@@aliyahnadunn075yep I Couldn’t have said it any better unfortunately us young men Will most likely have to fight in world war 3 let’s hope not but I know if it does happen I will gladly fight not for the government ill fight for the people and the kids who deserve a better life
There is another one the way, Masters of the Air about the 8th Air Force in WWII. Steve Spielberg and Tom Hanks are involved in that one as well which is due out next year I believe. Will probably be on Apple TV, fyi.
My father served in WWII and fought in three campaigns. He returned home an amputee and lived a full life as part of that great generation. This music always reminds me that we here in America owe these veterans, the ones who came back and the ones who didn't, a debt of Honor that we can never fully repay.
@@palladilardino Thank you for saying this. Because many Europeans hate Americans. Nice that one of you knows some history and appreciates what those men did back then to save the world.
MrKajithecat There were many shows where I skipped the intro on Amazon Prime and NETFLIX. NEVER this one. When ever I heard this song I would think of my dad and the many like him who served with him, like him, before him, and soon after him.
Thanks for popping by 😊. Me and Dj Spanky wrote this music for Zimms( yo z and rip Spanky 🙏 😢) We were coming down after a wild party and first dropped this banger in the chill out room at Brussel Mania The acid freaks were coming down .Throwing even wierder shapes when Spanky dropped this one 😊
Alex Walter My beloved uncle Thomas Key Bennett was a Seabee, and in the second wave on Guadalcanal. The Seabees were not much honored until years and years after the war, when finally all the dangerous work they did was recognized.
Gail Williams Proud of your uncle, stopping the Japanese in Guadalcanal, my granduncle died during the Battle of Singapore, shot by a Japanese sniper, according to his friends.
Ancestors fought in the Civil War, great grandfather fought in both World Wars, two Uncles fought in Vietnam, friends served in Afghanistan and Iraq. God bless to all who served.
Claudia Juarez bruh fuck you, these men died for what they believed in, you don’t even know if they regretted it. Did you even watch the end of The Pacific or are you hear to shit on people’s stories?
One day all the veterans from WW2 British,Canadian or American will be gone, it's up to us as a generation to make sure we don't forget them, i know for sure I'll tell my children about they're sacrifice, I had family fight in WW2 in the RAF and British army, they were very lucky to all come back alive, a lot of their friends didn't.
Let's keep on speaking of their deeds and sacrifices. Never to have their stories forgotten. Though the vets continue that slow but sure march to the grave.
My Grandfather served on Gaudalcanal. He was an Army Sgt. in charge of clearing land mines and building bridges and roads. They did this under constant enemy sniper fire. My Grandfather almost died of malaria twice. He was ordered to send part of his detachment to clear a road, and they were all blown to pieces. He lived with the guilt of having to pick the men to follow that order, and the ones he picked all died. He was like a 2nd father to me and I miss him every day. My best memories are the times I spent with him, even when we would sit in silence. I would give just about anything to be with him for an hour. He died in 1997 when I was 21. Gone too soon.
My grandpa just passed at 93. He was a green beret, and served in Korea and Vietnam. I'm 21 as you were. Men like our grandfathers don't come around too often. It is truly an honor to be have known one.
We are losing the greatest generation faster than any of us can comprehend. These days, it is more than important to go out of your way to thank a WWII vet for their service.
squirlysquirly969 We'll remember them in the greatest way we can, by building a world they would be proud of. By using our freedom to fullest, to forge a utopia for all mankind, a world that'd bring a tear of joy to their eye if they could see it.
Utopia sounds more like a dictatorship and in my personal opinion if I was a WWII veteran I would be absolutely appalled and ashamed of the world we've actually ruined with government corruption and greed
A lot of that happens in the UK tbh, we still have the Chelsea pensioners and they get looked after very well. When a veteran dies and he has no family, or even if he does have family, his service usually turn out to the funeral in full dress, union draped coffin etc. It's really pleasing to see that regardless of all the muck and tripe in this country at the moment. There is still pride and patriotism here.
To be fair, it's a little over represented in media and popular culture over all other parts of history because of the perceived simplicity of events and coolness factor especially in countries where a participation in the war is a major source of nationalistic spirit and justification of military industrial complex and armaments. Both Russia and US are good examples among others. I'd also argue that whoever even said learning about WW2 is a waste of time would likely say the same of any part of history as it's one of the most if not the most popular historical timeline among average people and you'll probably hear some random WW2 facts from everyday laymen if you bring the topic up.
“War is brutish, inglorious, and a terrible waste... The only redeeming factors were my comrades' incredible bravery and their devotion to each other. Marine Corps training taught us to kill efficiently and to try to survive. But it also taught us loyalty to each other - and love. That espirit de corps sustained us.” ― Eugene B. Sledge, With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa
+Lordofzeldafed Sledge's story was absolutely incredible, as were they all. I don't often get emotional when watching films to the point of tears,, but when the end credits rolled on the final episode, of The Pacific, I don't mind admitting that totally out of nowhere, it all just hit me like a ton of bricks and I started balling. Very rare that I've been so moved by a film.
