 weeks later in a Chinese hospital.

Read the recent book, “the mosquito bowl”. Ostensibly about a football game staged in Guadalcanal, it is far more about the horrific battle of Okinawa. Few really comprehend the horror and slaughter that took place there.

I love these veterans. Love their stories.

I'm glad this young man is interviewing these vets....my father and father in law fought in WW2 and Korea and took their stories to the grave...

My father and most of my uncles (both by blood and by marriage) served in WW2, with either the US, or the Canadian forces. My mother, as an 18 year old girl, left the farm in Saskatchewan and went to work in the Bren Gun Factory in Toronto. They are all gone now... and most of their stories with them. Bless you Rishi and good luck in your efforts.

God bless this man. My dad also served on two AGCs, USS Estes AGC-12 and the USS Mt. McKinley AGC-7. He was a lithographer.

Seriously Rishi, what you're doing is simply amazing. I often times tried to get my father to talk about his experience but got nothing but a few bits here and there. He was in the 11th armored division and experienced the battle of the bulge and also was one of the unfortunates to discover mauthausen concentration camp. He was very religious prior to going through those gates but I suspect seeing pure evil will change you for a lifetime. Keep up the good work.

My dad enlisted as a 17 year old and was also in the 11th Armoured. He was at the Bulge and spoke of liberating Mauthausen. He was a hard core hunter. After the war he never hunted again.

Years ago I was in jail & whenever inmates would complain about the food I'd say, "it's better than eating seeds". When asked what I meant I went on to tell of a story I read about our pow vets that were picking seeds out of horse manure to eat because they were starved by their Nazi captors. I think of WWII vets whenever I'm having a tough time & what they went through for me to have a rough moment. Anything I've been through & probably will endure in life won't come close to the sacrifice our veterans went through in their foxhole with bombs & bullets flying... and I've been shot with a 12 gauge slug before. Still, that doesn't compare.

I had just purchased 4 ounces of weed from a friend & there was alot more there so I thought we were being robbed & someone came in like they were just gonna shoot everyone- what REALLY happened is a drunk guy with a 12ga shotgun let a round off from the apartment below that went through the floor, one piece went through my arm & there were 4 holes in the ceiling above me. Luckily only one of the 4 hit me.

My God this gentleman at 100 years old is sharper than I am at 67 years. The things that he did and witnessed on Iwo Jima, I don't know. Some things you just can't unsee in some of the sorrow and sadness on his face is just heartbreaking and palpable. This man and hundreds of thousands just like him my dad included as he served in the US Navy South Pacific and my mom was a wac. They made up the greatest Generation that saved us from the likes of Hitler and eventually Stalan. Winston Churchill said it best, never has so much been owed to so many by so few. I may have misquoted Churchill there but you get the idea. Thank you for your service sir.

Greatest generation ever! Thank you for your service

Pretty cool from a youngster, I've always been into talking with ww2 veterans and hear their testimonials

My father served in the marine corps in WWII and served in the pacific and landed on Guam and Iwo Jima. We owe him and all that served everything. Thank you for recording their history. We should never forget because we may have to repeat it.

WWII veterans are just a different breed. I work on an ambulance as a medic and actually got to transport a WWII veteran. The man was alert and sharper than most 70 year olds. I asked if he was a military man. And I could see his face go from smiles to a straight face stare. He was in the navy and told me he never could look at Japanese people the same till this day.

This was a very unique video Rishi, as regards the behind-the-scenes aspect to it, and the prelude you included sharing your own thoughts about our current shallow devisive culture and society. Good on you. Your own dedication and authenticity, and your genuine sense of gratitude to the vets are both nothing short of amazing. I'm trying to watch each of your videos, and will donate soon. I know this mission and calling claims a big part of your being, but just as you tell the vets that many are grateful to them, please know that many of us are grateful to you.

Breaks my heart listening to him!! Not the gore or horror but not being able to hear my grandfather tell me his stories…. Thank you for each of these!! If you come to Kentucky I’ll put you up a night and introduce you to a few veterans, if you’re interested

Rishi, I have so much respect for this. My grandfather served in ww2, and they don't get enough credit. I'm also addicted to any ww2 knowledge, so i get it. Thank you so much for this

Thank you Rishi

HUGE props to Rishi for actually cutting it and giving these heros time. A lot of reporters will intentionally word things certain ways specifically to get these men to cry and then that'll be the main focus. You actually respect these men. And they deserve it. Thank you.

Great work! Thank you for preserving their stories. The history books needs to be fleshed out with those who did the dirty job of fighting the war and ultimately make a victory for the Allies

Salute to this brother. 👍🌠💪

Your work is priceless. Many of us were unable to sit down with our grandfathers and hear their stories. My own grandfather served with the USAAF in China and passed away 15yrs before I was born. This interview with Mr. Perschitti brings me closer to the man I never got to meet. Thank you for this Rishi!

I believe this will become one of the most important historical treasuries on WWII. Thank you for taking the time to do this incredibly important work!

