I just ❤ vids like this. Really fascinating & equally sobering. Isn't amazing that many of the places look the same today, just in color🤭? What's sad is that as time passes & society moves furthur & further away from that time, the majority of youth/young ppl lose interest & honestly could care less about the WW's., Korea & Vietnam. They don't realize the hell our soldiers & all the others' went through. The way they behave: burning flags, dancing & stomping on flags, looting etc. Only to have this behavior shrugged off & even condoned? What a disgrace. May they never be forgotten.❤

It pains me terribly to see what our country has become...the disrespect is inexcusable! I wonder what would happen if those who "protest" and hate America so much were to be given the option of living in a Soci*list/Com*unist country, would THAT make them happy?? Most of them are woefully ignorant of what that would actually entail. "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it!"

The Greatest Generation, including my father who served in the Pacific, fought bravely to stop the threat of the spread of authoritarian and Fascist rule. I can’t help but imagine the despair they would feel if they saw the internal war between democracy and the real threat of possible authoritarian rule going on here in the USA Today. Though I miss my dad, I am glad he and many of his peers, have passed on so they don’t have to witness this threat again after all they sacrificed for us.

Some hiding from snipers, other in tanks or standing in what are now busy roadways. As you say, the futility of war, but also the passage of time. The men in these photos were probably the age of our grandsons now, or younger, and in the blink of an eye, they are now grandparents, many deceased. My father also served in WWII, but not in Europe - on a DE in the Pacific. He died 20 years ago, but when he returneded from the war, he married my mom and raised nine of us. We all miss him.