Im korean, but learning about American history, I feel like these americans were truly the greatest generation of all time. The men and women who survived the depression and then went on to fight in WWII. These people didn't die for fame or recognition, but because they fought what was right. From destroying tyranny to helping South Korea from the evils of communism. I can say thank you.
Eugene Shin Two things. WWII was not just won by the US, but many Allies. British, Canadians, French, Russians, Australians, etc who all did their bit. Since you're from South Korea and referring to the 1950-1953 Korean War as well (although it's directly linked to WW2, it's not part of the same war), don't forget that thousands of other UN troops as well as Americans fought and died there.
Many of the WWI vets thought that the following generation was weak and not real men. However, when WWII arrived, they all answered the call and became the Greatest Generation. Dark times demands men to put their best foot forward and fight for justice, we will always answer the call.
All respect to your dad and all soldiers who dedicated in the war. My grandfather was a soldier too. Survived in WW2, in Chinese civil war, but didn't make it in Korea.
This is so hauntingly beautiful along with the pictoral. It makes me teary every time. I served in Iraq but my service pales to these men that served in ww2 in The Pacific. My salute to them.
When you realize more than 400,000 men and women lost their lives. Realize that freedom comes at a cost. It took 70 to 100 million people to die for us to understand what freedom is!
I'll be going Normandy later this year for the 70th anniversary of D-day to pay my respects to those who were lost in that section of the war, I know the Pacific theatre was no where the European theatre but I will always pay respect to those lost over in that part of the war as well. This music helps me to remember them.
That was my wish for this year's D-Day anniversary...unfortunately I wont be making it :C Give my respects to the men please. They are my heroes, my grandad and great uncle are among the dead both German and American alike. I will die with their memory burning strong in my mind. We would not be free without their sacrifice. The greatest generation to ever walk the earth lived and died in WW2. I am nothing compared to them. Thank you veterans for all you have done, and for all you have laid down in service to this great nation.
My American grandad is buried in Omaha Beach Cemetery by the name of Christopher Cameron. As for my German great uncle...unfortunately I dont know exactly where his grave is, somewhere in normandy. Thank you very much for the offer.
Recently watched the Pacific again. The hardest part that actually broke me down was in the beginning, when Eugene's dad basically cleared him after his heart murmurs, he said he didn't want to see his son become soulless. But we slowly see Eugene becoming soulless because his dad saw what happened to others during world war 1. Episodes 9 and 10 actually had me crying hard dudes. You really just have to put yourself in both Eugene and his dad's position. You want to be tough, but you can't because you saw the atrocities of war, and you see your child become broken down
The most haunting piece of music I have ever heard. It is mesmerizing. Maybe someday someone will write as beautiful a piece of music for all the Vietnam Veterans.
With great respect to you for serving in Vietnam and Iraq, WWII is not even in the slightest comparable to these political wars. It was a global war for global humanity and for the world we live in today, which young generations tend to forget...so sad, because if forgotten, it will happen again...
My great grandfather served as a marine in the USMC he survived the war served 41 to 45 he died a few days ago And i just need to come back and listen to this because this is beutiful my grandfathers actions were so amazing that it inspired me to sign up and i did i was stationed in a fort in texas where today i am still there and i salute all those marines who fought for their families.
My great Uncles served in the RAF in North Africa, respect to your Great grandfather, I also had another uncle who was a stretcher bearer in the British army on D-Day he never spoke about what he saw or had to do that day, to be honest none of them spoke about what they did, my guess is that they wanted to forget, it was just something they had to do.
Respect for your Grandfather. My grandfather was a soldier who fought for Independence for Indonesia. I always heard the story about how my Grandfather and his unit fought against the Japanese and the Dutch at that time. How they had to sleep at hole and all and also doing guerrilla war against them. He died cause of Heart Attack and until now, I still remember how the Army was insist to buried him at Hero Cemetery but in the end we buried him in local one according to his will and give him a proper burial. No matter who you are, no matter where you are, I always respect all soldiers cause they doing what it's right.
I give my whole heart to those ww soldiers and veterans.Im not an American but I feel very strange feeling with sorrow about them...when I am playing this music and the melody makes me realize Im playing to those soldiers who had sacrificed their everything to make a peaceful world. cant even imagine how much pain,fear they had faced and how horrible the war was..If I could meet them I would hug all of them..RIP and happy veterans' day.
An absolute masterpiece of musical composition. It stirs the heart and challenges our patriotism. We must not forget these men and others like them. History can never be rewritten; only forgotten.
