Your father and mine, along with two uncles and three cousins are now where guns are silent and peace reigns. After some 38 years of my fathers passing, I've only recently found his complete service record. Yours, like mine, are now free from the ghosts of that time and are now able to be with those they know so well far beyond our comprehension. I wish for you one simple thing mister Tim and only one. I wish for you peace and eternal love for all your father and many more did. " No one wants peace more than the grunt in the dirt. He's the one who wants it most of all" General George S. Patton.

Brave souls these men... A courageous generation. Tough as nails. We the millennia's need to take note and apply. I'm a 21 year old man now, in school and moving through life. But the self-sacrifice and heroism of our troops is always etched in my mind and it motivates me to toughen up and to persevere. God bless the USA
To SoCal 808...Thank you for your comment on these brave souls from that generation. These actions that they took with their lives should be taught in our schools and our country should NEVER FORGET their sacrifices for our freedom! God bless our country and all of our military before and present!
This was 6 long years ago. So today thsi would make you about 27, maybe 28, an old man on the lines where I come from. When that call goes out , I would like to think, hope actually, you and many more will do what we've always done. Jump up, hook up shuffle to the door.

Thanks to heroism of these brave men many nations across the world were freed from tyranny, including mine: South Korea. I salute and honour the sacrifice of these men and even more those hundreds of thousands of brave American soldiers who fought and saved us from the communists during the Korean War. There are many ungrateful Koreans (including most members of the current left wing government of South Korea and its supporters) who do not recognise this, but God be my witness myself and my family always have been and always will be grateful to these men. They gave us our freedom! May they live in eternity in the memory and esteem of all those they have saved and liberated!
Yeah, remember them. They fought and died for your freedom, and that's why they can call themselves heroes. Regardless the medals, the fame, and the reunions they can never be thanked enough for fighting in the greatest war the world has ever seen. My grand pappy was in Korea and he used to actually feed the starving Southern refugees. He thanked the lord everyday that he could be there for those people, and for the rest of the free world.
The same is happening here in UK. There is a movement to deny history and the sacrifice some made for freedom. They call us Nazis for saying we must remember and hold to our values, which people died to protect.

Truly a remarkable generation. With the strong will to do the dirty and hard life of a soldier in service of country. May they all be remembered with honor.
Since the first six years of my life were nothing but WW2 (I was six when the war ended; I lived on the West Coast) and I had uncles fight in that war, it is etched indelibly in my memory and my soul. There was a feeling in the air then that I have not felt since except with hints of it when I was in the U.S. Navy and when I hear the music from "Victory at Sea." This series and this music always brings tears to my eyes.

The guns have all long since fallen silent and the men who battled on the islands are passing before our eyes into the halls of history. The flags of both nations hang loosely at their staff, waiting for the next light breeze to be fully unfurled. The burial grounds have been slowly reclaimed with the bodies of the men who fought have been returned home. These men, on both sides, will live on in the memories of the survivors and long into the future for us to recall and remember. If only for a moment in time, standing on the beaches where once was open warfare , there now is the light ocean breezes . The memory of these wonderfully courageous men will be forever known. This is what freedom and liberty look like. The cost is high and yet, it will always be preserveed by those who know its sweet taste. Long may you live gentlemen, long will you be thought of. 9th infantry 7th SF Grp RVN 1972-1975 US Army.
My father was wounded on Morotai Island late in the war. He never spoke of his service, unless very drunk. He spoke of comrades killed in front of him. He was damaged for the rest of his life.

@@charlesmonroe3124 Mister Monroe, be it known that I, a combat vet,. will walk you or any one else home so long as our flag flies and so long as I draw air. You sir, and your father, and millions more like him. are the very reason why I am here now in front of you. Your old man, did his job, and a helluva lot more than most will now. but one thing will, go down in print... I'll defend you. I WILL walk with you any time, any where, any place, any reason and for no damn reason at all. If you call. WE, will come. Stand Fast Soldier...We are here.
@charlesmonroe3124 My Uncle Ed never recovered from losing so many of his buddies when his minesweeper was sunk by the Kamikazes off Okinawa in April 1945 when he was 19and half years old. He probably suffered from survivor's guilt for the rest of his life. Uncle Ed drank heavily and died 6 months before his 45th birthday.
It's easy for people to disrespect heroism in war when they've NEVER experienced it. I remember hippies protesting the Vietnam War and disrespected the men who fought it. I'm not down for fighting unjust wars but to praise cowardice as courage is sick and twisted to me. My father was in WW2. Double V for him because he served in the all black 761st Tank Battalion. You've had to have been one brave soul to have fought in World War II regardless of politics. The protesters were infiltrated by fad oriented people who thought it hip to protest but really stood for nothing. If one protest fighting in a war let it not be because he's a coward but because he believes that war is unjust.
+Gerald Johnson Soldiers must experience an unimaginable amount of evil, mental and physical struggle and personal conflicts when fighting in a war. They deserve our full respect for their endurance. However, they do not deserve it for their killing. They do not deserve it for the countless war crimes that occur during every war. The Vietnam War in itself was a huge mistake that can never happen again. Modern military demands modern soldiers. Soldiers, that question. Not necessarily in the field, but before they leave for the field. I like "The Pacific" and also "Band of Brothers". But I do think, they depict war in a too heroic way. They fail in portraying deep, personal conflicts and the underlaying unease. Especially BoB. The music, however, is quite magnificent!
Simon Lorenz I didn't support the war in Vietnam. In just wars you must kill as well. Those who've never experience that hell are so quick to judge that actions of moral men who fight in war. I really disliked the hippies when I was a boy because my father was a combat veteran of World War II and his unit suffered a 50% casualty rate and those hippies were found to be the biggest hypocrites imaginable because they became the 80s YUPPIES who hiked up property prices in blight urban areas after they stopped rebelling against their upper middle class and wealthy parents. By the way those were areas I and friends of mine lived in and my father as well. My father was a tank crewman with the all Black 761st Tank Battalion. And with all do respect to "modern soldiers" let's see how that works out when all that equipment breaks down. They'll break down with it. I'm a former US Marine and laymen say were soldiers. We prefer the title Marine! That's not knocking the Army because obviously the 761st was US Army.
FordFalcon1962nBlue And those same "radical" hippies became the yuppies doing same thing soldiers did in Vietnam except it was called gentrification! A bunch a damn white liberal hypocrites!
Gerald Johnson Wait, are you seriously comparing gentrification to war crimes? And how is that a liberal thing in the first place? Do you even know what gentrification is?
