I'm 52 and through golf I have 2 good older friends. A guy named Phil who is 93 and went to WW2 aged 15 1/2. He's completely amazing and still talks like he's 70 and moves and drives like he's 60. My other, and closer buddy is Jim. Just 6 months younger than Phil and he fought in the first wave in Korea. He will be 93 July 2 (10 day's away), and is just a great and very tough guy also. I love them both and treasure their friendship!
As our country gets closer to another unnecessary conflict someone on TV mentioned none of the politicians making the decisions about war had ever been in a conflict like ww2. These stories are so compelling. I wish they would talk to these older warriors. They truly are the greatest generation.

Idk about good it’s still a bunch of bullshit only difference is we don’t have hitler crazy running the world we have a bunch of other crazy fucks running they are probably worse
God bless you guys. You did so much for our freedom 🇬🇧❤️ I'm the son of a WW2 NORMANDY VETERAN JOSEPH GRACE HOLDER OF THE MILITARY MEDAL FOR BRAVERY 🇬🇧 ❤️
My great uncle was on LST 338 and got wounded at Omaha Beach on D-Day. From what I understand he never really talked to anyone about the war, he died in 2016.
God bless your uncle's memory. My great uncle made it ashore Utah and lived until the afternoon of the 8th. His company was supposed to take the Crisbeq Battery. They were slaughtered. 22 years old. So sad. Heroes all!
@@LBGirl1988 I know it's a longshot, but I can't help but wonder if, perhaps, he met or knew my great uncle, Sid Wooten, who made it ashore on the same beach on D-Day. I guess we won't know until we meet again, beyond...and by then, all the horrors and pain they experienced will be gone, not even a memory. God bless your great uncle's memory.
@@therealrealjerms what company and division was your uncle in? If you remember Saving Private Ryan, it’s based on the real life Nyland brothers. My great uncle was either in the same company as one of the brothers who died on Utah attempting to take the same battery the day before my uncle was killed.
@@LBGirl1988 Wow! He was? Amazing! I wish I knew. I could ask around family and try to find out. Perhaps his son knows. I will have to find out! One of the stories my uncle told me that reminds me of a scene from Saving Private Ryan (when they first received the orders and chose a translator to go with them) is when he told me of the time he and some others, including a translator, were sent a few miles (I think I remember it was about 3 or so miles) behind enemy lines in a jeep with a white or truce flag to a barn on a farm to receive the surrender of a Kommandant and his soldiers. I remember specifically he told me when they approached the Germans, went to the Kommandant and accepted his surrender; my uncle said (I wish you could've seen and heard him say this, his personality, his accent, how animated he was); when the German surrendered, my uncle immediately said to the him, or rather "barked" at him "Gimme your gun belt!" The translator relayed that and the Kommandant immediately took it off and handed it to him. I miss him. I have so much regret not getting to know him more, even for other than the amazing WWII stories. He was a fun, delightful person to be around, one of my favorite people at family reunions when I was a little kid.
@@therealrealjerms Clearly his memory is precious to you all and I suspect everyone he knew. You can go to find a grave and see what division/company he was in from his veterans grave marker.
Fellow Navy man here Royal Australian Navy. You truly are appreciated for everything you had to endure for future generations. You and your whole generation are the greatest generation. My grandfather was in the Australian defence force in New Guinea during the war he passed away before I was born and he never spoke of the war to his children so hearing WW2 veterans stories no matter what country they are from or what service it helps me understand and appreciate his service and what your generation had to endure even more, thank you Sir.

@@Jay-Niner Just throwing it out there but "almost 80 years" would imply that you believe America was the greatest threat to world peace even in the 40's. Which as stupid as that is, it's alright but you type it while characterising Americans fighting in WW2 as a positive. Your worldview is so thoughtless and broken that you can type something like this and not realise it.

82nd Airborne vet here, had the honor to meet some of these guys, and glider pilots etc. I hope to god we never have another war like this one. I have a strong feeling the quality of person to fight that war from our current group of that age range would be destroyed immediately….no “safe places” in combat when it gets too much

Thank you Mr. Jackson. People see war movies, even good ones, and think they understand war. I fought in Vietnam, and as you told your experiences, I could hear and smell the things that stay with me from my experiences. Only being there makes you understand! I wish those experiences on no one. My father also served on board a ship in WWll as a radioman. I believe he served in the Pacific, but he has been gone so long I only have faint memories of him. I am glad you made it home!
Mr Jackson. Words alone can not express my level of respect I have for all you guys that served our country. Thank you and God bless you. I greatly appreciate the personal stories you shared. I have more appreciation for a generation of hero warriors!! Take care!!
Thank you sir for your service. People need to be reminded from time to time that Freedom is not free. You are from a great generation of people, you are respected and admired. My dad and uncle were both in the Pacific theater. Dad was in the battle of Okinawa. My Uncle died In saipan. I am a Vietnam veteran. Freedom is not cheap. Freedom and liberty 🇺🇲

My fellow Ulstermen are buried in a place called La Délivrande. They were killed in the early battles to push inland in Normandy from Sword Beach. I remember stumbling across it some years ago. We didnt have conscription in this part of the UK so they were all volunteers.
Thank you for fighting and thank you for your work to help others. The only way for future generations to know of these acts, is by you and your fellow veterans doing the same to follow in your footsteps, by documenting history. God bless you and keep you!

Thank you Mr. Jackson both my grandpa garland Jackson and his twin brother Gerald Jackson (of Indiana) served in the US. Army. Gerald fought in New guinea as a flame throw tech. Saw horrific action. I wish I knew better back then to ask the right questions. But thank you for fighting for our freedom, without great men like you our country wouldn't know the freedom that we have!