I believe now the latest numbers are in and I believe it is only 20% of all US WWII Veterans are still around. Over 80% have left us already, I am 16 and I am realizing now how fortunate I am to be able to talk to these men and get to know them. Regrettably I must say that my children God willing I have children will not be able to meet them. Speak with them and try and understand from first hand experiences what they went through. To the greatest generation with such members as, my Grandpa Paul, my Great Grandpa LaForgia, and my Great Great Uncle Andy Defeo thanks you we here remaining salute you. We are examples that your sacrifices and that of your brothers was not and will never be so help us God... God Bless You God Bless Your Legacy God Bless America
I lost my WW2 veteran Navy officer/pilot father 11 years ago....he was 1 wk shy of his 80th birthday....we have to move on but losing such a group of, for the most part, magnificent, selfless men is shocking, disconcerting and sad
your intentions are amendable but do not forget that america didn't fight alone and that the russians suffered the blunt of the attack throughout the war (80% of the german troops).So when you say God bless America you're leaving behind anyone else and it's not fair.Have a good day.
I, a Thai person, would like to thank all the American soldiers who sacrificed their lives to save East Asia from the dangers of the Japanese Empire. My country fought against Japan in World War 2, and in the Vietnam War, Thailand and America worked together to fight the North Vietnamese army 🇹🇭🤝🇺🇲
I have a friend that passed a few years ago from cancer. His dad survived the Batan Death march. On his wall was a flag and medals that were his dad's. I was in awe of that flag and those medals and of his dad who survived. RIP Bob and I pray you are with your dad.
My Uncle served as a Marine in the Pacific during WWII. I had 8 by 10 pictures of him flushing out the enemy soldiers using a flamethrower. He came back in one piece and lived a long life. I am proud of him and those that died serving our nation.
Thanks Mr. Hicks you're absolutely right and yes he was lucky ! He is long gone and has since died, but I appreciate your comment. God Bless the United States of America and to all those that served during WWII.
My great grandfather fought in the eastern front against the soviets from 1942-1943. He survived the war just because his right arm was blown off by a grenade just before the soviets destroyed the second hungarian army in 43 january. He told me lots of stories... he was a hero. Rest in peace papa... you fought well...
Not to be an asshole, but I can't help but point out that wouldn't the whole cause be tainted given the people in charge at the time in Germany? Not questioning his skills at arms or bravery, just seems questionable to call them a hero for a tainted cause.
I never skipped the intro when I watch the pacific. The music is incredible ... hell the Band of Brothers and the Pacific are incredible series. I wish I could meet any of the soldiers from the series.
Luke Patton Wow really? do you know who they were? But its hard to think that some day there won't be anymore WW2 veterans alive. Don't get me wrong its always sad when heroes from previous wars don't exist anymore but something about WW2 veterans not existing someday gets to me. Maybe cause I know that they are still alive.
TheProvinceOfGaming Yeah. I am sure I can sit there and for hours listen to their "Great Adventure." Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks know how to deliver. I'm sure the majority of us would of never known who they were until the show started.
I know that Sidney J. Phillips still lives near Mobile, R.V Burgin is still around and same with Chuck Tatum. I'm not sure about Band Of Brothers though.
My Grandpa fought in Iwo Jima and managed to survive, I never truly thought about what happened to him until after he died. My mother told me he woke up one morning to his best friend dead in the foxhole with him. I also cannot believe he kept his sanity after experiening these horrible things. He never really showed it, except for the fact that he hated fireworks.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them. - Laurence Binyon " For the fallen"
Hans Zimmer, this incredible piece you wrote, I can't express all that I feel. It honors the fallen, lifts up those that survived. America's Greatest generation. This music brings tears to my eyes, then my heart soars with final crescendo and comes to earth with the diminuendo. Thank you.
Those four notes from that horn.....really rips at the heart...I get choked up every time I hear it....and I love it. Music should cause emotional response
I work over in Hillsborough NJ, every day on my way to the office I pass by the statue of Sgt. John Basilone in Raritan. Every day I think of this tune and every time it hits me right in the feels...
My grandfather was in the Army during World War II (he turned 18 near the end of 1944). Just a few months before the planned invasion of the Japanese home islands (Operation Downfall), he was stationed on a Naval ship at the end of the war, in preparation for the invasion of Japan. Luckily for him (and for countless others on *BOTH* sides), he never had to fight because of President Truman's decision to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki; though he was stationed in Japan until 1949 during its post-war occupation. Obviously, the atomic bombings were terrible events for the Japanese (and I have my utmost sympathy for everyone who died in those attacks or survived with horrible scars), but it certainly saved a million or so lives on both sides. If it wasn't for the atomic bombs, many of us wouldn't be here today. Seeing this series and watching documentaries on World War II in the Pacific made me realize how awful it would have been for him and countless others on both sides. While I can see why someone might say that we should've never dropped the atomic bombs, I want them to also realize how much worse it would have been for both sides and how much longer WWII would have been for the US and Japan.

