I just visited my father in Florida. He served as a naval fighter pilot in WW II, a sub-hunter in Korea...and was discharged from the Navy in 1968...at the height of the Viet Nam war. I'm very proud of him. He is now 100 years old...and just celebrated his birthday on July 26th of this year. Amazingly he chose to do so on the Disney Cruise Wonder...visiting the state of Alaska. Truly one of the Greatest Generation...
@@e.b.1728 You are more than welcome to ask. As it turned out, he did not see combat in WW II. In fact, his VF 13 squadron was removed from the USS Franklin just before it was blown up. I don't know how to get you his information...but I can give you mine...
@grovertn867 I'm not with this channel, I'm just a subscriber but I thought if he was willing to do an interview that you could reach out to Memoirs of WWII. I'm sure they would love to interview him and I certainly would love to hear his story. My uncle was a paratrooper in WWII but unfortunately he passed away many years ago and being a former paratrooper myself I love to hear the stories of any surviving member of WWII
@@janethunter2685 such a true a beautiful thing to say.....I was young when Papa died, and would give anything just to play a game of checkers with him one more time.....I agree with you and maybe hopefully someone will read your words and reach out before it's too late.....thanks for sharing.
It's sad, in a way, for these vets who fought so hard for their country & our freedom, to live long enough to see what's happening to our country. Like he said, "what's going on ? What went wrong ?". God bless you sir. RIP. From one sailor to another, Fair winds & following seas. 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️ 🫡 🇺🇸
They were only segregated in the south and my family fought and died for them. Would they do the same for us. It's all politics now it's not about real racism or fixing anything. It's about politicizing it for votes. Blm is more corrupt than Joe Biden for gods sake.
My heart breaks thinking about it. I'm 43 years old. I see what a difference the world is from when I was in school. These men and women are seeing a different planet. It's so sad. Kids are being given porn and LGBTQ indoctrination material in kindergarten. The morals and backbone of this country are crumbling. 😓 these stories are so important and should be required in school. I think what Josh and his family have done with this channel would fit perfectly into a school setting. It can open up conversation and let you see some of the things that the men and women had to go through so they could have freedom. These videos are not that long so they're just long enough to get a very strong message across and kids would be able to see these old men and what they look like when they were in battle and how young and full of life they were and what they had to see and do in order for them to have their freedom today. It makes me emotional thinking about it. My grandfather died last year at the age of 95. He operated a tank in world war II and was in the battle of the bulge. He never wanted to talk about the things he had to do with the things he saw. He said even if his old age he's forgotten a lot. That he remembers everything about his time in the war. He said he'll never be able to forget about it. God bless these men and women and thank you so much for your service
It's only gotten better. Civil Rights, voting rights for women, massive advances in the medical field. All the vets I've known thought the world is getting BETTER. choose to see it that way.
That image of the men bandage in the mess hall is so haunting to look at. The 2 man with bandages on their faces look similar to a past image form World War I soldiers where soldiers would return home with both disfigured limbs and burned faces due to injuries from Chlorine, Phosgene, or Mustard Gas. I will never forget all these men for their sacrifices and they all need to get the welcome home and recognition they rightly earned for their service.
I’ve been watching your videos ALL DAY. I’m sad I didn’t find it sooner. What you’ve done, finding and sharing all these stories is just amazing. Thank you and thank you to every veteran who fought for the freedom we have today. Thank you truly.
Aw man. That got me at the end where I read Mr Denney had passed away in 2022. I am so sorry he was disappointed in the way America was going. "all the hulabaloo" is a nice way of putting it. Greatest generation ever. Thank you sir for your service. To folks like me and my family it is greatly appreciated.
Another great episode. Not many veterans left unfortunately and we mustn’t let this die with them. My dad served in Vietnam and he died 2 1/2 years ago. Let’s keep their memories alive. RIP sir!
Incredible story. I just met a neighbor of mine that is also an Iwo Jima survivor. He is a former Marine and was wounded on Iwo Jima after fighting for 20 days.
Gave the guy who flew the plane and killed all there guys the same burial. That's fighting respecting your opponent knowing there doing the same as your are for there country. Respect 🙏
Josh this is a great undertaking and glad you are driven to get the Greatest Generation on film so everyone can share their story. Thank you for doing this. I remember you when Flite Test was just getting started and loved your humor with Josh. Happy to see you still doing well. God Bless.
My grandfather was in the Royal Canada Navy. He only spoke to me once about his experience. I am thankful for channels like this. To hear about their experiences is quite moving.
Hope his words affects others as they have affected me, keep your freedom and try to appreciate the things you've got. Don't have to change your whole way of life to appreciate, just acknowledge the stuff you have once in awhile.
One of my favorite WWII books of all time is Norbert Hannig's memoir "Luftwaffe Fighter Ace", Norbert is now in his 100th year, I think he's worth a listen. 💙 According to the book, he now lives in Friedrichshafen with his wife.
I didn’t know we needed this until I watched. These people died and gave their life for us to live. It’s so disrespectful that we shame there legacies of truly fighting for freedom. With all this non sense.
Thank you for taking the time for making theses.. in my family all of the WW2 and Korea vet's have passed but its great knowing these personal stories are here to stay.. May you rest in peace Sir and thank you for your service.
Like Denny my great-grandmother-in-law used to be friends with a guy who had a brother who served on the carrier Saratoga as a radio operator when it was struck by a Kamikaze at Iwo Jima
My great grandfather was there, he didn't talk about it much, he died in 09 at 87, his name was Richard Dean Earle, he was in the Black Cat division I think is what he said it was called, I remember his war stories 😢 I miss that man, he actually named me Richard Whiskey Earle, because of his war buddy's middle name being whiskey.
My utmost respect to all the veterans in all wars. I'm a 22 year veteran of U.S. Army. I know of one ww2 veteran in Beaufort N.C. I don't have his name. But if you see this and want to contact him. Call the American legion in Beaufort N.C
I live in Lancaster Ohio. About 40 or so minutes from New Straitsville. It seems we still have a lot of ww2 veterans around the area. I've taken care of quite a few at the nursing facility I work for.
My Uncle always says something which I haven't understood till recently He's 57 I'm 16 Appreciate it because in the blink of an eye you'll be the old one Time goes incredibly quickly So make the best of the time you've got
@@youknow227 trust me I do! Doing the kind of work that I do allows me to interact with different generations on a much more intimate level than most. Also being a history buff, hearing the stories and perspectives first hand from the generations, from veterans or not, allows me to gain a bit more understanding of people in general than most do. It's a great experience and being former Army myself it puts into perspective how much was sacrificed from others compared to me and keeps me humbled always. Keep your mind open!
I’m so sad that not many people now about this account these videos should be getting millions of views but I know when all the veterans are gone they will be flocking to these videos

