I’m here.

I picked & played this specifically for my Grandpa at his funeral in 2016. He was an extremely decorated WWII Veteran. A member of the Elite Merrill's Marauders, an all volunteer unit. His allegiance to this Country doesn't end there. About 20 years ago he informed us, casually I might add, that he was a Code Talker during the war as well. Native American Code Talkers are the reason we won the War in my eyes. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for his acts of bravery Above & Beyond the call of duty. He never spoke much about the War when I was growing up & now I understand why. He was one of roughly 200 men who survived hell and back numerous times during their operations to overtake the Japanese. Of the original 2997 that volunteered for Merrill's Marauders, only 130 were found fit for duty when the missions were complete. He had no Heros welcome home by any means. He still was not allowed to enter the Businesses in Harlem, MT. Many of these businesses that proudly displayed signs stating "NO INDIANS ALLOWED" are still in operation today in our small town. At 92 years old he was officially Named the Chief of the Nakota people in Fort Belknap, MT for his acts of bravery. This scared Chief Ceremony had not been done for over 130 years. I am beyond blessed that my daughters were old only enough to witness this & remember this scared Ceremony. My youngest daughter actually participated in the Ceremony that day. Additionally, yes Additionally, he was awarded an Honory Doctorate from Montana State University Northern in 2012 for all his humanitarian contributions to not only the people of our Reservation, but the entire Country. Yes, I am extremely proud to be a direct decendant of this honorable man. Dr. Gilbert Horn Sr., Chief Return's with Prisoner Horse of the Nakoda Tribe. But to me he was Grandpa 💞 Thanks for reading if anyone is still interested 😀

A lot like my dad. Coming from a VERY long line of military veterans, he enlisted in the Army at 16 (they had to lie about their age back then & could get away with it, plus his family was very poor, his dad being killed in a auto crash while coming back from fighting in WW1, when my dad was 2, & had 5 older sisters, some old enough to easily be his mother), & he fought in Korea sometime afterwards. My gram never accepted any public nor military assistance, & she worked for 5 cents/hr at a bakery. But Dad met some great friends during that time. My fave was a guy who was in the Marines fighting there. As luck would have it, he was from the same small mountain town my family lived, & shortly after I arrived in the world ('69), the man had opened a biker bar. Lol My crazy biker cousin on my mom's side would take me & my bestie in, starting when we were 15, & leave us. So many classic rock songs playing constantly (back then, classic rock was 60's & 70's, mostly), a lot of games of pool played & darts thrown, awesome food, spectacular people, & unbeatable memories. It's still the same today, minus the bikers & fixed up, of course. I.D.'s weren't exactly a top priority back then, especially there. The owner was always sitting on the same stool, far end of the bar, & it appeared he was always sleeping, because his eyes were closed when you got close enough to see. Fooled me! He was not only aware I was in there, he also knew who I was, somehow (Dad had spies for me EVERYWHERE!!) But the owner was really cool about it, never telling my dad because he knew my dad well & knew he would've made me suffer, horrendously, lol. He actually served me & kept an eye on me when things got rough there, as it often did. That was my regular spot until I moved out-of-state at 25. What I did not know a lot of those yrs was that one of my grade school teachers was the owner's wife, but she was never there, thank goodness! Lol I came back a few yrs ago (4/2021) to spend my parents' last yrs with them, along with my older brother. My bestie of nearly 45 yrs & I still go there, & although that owner has long ago died, his family still owns & runs it. My old teacher even makes appearances sometimes. That family is top-of-the-line people, always. Dad died in Jan '23 at 90-yrs-old, Mom just passed a few mos ago, in March, at 88. My youngest son is now a U.S. Marine, just starting his 7th yr. I thank all who've served, & I appreciate them very much. ❤

At my last foster home I heard this song. Every year or so since then, I think about it. Today on the way to my “grandmas” funeral… I watched the video finally again. The line about not knowing what is hiding behind the gray, then the change to in color, made me hopeful. It made me remember that though some days are gray, I shall enjoy the moments in color right now, so one day, I can share of my times with whoever is willing to listen. That makes me hopeful for a better future. Thank you, Jamey✨ May all those reading, be blessed✨

In the 40's after the bombing of Pearl Harbor the US was no longer playing an indirect role in WWII.

Songs reflecting absolute truth are so moving, and so sorely, sorely missed. Thanks Jamey.

This by far is one of the greatest tributes I’ve ever heard to the heroes of World War II. Both my father and my uncle served. My uncle was killed at the battle of coral sea as part of the marine detachment on the USS Lexington. My father served as well in the army. Fortunately he did come home. I wish he could’ve heard this song. I remember being a kid, and him calling the music I listen to jungle music. I know he would’ve appreciated this one though. Love and miss you dad and uncle Ed.

My grandpa on my mom's side served in the Pacific on the US Enterprise, he was a radio tech - I was too young when he passed but saw his b&w service photos. My dad's dad served in the army in France during 44-45 when they were pushing the Germans out of small villages in tanks - just a decade prior he was in a cornfield, giving bird calls & shooting whatever came out of the trees for supper. I love this damn song.

That was a strong ship there too. It’s survived a few attacks.The USS Lexington a.k.a. the gray ghost. They actually brought it back afloat and got it operable. If my memory serves me correctly, it’s either in California or Texas as a museum. Both our relatives, we are true heroes. My father served in the army as petroleum engineer. Anybody that serves this country in a protective manner, is a hero in my eyes.

We have a photo of great-uncle Bill in 1945. He's smiling with the family. It was in black and white. What it doesn't show is the damage of being a POW of the Japanese for three years. Ulcers in his eyes rendered him virtually blind and malaria paralyzed him from the waist down when rescued. By the time of his discharged he recovered from if his sight and could shuffle walk. In the photo he's smiling. Inside he was mentally and physically wrecked. Then to add to the problems, my grandfather, who also served in the war with the Army, comes home with a Japanese bride! The family was either cold or openly hostile to Grandma, the exception being one of Grandpa's brothers, Thomas, and Uncle Bill. According to Grandma, Uncle Bill never raised blamed her for what happened to him, name called, cursed, or even raise his voice at her, but he would not stay in the room with her for very long. His name was was Corporal William Lee McMillan, USMC, Company M, 4th Marine Regiment. Captured in the Island of Corregidor in April 1942. Rescued at Bilibid Prison, Manila in February 1945.

Hello, how are you doing today? Thanks for your love and support❤️😊❤❤

This song could have been written about my granddad, WW2 and Korea, and my beautiful blue eyed grandmama ❤ came on the radio as I headed to work one day to open a coffee shop at 4am - by the time I got home at noon, my cousin was calling with the news that he had finally joined her, 4 months after she passed ❤

This song takes me back to the early 90s. A six year old sitting at a kitchen table listening to a ball game on the am radio looking at a black and white photo album with my hero (grandfather). Verse two hits me so hard, my grandfather flew a b-17 throughout ww2 fighting in 8 different battles including D-day. He also had a unbreakable bond with his tail gunner. It makes me sad knowing where we came from, and knowing how hard our ancestors fought for our land and liberties while our leaders piss it all away. Amen and god bless to all who have severed, sacrificed, and died for our country 🇺🇸

This song reminds of my 92 year old Dad's life. He grew up as son of a farmer in North Carolina. He was in WWII and Korea. That generation never complained. They just took care of each other.