I am a babyboomer Canadian who came from Hong Kong, then still a British colony, where I was born and grew up. WW2 has always been my interest, and I studied not only its weapons and battles but also its historic implications and geopolitical consequences, which affect us even today. I am glad the Allies won and my respect to all Allied soldiers who did their duty, especially those who had made sacrifices beyond the call of duty. I am also grateful to the US, without which participation, WW2 would have taken a much harder route, even assuming an Allied victory at the end.
On behalf of my people, I would like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice that you have given, so my people can be free from Japanese occupation. They are truly America's greatest generation who survive the great depression, Spanish flu and one of if not the most colossal man-made disaster ever. My word may not mean anything but at least let me say with my own mother language Terima kasih (thank you) and to all of those who died fighting for freedom during that time ,may their soul rest in peace. and may their sacrifice and bravery inspired us all . Terima kasih = Thank you
My great grandfather fought in the Pacific theatre, he was part of the USAFFE under General MacArthur here in the Philippines, I felt sad because 3 months after his death our family recieved a letter from the US Embassy for him to go to Manila to be instated as an American Citizen. Thank you grandpa and to all those here who had family who fought in the war their sacrifices will never be forgotten. PS: 9 years on this is still my favorite series along with Band Of Brothers and I still rewatch them over and over again and never get tired of it especially the intro 💯❤️
+AppocolyptoRachet I did watch it, I watched BOB before and tried this one, when I started the first episode and heard the intro, It almost felt like hours went by when listening and I have no idea why but I started crying then, I don't know why, I had no relative who I knew were veterans, I suppose I was just connected to it due to my Chinese roots
This Japan war fractured my fathers life, causing his life shorten and never gave up,,,,,,,a true winner as a veteran, a father, and my hero! Your son misses you everyday Billy Guy Thompson.
From south korea, We thanks you for your services. US soldiers brought us freedom and taught us the value of it. Life may fade away, but your deeds shall remain and remembered.
This piece makes my heart burst with pride every time. It's also heart breaking but comforting at the same time. It matches the opening credits perfectly.
This show is what made me want to enlist in the marines ever since I was in the 6th grade and the day has finally come where I ship to Paris island tomorrow.
I love how Hans makes his music sound like distant artillery. The sound only a real combat vet has heard. The first time you have a shell hit close you never forget.
Theres a Reason why this intro is so emotional and sad, I think the message is to bring you the sad feeling, the feeling of war. An Incredible Song! So Wonderful!
I remembered the great battle of Normandy with the world war. Thank you to all the soldiers who motivated and fought for the homeland and the people will never forget you.
As far as movies are concerned, Thin Red Line is a masterpiece about the Pacific theater. It gets overlooked by Ryan, because they were released in the same time period, but it is more of a cerebral piece.
If tyranny and injustice is allowed to go rampant, then it could get to a point where it begins to threaten our freedoms. It may not now, but it could later. Besides, its not just about freedom for ourselves, it's about freedom for all people. All people have the right to be free. And beside all of that, the men who fought these wars weren't fighting for freedom. They were fighting for each other. The Government told them to go (except for the volunteers), so they went, because that is what any American should do, fight for your country when your country needs it most.
They didnt fight for us living in peace. They fought for the ruling class to spread its power. Could have lived in peace after an Axis victory as well. Just a different kind of world
I am a Muslim living in UK and listening to this music feels as though America used to be something great and everyone looked upto it. Now its a monster that no one is able to control but willing to die for regardless of the consequences of themselves or their future generation. But what is America now? Used to be the dream but now the nightmare.
My great uncle was enlisted into the Australian Army to fight the Japanese in New Guinea. I never met him but according to my grandad He left a proud and fun loving young man and returned a quiet and soft spoken and solemn man who never, ever told anyone about what happened, which was very common among vets at the time, it was seen as cowardly by many to seek help. He took his horrors to his grave 70 years later. I hope he's found his peace, hopefully his war ended as well at some point
My dad was in the 77th infantry. Guam, Leyte, Okinawa where about a third of his division were casualties. Never talked about any of it except Okinawa near the end of his life. He saw things that no one should have to but thats why they were the greatest generation. .
My great grandfather was in battle of okinawa as the slavery worker of japanese army. At the end of the battle, some american marines notice that he was korean and brought him back to home. Thnx always to US marine corps. To save my great grandfather, And save my country. We remember their sacrifice at the parcific, and chosin too.
Zimmer is the Mozart of our time and I stand by that belief, I play in band and understand music to some degree and what he does is truly amazing, especially composing for shows that honor veterans who served the USA well. Awe inspiring.