I think noone comprehend the pain you got when you ma be were in ww1 but no need even if your dad was there is enough because you still had to participate in a second one i dont think we even closely understand the horrors suffering and pain people had to go through... seeing friends, comrades, kids, women dads, granddads and much more die getting executed bombed gased and all that cruel shit that happened fucks you up so hard... and now imagine after over 60 years you finally have some "peace" and see how the world changes to the same spot they were in but with their children grandchildren and much much more and we advance weapon wise... it must be sooo fuckin breaking on the inside for those awesome veterans im soo sorry
Do Don Graves next, he’s a WW2 Marine vet flamethrower that fought on Iwo Jima he recently had a 3 hour interview and made an appearance on a podcast but I would still like him to be apart of this channel🙌🏻🤝🏻

“Keep your freedom.” Those words mean so much in the world today🫡🇺🇸
Damn the Left and the Democrats for chipping away at our freedoms. They are just as dangerous as an invading army.
Yes sir!!
@@uncleho1945He’s not talking to you. He’s talking to those who hold and respect American and Western values.
Thank you for bringing us another hero's story. May he rest in peace.
The hardest part of the video was the end seeing that he passed away. May he rest in peace.
I just visited my father in Florida. He served as a naval fighter pilot in WW II, a sub-hunter in Korea...and was discharged from the Navy in 1968...at the height of the Viet Nam war.

Would he be willing to do an interview with this channel? So many of us would love to hear his story and honor his service.

Me and your father have the same birthday
My grandpa survived the attack on the USS Bunker Hill..... he's my hero and i miss him dearly.
I honour your grandpa. R.I.P. great man.

