I was knocking on doors to encourage people to get out to vote next year in the presidential primary and was blessed to be greeted by John George. I saw he was wearing a hat indicating he was a veteran and I thanked him for his service. He then shared with me a bit about his experiences. We commiserated about the state of the country today. Mid-way he stopped and said "wait, I have something for you". He went inside for a minute or two and came out to give me a signed copy of his book. I just finished reading it and found this interview online (which he mentioned doing). What a brave and kind gentleman he is. I feel so fortunate to have met him.

It won’t be long before there are no more WWII veterans left. That’s why these recorded interviews are so important. I was grateful that the interviewer just let him talk without interruption. He made reference to a book, Cheaters Of Death. I will look for it.

in the UK, a couple of years ago we lost our last surviving WW1 "Tommy." A wonderful man named Harry Patch, who went on to become a vociferous detractor of warfare, and spoke eloquently in relentless support of the sacrifices of our Grandfathers, on all sides of that horrific war, and he was an ardent humanitarian. His passing initiated a lengthy national mourning, such ws the esteem he and his ilk are held in by the British public. it will be another sad day when the final WW2 generation are gone.

I am 36 years old, and I am the only person my age that I know that actively seeks these stories out. Most of my generation don't seem to remember or even care about the heroism of our forebears. We cannot repay them for their service, nor thank them personally. But I will remember. And so shall my sons.

I am 29 and listen to one if these stories every day at lunch. Whoever coined the phrase "never forget" after 9/11 must have forgot what happened only 2 generations before.

Our vets deserve nothing but honor and respect. We owe these people EVERYTHING! I’ve worked in healthcare for over 10 years. Most of that time spent caring for our elderly and disabled. Any time I meet a veteran, I can’t find anything but love and respect for these men. I’ve got 2 men who served in Vietnam in my care right now. Both have dementia, one much worse than the other. But my oldest fella wears his Marine Corps Veteran cap everywhere. They were both wandering around the halls at 3 am and one noticed the other. They’re best friends now. The stories I’ve heard between these two broke my heart. One of these men is there for post surgery rehab. The other was homeless and very mentally unwell when he was found nearly frozen to death outside under his tarps. Both had been through the worst of the worst, and found each other all these years later. It’s incredible to see. The first ever patient I’d ever had the privilege of caring for, was an incredibly respected and accomplished man. Career military man all the way to Brigadier General during WW2. I only had a chance to know him for a short time. He passed the day before Veterans Day, in 2013. I HIGHLY recommend learning about him if you’re interested. I’m very proud to have been a part, however small, of this man’s life. I’ll never forget the kiss he planted on my cheek during dinner on my first day of clinical rotation. He was an amazing man. Dr. Harvey Fraser, was my first patient as well as my first loss, it still haunts me. I was hysterical all the way home that morning. He’s now buried in West Point cemetery in NY. We love you sir! And all the other amazing men who fought and were lost in these battles.

A friend of mine died recently. He was ninety years old, served in the Royal Air Force (after World War Two) and he used to tell me stories about growing up in Birmingham, England during the Blitz. He spoke about it so casually and matter-of-factly, but the things he described just hit me so hard. Stories of burning buildings and shattered lives. I can't even imagine what that must have been like. Mr George has my undying respect. All of the soldiers and civilians who lived through that hellish war have my undying respect.

If I heard correctly he had 7 or was 1 of 7 , in his family so 7 kids and mom and dad so that's 9 , imagine feeding that many every day .To think starvation was in there minds ,perhaps even cannibalism. It brought tears to my eyes because , I see people today acting like they deserve and unlimited EBT and all the section8 vouchers they can hold . something I was pondering on was he said he lived in Michigan , no matter where at the growing season is not like it is in the south , could you imagine hunting for a deer with no gun, and having to forage for berries and greens .Listening to men and women like this make me appreciate what little I have .

I served just over 5 years as a Canadian Paratrooper in the 80s but it was nothing compared to what the Paratroopers went through during WWII. I was proud to get my U.S Army jump wing from the 82nd at Fort Bragg and the Navy SEAL jump wing from Coronado, California. Those years were the hardest and the best years of my life in the Canadian Army. All Gave Some, Some Gave all. May they all R.I.P. 🙏

These recordings are vital, being first hand recordings of WWII veterans, This one especially, during the Battle of the Bulge, which was trench warfare which was a turning point for the Allied forces. Engrossing, which made me we was longer. Fantastic to see his eyes gazed up like his face really was illuminated as he recounted flares shot up by the Germans to see the surrounding area, checking for ever so slight movements by the American soldiers who lay in their foxholes, immobile to avoid detection. Such precious first hand experience that can never be replaced. Bravo to those behind this video recording project.

His amazing courage and story telling , we can't forget those special lucky men and women , their stories will be here for ever, spoken by soldiers who were their, all on KZread

Thank you so much for your service sir! My Dad was over there at that time. When I here the stories of men such as yourself it makes me wonder what my father went through.

He fought to protect country and his family at home, even though they were struggling to live back home. I always had great respect for soldiers and especially those from WW2. Hearing his story reminds me why. What heroes. God bless him.

I WILL never, “FORGET” all that have saved us in the U.S.A. NEVER FORGET !!!!

Thank you for your service!

The things that soldiers and civilians witnessed and lived through in this, and all others wars, is unimaginable to most of us living today. Things are stressful, but these folks were living with death and the clear and present possibility of their own deaths on a day to day basis. The fact that men and women, like this soldier, can clearly remember is shocking to us to hear. They must feel haunted by these visions nearly every day of their lives. The human spirit knows very few limits. All participants in such horrors, on all sides, are to be admired for their bravery and sacrifice and dedication to their countries.

You know, of all these videos I've seen, there was really only one guy that recounted how he killed a German. All the rest of these men dont seem to want to talk about what they themselves did.

@@billd.iniowa2263 I think no one wants to report a ‘Body Count’. That question is rude and immature. The important fact is that these men served with honor and great courage and did their jobs, as well as assisted the wounded and recovering the bodies of the dead. Thankfully these gentleman SURVIVED.🇺🇸

My great uncle was in the battle of the bulge. Thank you all for your service and inspiration. from a millennial i can say that you men were truly the greatest generation.

One of the greatest Americans this country has ever had, a true definition of a hero and patriot! Thank you Sir, God bless!

These men, many still just boys, really, saw more, accomplished more, learned more and earned more respect and adulation than I have in my entire life (turned 54 yesterday). What a treasure.

I'm your generation and I'm right there with you. I paraphrase Shakespeare's Henry V... "I hold my manhood cheap whilst any of these men speak!"