This music has so much meaning to me. My grandfather used to tell me stories about the war and the times they lived in. He was never a soldier as he was just a bit too young, but the stories he could tell about how it was living in a war zone and growing up in it always had a profound feeling of wonder they would give me. We would also watch these mini series together. First Band of Brothers and then The Pacific. You could see in his eyes every moment captured him. He told me watching these shows reminded him of his father who was a resistance fighter and how he looked up to him. My grandfather passed away due to a battle with cancer. This man was my hero and to honor his memories we played The Pacific theme on his funeral. Many tears were shed that day, but our fond memories of this incredibly kind and unique man will live on and keep bringing joy to the lives he touched. I want to thank everyone involved in the making of these incredible shows and this masterpiece for what it brought us.

You can feel the souls of all those men, got injured or killed in action in this theme. Such a great memorial for those brave men.
Yes, this music allows you to feel the souls of these great men. Well said.
One day all the veterans from WW2 British,Canadian or American will be gone, it's up to us as a generation to make sure we don't forget them, i know for sure I'll tell my children about they're sacrifice, I had family fight in WW2 in the RAF and British army, they were very lucky to all come back alive, a lot of their friends didn't.
All WW2 veterans from any country shouldn't be forgotten. Germany, Japan, Italy, still all brave
Let's keep on speaking of their deeds and sacrifices. Never to have their stories forgotten. Though the vets continue that slow but sure march to the grave.
Let’s not forget about millions of Soviets who died fighting Nazis.
Honor for the french resistants and french army too
And the Aussies too!
Band of Brothers and The Pacific: best series of all time!!
My Grandfather served on Gaudalcanal. He was an Army Sgt. in charge of clearing land mines and building bridges and roads. They did this under constant enemy sniper fire. My Grandfather almost died of malaria twice. He was ordered to send part of his detachment to clear a road, and they were all blown to pieces. He lived with the guilt of having to pick the men to follow that order, and the ones he picked all died. He was like a 2nd father to me and I miss him every day. My best memories are the times I spent with him, even when we would sit in silence. I would give just about anything to be with him for an hour. He died in 1997 when I was 21. Gone too soon.
Rip
Kakek mu orang hebat. Hormat untuk kakekmu
My grandpa just passed at 93. He was a green beret, and served in Korea and Vietnam. I'm 21 as you were. Men like our grandfathers don't come around too often. It is truly an honor to be have known one.
Omg 😢 I'm so sorry to know please remain strong for all those who have also lost their loved ones ...
Thanks to your grandfathers for their service. May they rest in peace!
The part starting around 2:03 is a punch right to the heart. Such a beautiful piece
Agreed!
Agree
Indeed❤❤❤
I always thought this change to the song represented triumph
We are losing the greatest generation faster than any of us can comprehend.
These days, it is more than important to go out of your way to thank a WWII vet for their service.
squirlysquirly969 We'll remember them in the greatest way we can, by building a world they would be proud of. By using our freedom to fullest, to forge a utopia for all mankind, a world that'd bring a tear of joy to their eye if they could see it.
Utopia sounds more like a dictatorship and in my personal opinion if I was a WWII veteran I would be absolutely appalled and ashamed of the world we've actually ruined with government corruption and greed
And honestly every veteran deserves to be thanked regardless of his or her rank, job, experiences, and the conflict in which they served
@@lemongrab8453 Gay!
A lot of that happens in the UK tbh, we still have the Chelsea pensioners and they get looked after very well. When a veteran dies and he has no family, or even if he does have family, his service usually turn out to the funeral in full dress, union draped coffin etc. It's really pleasing to see that regardless of all the muck and tripe in this country at the moment. There is still pride and patriotism here.
Really gets me pissed when someone says “Why do we waste time learning about World War II.”
erm who says that
MsAkiman numerous people who I went to school with.
@@raynavarro9838yeah same, kids nowadays dont really apreciate what these men had to go throught
@@starkiler13 Yeah these men gone through horrors of the second world war.
To be fair, it's a little over represented in media and popular culture over all other parts of history because of the perceived simplicity of events and coolness factor especially in countries where a participation in the war is a major source of nationalistic spirit and justification of military industrial complex and armaments. Both Russia and US are good examples among others. I'd also argue that whoever even said learning about WW2 is a waste of time would likely say the same of any part of history as it's one of the most if not the most popular historical timeline among average people and you'll probably hear some random WW2 facts from everyday laymen if you bring the topic up.
“War is brutish, inglorious, and a terrible waste... The only redeeming factors were my comrades' incredible bravery and their devotion to each other. Marine Corps training taught us to kill efficiently and to try to survive. But it also taught us loyalty to each other - and love. That espirit de corps sustained us.”
― Eugene B. Sledge, With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa

+Lordofzeldafed Sledge's story was absolutely incredible, as were they all. I don't often get emotional when watching films to the point of tears,, but when the end credits rolled on the final episode, of The Pacific, I don't mind admitting that totally out of nowhere, it all just hit me like a ton of bricks and I started balling. Very rare that I've been so moved by a film.
And they weren't just characters--they were real men. All of them.
