- "I remember thinking ... they must have abandoned a slaughterhouse. In effect, that's really what they had done." These stories are so powerful, so unimaginable. Thank you, Bill, for your service and for allowing us to share your story.

As a dutch myself, i think each year about all the young americans who went to war. And i thank them for it
Hahahah feiger Holländer
@@facckeleins4053try more like outnumbered and out gunned
Don't listen to the haters. My family is American/Dutch and my relatives over there absolutely love the Americans! They llove the Americans but they only like the Brits! Lol! My uncle has some memorabilia of the 101 airborne that he cherishes. He remembers life under German occupation and it was hell.
My Grandma immigrated from my the Netherlands in 1920. She spoke so much about how lucky her family was to come to the US.
My God. Hard to put things to words sometimes. You guys at Black Rifle are doing a fantastic job. For the love of God and all that is holy, find these men and try to get their stories. We all need to hear them. From all of the conflicts. Thank You Mr. Casassa for your service and sacrifice. The hero we need. Thank you Black Rifle. Keep up the good work.
Yup
Mr. Casassa is a very well spoken man. His perspective and words are very unique. Thank you for sharing his story, definitely deserves to be remembered!
I got choked up when he got so upset that he turned away from the camera and whispered " Damn "... Even in their old age, too strong to cry and show " weakness " because that would get you killed back then.
My wife’s grandfather was in the Pacific campaign. He was an amazing man; he would only talk to me about the war. My wife’s family thought it was so strange because he hadn’t spoken about it for decades. I guess he saw something in the 12Bravo that just returned from Iraq (03-05) that he recognized. I will forever be grateful for his wisdom. He was an amazing man
My sister’s boyfriend is a history teacher.
Tough men thanks for sharing this
Thank you for sharing
🏆🙏🤗🇺🇲🎖️
Thank you for continuing to document the lives and stories of the remaining WW2 Veteran's. Thank you!
When was this filmed? DOB 1925?!?! Dude’s sharp for 98 years old.
Its so important that you guys are getting these stories before they are lost.. this is heartbreaking and i believe everyone should listen to this
Stories like these should never be forgotten
I just want to shake this man's hand! Great video!
Thank you for doing this video. The world needs to remember these events and the sacrifices made not to mention that there is pure evil in this world. Thank you to all who serve, those who served and to those who gave their loves so we may live free. Gone, but never forgotten.
That was emotional for sure. Thank you. What a great generation.
my grandfather served in the Battle of the Bulge as a Medic. injured by shrapnel but kept administering first aid to the troops.
Greatest Generation.
My great Uncle had a friend who stayed behind to track soldiers mail.
So did mine. They were great men. 😢❤
I grew up in Fitchburg, Massachusetts and had two relatives also in the Battle of the Bulge. I had another relative who was a survivor on the USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor. I’m an 82nd Airborne veteran myself. Massachusetts represent ✊🏻
My Father born in 1919 was in the Army Air Corp as a mechanic at Hickam AF and was there during the Japanese attack.. he nearly died 3 times that day.. he went on to become a pilot in the South Pacific through the war then up to Alaska after and retired as Major in the 60's..
Never forgotten. We owe our veterans more than we could ever give. Much respect to every vet on this veterans day, 2023.
Thank you, @BlackRifleCoffeeCompany, for making these videos so these men and these events will never be forgotten.
Thank you Sir for you’re service, sacrifice and courage for freedom ❤ God bless you 🇺🇸
I'm speechless...........there isn't words
As a veteran who never had to experience battle, thank you, sir, for your sacrifice.
Y’all at BRCC allow the rest of us Americans learn and enjoy the history
These men & woman of our great military
It's really difficult to listen to these stories and not want to cry.
Holy smokes. That is a very power full video. And absolutely incredible what does men have gone trough to protect the free world.
My greatest respects for all those who served and suffered. Thank you!
Man that is moving. Thanks for getting this saved for latter generations.
This one got my attention. My grand father only spoke of the war a few times when i was a kid. He told me about the foxhole he had slept in for days at Battle of the Bulge. He was in the 115th infantry for the army. Seen some of his old maps and stuff, but when he died alot of that stuff disappeared. I love these videos. History. We can never erase it. Thanks BRCC
Amazing story, thanks for saving it!
🫡🇺🇸 We must never forget! The pain that is filtered through my chest is indescribable, my heart will always be broken for our vets, every fucking breath that I take is because of our vets that took arms and fought evil to the ground!, I greatly appreciate everyone who selflessly gave their lives for my freedom!!! Thank you!!!
BRCC is doing for these vets what we should've been doing for them all along and it's aggravating that any of these men have to see what this country has turned into today because they deserve better
A real American Patriot. Thank you Bill for sharing your story
Raised in the depression and graduated into the war…….
The Greatest generation thanks for sharing this.
For all those who have been down range, to us, and to those like us, Damn Few. Hand salute to all the cherished veterans and to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
I have served and had 4 uncles serve in the Pacifc. Bless everyone.
What a story , usually its old brit vets , this could make a great life story movie . Black rifle movies ? Thanks for sharing
To me this is true history to get the accounts of what happened from the people that trully took part in the event. Thaank you Black Rife for helping share these stories, and may god bless the military.
My Dad served in the 3rd army , 6th armored div. These men saved the world
I pray we as Americans can get back to this type of pride that these men and women had back then.
Thank you for posting this video.
Truly the greatest generation. GOD bless them. We owe a debt to all our veterans. Thank GOD for you all.

Fascinating content. Keep it coming guys!