"Keep your freedom." Well said. Rest In Peace, soldier.❤

We need you to interview japanese and italian veterans too before they are gone. It would be nice to see their perspectives too.
"Keep your freedom. That's the biggest thing. Keep your freedom."
- Robert Denney
Amen. Thank you and may God keep you, sir.
RIP, Mr. Denney. Thank you to you and all who sacrificed so much in service to our country.
"What went wrong?"
Marxism and crooked politicians. Feminism, anti white propaganda , etc
It's sad, in a way, for these vets who fought so hard for their country & our freedom, to live long enough to see what's happening to our country. Like he said, "what's going on ? What went wrong ?". God bless you sir. RIP. From one sailor to another, Fair winds & following seas. 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️ 🫡 🇺🇸
The people we fought to save in Europe have become our enemies.
Everyone knows what went wrong we need to patriot up and fix it before it's to late.
Beautiful documentary. Wonderfully edited. ❤
It has to be heartbreaking for these amazing veterans to see the decline of the country they fought so hard for. 🇺🇸
Today's generations don't know what it means to protect our freedoms and are easily fooled by promises that hides a sinister purpose.
@Roxy_Penny8889 democrats and the main stream media are the ones fanning the flames of division in our country today.
They were only segregated in the south and my family fought and died for them. Would they do the same for us. It's all politics now it's not about real racism or fixing anything. It's about politicizing it for votes. Blm is more corrupt than Joe Biden for gods sake.

Till Valhalla sir, you and your stories will be truly missed.
God bless you sir 🇬🇧
War is such a scary place … I don’t wish anyone experiencing this…

Greatest generation ever. Thank you sir for your service. To folks like me and my family it is greatly appreciated.
It's difficult to watch a video like this without getting emotional, just imagining what they went through at the time.
Just can't imagine seeing all those planes coming in and just wondering ....
Another great video 👍
Thank God for these men werer our fathers. They had a great purpose. THank them for everything they did!
Another great episode. Not many veterans left unfortunately and we mustn’t let this die with them. My dad served in Vietnam and he died 2 1/2 years ago. Let’s keep their memories alive. RIP sir!

My hero and role models by far
Incredible story. I just met a neighbor of mine that is also an Iwo Jima survivor. He is a former Marine and was wounded on Iwo Jima after fighting for 20 days.
Wounded after 20 days is very impressive
Gave the guy who flew the plane and killed all there guys the same burial. That's fighting respecting your opponent knowing there doing the same as your are for there country. Respect 🙏
RIP Robert Denny. I know that now, you are truly free. Salute
Brilliant as always. I really miss talking with vetrans of the british armed forces of ww2
Josh this is a great undertaking and glad you are driven to get the Greatest Generation on film so everyone can share their story. Thank you for doing this.
I remember you when Flite Test was just getting started and loved your humor with Josh. Happy to see you still doing well. God Bless.
its a weird feeling being 22 and watching this. I wish our country was this united again
Thank you for your service, courage and sacrifice for our country’s freedom ❤🇺🇸
Thank you for your service Bob because of you and millions of other brave men and women we have our freedom America 🇺🇸 ❤

Rest In Peace soldier, you e done a service to us all sir, “keep your freedom”
This is absolutely amazing that you do this. Thank you so much for implanting these men's stories forever.
Thank you for sharing all these experiences!
I want to meet these men and show them my respect for them. Real heros im sad seeing them go.
Wars leave deep scars on both victors and losers, and they will suffer even after the war. Real victors are those who can avert wars.
Tough men right there. Thank you
Salute American Hero! 🫡 R.I.P Robert Denney

People always seem to forget and just seem to not care anymore that freedom isn't free
One of my favorite WWII books of all time is Norbert Hannig's memoir "Luftwaffe Fighter Ace", Norbert is now in his 100th year, I think he's worth a listen. 💙 According to the book, he now lives in Friedrichshafen with his wife.

My great grandfather Ray Irwin was from New straightsville,ohio and served during ww2 as well. Sadly he is no longer with us.
RIP
The value of freedom isn't recognized until it is gone
Rest in Peace Robert Denny 🫡

getting executed
bombed
gased

Bonjour, je voulais vous demander pourquoi qu’on reçoit plus de nouvelles vidéos merci
My great uncle was stationed at Pearl Harbor when it was attacked. Luckily he was out to sea when the attack occurred