Roosevelts best pick to Command the Pacific fleet. One of the Greatest in the History of the Navy.
Amen.
Im korean, but learning about American history, I feel like these americans were truly the greatest generation of all time. The men and women who survived the depression and then went on to fight in WWII. These people didn't die for fame or recognition, but because they fought what was right. From destroying tyranny to helping South Korea from the evils of communism. I can say thank you.
Eugene Shin God bless you much love from a American.
Eugene Shin I hate to be that guy, but it wasn't just the Americans who bled in WWII, Europe suffered tremendously.
Eugene Shin Two things. WWII was not just won by the US, but many Allies. British, Canadians, French, Russians, Australians, etc who all did their bit.
Since you're from South Korea and referring to the 1950-1953 Korean War as well (although it's directly linked to WW2, it's not part of the same war), don't forget that thousands of other UN troops as well as Americans fought and died there.
+Eugene Shin You're welcome and god bless your country:)
Yes but that was long time ago, now it's different. War war war never ending.
Never again will we see men like these. The Greatest Generation is a true understatement. RIP you magnificent men.
As the son of a WW2 veteran, you are 100% correct.
@@dannyb9140 don't forget the current military personnel they would do the same. Let's hope they don't have to.
@@barbaradyson6951 agreed. My son is a Marine.
Many of the WWI vets thought that the following generation was weak and not real men. However, when WWII arrived, they all answered the call and became the Greatest Generation. Dark times demands men to put their best foot forward and fight for justice, we will always answer the call.
I mean we would if there was a draft that forced us to war like it did them.

+Al Macias My dad's dad was a Navy Corpsman on Okinawa.
I am German, but I hope he did survive
God bless your dad man, no one will ever forget his sacrifice for his country. I hope he made it home safe.
All respect to your dad and all soldiers who dedicated in the war. My grandfather was a soldier too. Survived in WW2, in Chinese civil war, but didn't make it in Korea.

Great, now I'm gonna have to do the same while reflecting on random stuff standing on the rooftop on a random tuesday afternoon.
This is so hauntingly beautiful along with the pictoral. It makes me teary every time. I served in Iraq but my service pales to these men that served in ww2 in The Pacific. My salute to them.
You are not just brave but humble too. The finest qualities a person can possess. May you always find happiness in all you do.
And I Salute 🫡 to you and thank you for your service
When you realize more than 400,000 men and women lost their lives. Realize that freedom comes at a cost. It took 70 to 100 million people to die for us to understand what freedom is!
What you''ve done was As great as what they've done.
Agree, thank you sir. @@dliang4628
Whenever I feel sad, I just listen to this track on repeat with headphones on ! It Gives me a motivation

I'll be going Normandy later this year for the 70th anniversary of D-day to pay my respects to those who were lost in that section of the war, I know the Pacific theatre was no where the European theatre but I will always pay respect to those lost over in that part of the war as well. This music helps me to remember them.
That was my wish for this year's D-Day anniversary...unfortunately I wont be making it :C Give my respects to the men please. They are my heroes, my grandad and great uncle are among the dead both German and American alike. I will die with their memory burning strong in my mind. We would not be free without their sacrifice. The greatest generation to ever walk the earth lived and died in WW2. I am nothing compared to them. Thank you veterans for all you have done, and for all you have laid down in service to this great nation.
Erwin Rommel I will, may I ask which cemetery's their buried at so can give my own respects to them and what are there names.
My American grandad is buried in Omaha Beach Cemetery by the name of Christopher Cameron. As for my German great uncle...unfortunately I dont know exactly where his grave is, somewhere in normandy.
Thank you very much for the offer.
Erwin Rommel your welcome
lets commemorate the 70th anniversary of D-Day and the ones who we lost
Recently watched the Pacific again. The hardest part that actually broke me down was in the beginning, when Eugene's dad basically cleared him after his heart murmurs, he said he didn't want to see his son become soulless. But we slowly see Eugene becoming soulless because his dad saw what happened to others during world war 1. Episodes 9 and 10 actually had me crying hard dudes. You really just have to put yourself in both Eugene and his dad's position. You want to be tough, but you can't because you saw the atrocities of war, and you see your child become broken down
The most haunting piece of music I have ever heard. It is mesmerizing. Maybe someday someone will write as beautiful a piece of music for all the Vietnam Veterans.
And years after that Iraq and Afghanistan veterans
@@Bushwhackerdk We all deserve more than music...but its a start!
You could play this music for any military veteran. Hell even people like fallen First Responders
With great respect to you for serving in Vietnam and Iraq, WWII is not even in the slightest comparable to these political wars. It was a global war for global humanity and for the world we live in today, which young generations tend to forget...so sad, because if forgotten, it will happen again...
My great grandfather served as a marine in the USMC he survived the war served 41 to 45 he died a few days ago And i just need to come back and listen to this because this is beutiful my grandfathers actions were so amazing that it inspired me to sign up and i did i was stationed in a fort in texas where today i am still there and i salute all those marines who fought for their families.