Thx for this BRCC!
Thank you BRCC for doing great work highlighting a monumental generation.
Glad you enjoy it!
I love this channel, it’s awesome to hear these great people talk about their experiences and things that, as a guy in his 30’s, I won’t be able to understand. They’re always very humble.

This is a real man! Thank you Sir!!!
Absolutely amazing. Thank you BRCC for sharing this amazing man's story.
Bill is a legend and it was a honor to sit down with him.
I will in Normandy next year for the anniversary, and I am hoping to be able to meet any of those who are still alive and able to travel. Thanks for highlighting and thanks for your service!
Wow what a fantastic tribute, BRCC. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
My grandpa fought in the battle of the bulge when he was 18 years old and received a purple heart. He died when I was 12 but my dad says he never spoke about the war, and the only thing my grandma mentioned is he had night terrors from the house to house fighting he endured… Truly remarkable generation
101st airborne:. Rip
My great uncle had a best friend who luckily was on leave in London st the time.
Thank you for your Service.
Thank you for this.
Please keep making these! People need to know what happend, these accounts from real veterans that fought that war are the most important thing to save right now before their generation is gone completely, wish i could talk to one of these vets myself
Make sure to check out our Mini-doc playlist for more stories like this one
Truly the greatest generation, thank you.
God bless all our Warriors, past, present and future. 🇺🇸👍
What an absolute legend this man is.
What an honor it would be to meet this man, shake his hand, and just listen to the life he has experienced. I would never get tired of listening to what this man had to say.
Absolutely amazing what this generation of people have done and the lives they have lived and are living. True heroes and absolute legends. Nothing but respect for this man and people like him. A sincere thank you for the things people like this endured so that we can have what we have today. Makes you absolutely proud to be an American. 🇺🇸
Thank you Bill. God bless you.
Thanks to BRCC for an excellent production.
Thank you for your support, that's what makes these possible!
Thanks
That was a wonderful video thank you.
Mother of God. Born 1925. 98 years. That’s all I got. These guys that did this then, are my heroes.
Thank you Sir.
Thank god for these good men we need more of them
Powerful
Thank you, does not seem enough, but it's all we can give.
They gave the most then so that we can thank you now.
GODSPEED TO ALL OF OUR VETERANS, NEVER FORGOTTEN!
My grandpa was with the 82ABN on D-Day he fought all the way to Berlin,
They Allies never went to Berlin
@@dalecrummie5818 The 82ABN division America’s Guard of Honor was in Berlin to keep the peace. And they were some of the last combat troops to be pulled out of Berlin
Thank you to all of these brave men for the sacrifices you made. I love and appreciate every one of you. Thank you for protecting our country and our freedom. I miss my Grandfather greatly, who was an Army Sargent under Gen Patton, and he fought in the Arden offensive. He said to me 40 years later, "They said they'd never forget what we did, and they told us this will never happen again. Oh, how quickly they forgot, and lied to us. They almost immediately put us in harms way again in Korea, then again in Vietnam." He said "There's always money for war, but the rich that want the wars for profit never have to go fight. It's the worst possible thing that people can do to each other." Thank all of you for your service! I pray that some day, these horrific wars will stop, and people will be able to love each other, rather than kill each other. Until that day, Thank you to our brave soldiers that stand for our freeoms. ❤
Respect.
God be with ALL veterans 🙏
No way, I grew up in Fitchburg. Live 2 towns over
I wish so many people of today's USA, would only pay attention to this.... But I am too pessimistic to believe that.
If you know you know….
The man is legit.
truly the greatest generation
Tears
The last time I talked to my grandfather (a WW2 vet) was when I returned from Afghanistan. I shared a lot of my experience with him and talked about how as hard as it was, it was nothing like what he went through. How he and the other guys were fighting to save the world. His only response was "Yep." No boasting or comparing. Just knowing that they did what needed to be done when they were called on.
❤
Respect to this old man
Hero.
Bro is 108 and looks like he’s sixty
“One day god granted Roosevelt the great gift, in the form of Pearl Harbor’
Stuff that younger people don't understand
Could you imagine if we didnt win that war, what our country would look like today??
probably not too different just replace commies with nazis in the cold war
Top 3 Militaries are British Red Coats 💂🏻, France and Germany said a TV program over here in South Africa for 30 minutes never once refer to US Military not once. Last year.
Personal Knowledge All United States Military are weak especially U.S. Special Forces and Infantry ♣️
Badass
I cannot thank these men and women for what they sacrificed for the rest of us.
Moving .
98 years
Gee! TH-cam, why didn't you totaly screw this historical documentary up with your ignorant censorship? You do with everything else.
Schools should be mandatory that people like this gentleman come and speak. MANDATORY.
Sadly, there aren’t many of them left.
Hoooah!!!
I wish BRCC would film veterans like these sitting down and talking to Americans who deny the holocaust, or perhaps the Neo-Nazi's that support Trump.
when i saw the concentration camps it really put a tear in my eye.
❤️🔥🇺🇸
I had family on both sides of the war.
❤️🥃🇺🇸👍🏻
This guy should Stop Talking about GOD . God IS LOVE. NOT WAR.
3:40 You need smart people in the infantry.😐
If yoyr response is:"the blossom of youth was wasted", direct your ire at Germans and Japanese (of that era).
The smart ones move on to Airborne, Ranger or Special Forces.
You are the Greatest Generation.
My Dad's generation ....he ended up in Korea though. Tail Gunner. B-29 Thanks Dad for having guts. Your Son.
Our country is a shadow of it's former self. Gob bless our heroes.
I feel like the president of the United States owes this man and everyone like him a massive apology for the way this country has become. I for one am thankful and won't ever forget what those men did and ill make sure my son does as well. Thank u brother! 🇺🇲