I’ve met Mr. Perschitti on numerous occasions and it’s an honor to be able to hear what he has to say and the wisdom he shares.

Keep up the excellent work! This is helping us to preserve our history, and remember where we’ve been. America’s greatest generation will always be a shining example of what we can accomplish together.

My Grandfather was 16 when he joined the US Navy at the end of WWII. He was first on an Aircraft Carrier. Then he spent the rest of his 42 year carrier in Submarines. He retired as a Command Master Chief serving in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam retiring in 1986. He passed away in 2006 having known a son, grandson, and great-grandson named in his honor. I loved him so much and this family believed in the sacrifices he made for his country. His picture, in his Navy regalia, hangs on the wall, proudly, in our living room, opposite that of my brother's Navy commendations. My Father and Brother were also US Navy Submariners serving in Vietnam and Desert Storm. My brother spent 20 years in the Navy then lost his life to brain cancer 4 years after he retired from the service at the age of 45 in 2011. My Uncle, my Grandfather's only son, (my mother's older brother) spending the better part of his military career in the shipyards, and his son, my cousin, also spent time in the US Navy during Korea, Vietnam, & Desert Storm. My Maternal Great-grandfather, two Great-Uncles and myself served in the US Army spanning the eras of WWI, Vietnam and Operation Iraqi Freedom. One of my Great-Uncles lost his life in Vietnam and his name can be found on The Vietnam War Memorial. I have since found his name and gained a rubbing of it. I encourage any American who values the country we live in, to visit the graveyards and memorials, if not the battlefields where the bodies of those who gave up their lives for the freedoms we so easily know (and have) can be found. Walk where they fought and died for a cause they believed in with their very lives. For us. Places where the earth was soaked with their blood and the waters ran red with the same. If you listen, close your eyes, you may still hear their cries of "freedom or death!". It is true. It did happen. And those places still exist. No matter the time, the place, or the campaign at hand, the code of honor was the same: "Protect this land from all enemies; foreign or domestic. Let Freedom reign." We all take for granted what was so evident so many years ago the freedoms handed to us every single day. We can continue to squabble about the "why's", the "what for's", "what we did to whom & how"... ...or we can recognize the precious gift of freedom we have right here, right now. So from a person who comes from a legacy of military people, some dead, some still living. Some killed in the line of duty, some quietly out of harms way... I plead with you- Never forget what has been given to you. Something so many others on this planet do not have. Something so many people died to give you and died to preserve. For as was quoted in this video: "They are the real heroes."

Terrific! If you haven't thought about it already every state has a nursing home exclusively for veterans I used to run a nursing home the CEO and in my nursing home they were several World war 2 veterans

My uncle was in the 5th marines on Iwo as a radio man forward observer. He didnt talk about it for 40 yrs until ptsd caught up to him. Thankfully he got help and finally opened up. God bless all those vetrans

Rest in peace Bob it was a true honor meeting you in person all those times

FYI. It´s quite remarkable and a blessing to witness and feel the tears of sorrow in Robert Perschitti after all these years. After 25 years in military service myself and earning a college degree the adventure and learning is priceless. Thank you Robert and may God continue to bless your heart and soul forever. God Speed My Friend.

So great man. You’re doing something amazing. And these vets are so admirable. They lived through the unimaginable. Our generations these days are lost compared to these people. I’m sure you have heard it before but there’s vets of other wars and combat situations that are unseen too. Let’s thank them all. I have family and friends that went to Afghanistan etc. whose lives were also changed through those experiences. Thank god for the brave men and women of this country’s armed forces.

You’re a good man Rishi. Thank you.

I love your work, it’s a great shame we have allowed the sacrifice of these brave men to be flushed down the toilet by dodgy politicians and the idiots that follow them.

Thank you for doing this important work Rishi. So many people are uneducated about the impact this war had on the individuals who fought it. We are forever grateful to them.

OUTSTANDING WORK! Great interview and keep 'em coming.

God bless this man and his service and bravery.

Thank you for your service. God bless you sir.

What a remarkable interview of this humble WW2 veteran. I tip my hat to you Rishi for your genuine mission to capture interviews with the relative few remaining WW2 veterans. Our elders in general are a gold mine of knowledge & history, but these you seek to interview hold first hand accounts of experiences that must be documented before that generation is no longer with us. My father was on the battleship USS Pennsylvania that was there at Iwo Jima, Battle of Leyte Gulf, Okinawa, etc. so partook in the island bombardment this great veteran witnessed from offshore. Dad was a 24 year old Ensign AA Fire Control Officer and didn’t talk much of his duty until later in his life. How I have regretted not picking his brain more regarding his duty before he passed at the age of 72. Luckily in his things I found remarkable notes and such of his experiences in WW2. I cherish them and will pass to my grandson that’ll see in extraordinary way for his dad, my my son in law, is Philippine, so there is a connection there. Again sir. Appreciate your efforts bringing these great interviews and capturing that history.

I live down the road from where he was born!