My great Uncles served in the RAF in North Africa, respect to your Great grandfather, I also had another uncle who was a stretcher bearer in the British army on D-Day he never spoke about what he saw or had to do that day, to be honest none of them spoke about what they did, my guess is that they wanted to forget, it was just something they had to do.
i respect what your saying but lets be real ya names sponge hitler 😂
try losing 2 family loads of generations in both the 14 to 18 and 39 to 45 war respect to your grandad tho fella
Respect for your Grandfather. My grandfather was a soldier who fought for Independence for Indonesia. I always heard the story about how my Grandfather and his unit fought against the Japanese and the Dutch at that time. How they had to sleep at hole and all and also doing guerrilla war against them. He died cause of Heart Attack and until now, I still remember how the Army was insist to buried him at Hero Cemetery but in the end we buried him in local one according to his will and give him a proper burial.
No matter who you are, no matter where you are, I always respect all soldiers cause they doing what it's right.
SpongeHitler My Grandfather died in 1944 in Battle of D-Day Normandy invasion, wish mine could be alive but we salute you
I give my whole heart to those ww soldiers and veterans.Im not an American but I feel very strange feeling with sorrow about them...when I am playing this music and the melody makes me realize Im playing to those soldiers who had sacrificed their everything to make a peaceful world. cant even imagine how much pain,fear they had faced and how horrible the war was..If I could meet them I would hug all of them..RIP and happy veterans' day.
An absolute masterpiece of musical composition. It stirs the heart and challenges our patriotism. We must not forget these men and others like them. History can never be rewritten; only forgotten.
As oliverguam said above You can feel the souls of all those men
I believe now the latest numbers are in and I believe it is only 20% of all US WWII Veterans are still around. Over 80% have left us already, I am 16 and I am realizing now how fortunate I am to be able to talk to these men and get to know them. Regrettably I must say that my children God willing I have children will not be able to meet them. Speak with them and try and understand from first hand experiences what they went through. To the greatest generation with such members as, my Grandpa Paul, my Great Grandpa LaForgia, and my Great Great Uncle Andy Defeo thanks you we here remaining salute you. We are examples that your sacrifices and that of your brothers was not and will never be so help us God...
God Bless You
God Bless Your Legacy
God Bless America
Wow Luke, such an articulate and thoughtful post. Many people, including those far older than you could not formulate the appreciation you've shown!
If I'm not mistaken, the last WWII Veteran died a year or two back.
Blademaa01 That was the last WW1 veteran, Harry Patch. Quite a few WW2 vets are still around.
I lost my WW2 veteran Navy officer/pilot father 11 years ago....he was 1 wk shy of his 80th birthday....we have to move on but losing such a group of, for the most part, magnificent, selfless men is shocking, disconcerting and sad
your intentions are amendable but do not forget that america didn't fight alone and that the russians suffered the blunt of the attack throughout the war (80% of the german troops).So when you say God bless America you're leaving behind anyone else and it's not fair.Have a good day.
I, a Thai person, would like to thank all the American soldiers who sacrificed their lives to save East Asia from the dangers of the Japanese Empire. My country fought against Japan in World War 2, and in the Vietnam War, Thailand and America worked together to fight the North Vietnamese army 🇹🇭🤝🇺🇲
I have a friend that passed a few years ago from cancer. His dad survived the Batan Death march. On his wall was a flag and medals that were his dad's. I was in awe of that flag and those medals and of his dad who survived. RIP Bob and I pray you are with your dad.
The old world has Mozart, Beethoven, Bach....we have Hans Zimmer

My Uncle served as a Marine in the Pacific during WWII. I had 8 by 10 pictures of him flushing out the enemy soldiers using a flamethrower. He came back in one piece and lived a long life. I am proud of him and those that died serving our nation.
Thanks Mr. Hicks you're absolutely right and yes he was lucky ! He is long gone and has since died, but I appreciate your comment. God Bless the United States of America and to all those that served during WWII.
I see you said 'had', but any chance you still have those photos?
Thanks to your uncle for his service!
My great grandfather fought in the eastern front against the soviets from 1942-1943. He survived the war just because his right arm was blown off by a grenade just before the soviets destroyed the second hungarian army in 43 january. He told me lots of stories... he was a hero. Rest in peace papa... you fought well...
Not to be an asshole, but I can't help but point out that wouldn't the whole cause be tainted given the people in charge at the time in Germany?
Not questioning his skills at arms or bravery, just seems questionable to call them a hero for a tainted cause.
@@rainyvideos3684 it all depends on the beholder
@@rainyvideos3684 we all have our family heroes
also i think his great grandfather fought for hungary
my respects,friend..my grand grandfather died in eastern front too,he was romanian
I never skipped the intro when I watch the pacific. The music is incredible ... hell the Band of Brothers and the Pacific are incredible series. I wish I could meet any of the soldiers from the series.
3 just died from easy Company in the last two months alone, it's hard to think that the greatest generation will not be with us much longer...
Luke Patton Wow really? do you know who they were? But its hard to think that some day there won't be anymore WW2 veterans alive. Don't get me wrong its always sad when heroes from previous wars don't exist anymore but something about WW2 veterans not existing someday gets to me. Maybe cause I know that they are still alive.
I'd give anything to meet one of those great men from Easy. CURRAHEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TheProvinceOfGaming Yeah. I am sure I can sit there and for hours listen to their "Great Adventure." Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks know how to deliver. I'm sure the majority of us would of never known who they were until the show started.
I know that Sidney J. Phillips still lives near Mobile, R.V Burgin is still around and same with Chuck Tatum. I'm not sure about Band Of Brothers though.
My Grandpa fought in Iwo Jima and managed to survive, I never truly thought about what happened to him until after he died. My mother told me he woke up one morning to his best friend dead in the foxhole with him. I also cannot believe he kept his sanity after experiening these horrible things. He never really showed it, except for the fact that he hated fireworks.
In Memory of all those who gave their own lives for us. Always Thinking about my father who lost his life in1943 on HMS EGRET.

Now we have “men” in the military who wear dresses.
Bravo, Hans. Bravo. Onbe of my favorite orchestral compositions ever. Of all time.

This has to be one of my favorite intros of all time.
I work over in Hillsborough NJ, every day on my way to the office I pass by the statue of Sgt. John Basilone in Raritan. Every day I think of this tune and every time it hits me right in the feels...
He was the man
I'm from Bergen County and Robert Leckie was from my area growing up in Rutherford and Hackensack then later passed away in Sussex near Mount Vernon
My grandfather was in the Army during World War II (he turned 18 near the end of 1944). Just a few months before the planned invasion of the Japanese home islands (Operation Downfall), he was stationed on a Naval ship at the end of the war, in preparation for the invasion of Japan. Luckily for him (and for countless others on *BOTH* sides), he never had to fight because of President Truman's decision to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki; though he was stationed in Japan until 1949 during its post-war occupation.
Obviously, the atomic bombings were terrible events for the Japanese (and I have my utmost sympathy for everyone who died in those attacks or survived with horrible scars), but it certainly saved a million or so lives on both sides. If it wasn't for the atomic bombs, many of us wouldn't be here today.
Seeing this series and watching documentaries on World War II in the Pacific made me realize how awful it would have been for him and countless others on both sides. While I can see why someone might say that we should've never dropped the atomic bombs, I want them to also realize how much worse it would have been for both sides and how much longer WWII would have been for the US and Japan.
Christian Vennemann this comment deserves more likes
I read the end of this right at 2:34, and it’s as if that note symbolized horrible necessity of the bombs.

I am a babyboomer Canadian who came from Hong Kong, then still a British colony, where I was born and grew up.
WW2 has always been my interest, and I studied not only its weapons and battles but also its historic implications and geopolitical consequences, which affect us even today.
I am glad the Allies won and my respect to all Allied soldiers who did their duty, especially those who had made sacrifices beyond the call of duty.
I am also grateful to the US, without which participation, WW2 would have taken a much harder route, even assuming an Allied victory at the end.
Ich mag diesen schönen und berührenden Soundtrack sehr:)
On behalf of my people, I would like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice that you have given, so my people can be free from Japanese occupation. They are truly America's greatest generation who survive the great depression, Spanish flu and one of if not the most colossal man-made disaster ever. My word may not mean anything but at least let me say with my own mother language Terima kasih (thank you) and to all of those who died fighting for freedom during that time ,may their soul rest in peace. and may their sacrifice and bravery inspired us all .
Terima kasih = Thank you
Thank for your service from S.korea. cuz my country help independent by U.S. marines.

Hans zimmer is the best existing music composer on earth
Thanks for his existing
Reduces me to tears every time I hear it. The best piece of music I have ever heard, nothing comes close.
My great grandfather fought in the Pacific theatre, he was part of the USAFFE under General MacArthur here in the Philippines, I felt sad because 3 months after his death our family recieved a letter from the US Embassy for him to go to Manila to be instated as an American Citizen. Thank you grandpa and to all those here who had family who fought in the war their sacrifices will never be forgotten.
PS: 9 years on this is still my favorite series along with Band Of Brothers and I still rewatch them over and over again and never get tired of it especially the intro 💯❤️
Is it odd that despite not knowing anything about the show I cried when I heard the intro?
Nope. It's just awesome either way, but it's better when you watch the show :)
+AppocolyptoRachet I did watch it, I watched BOB before and tried this one, when I started the first episode and heard the intro, It almost felt like hours went by when listening and I have no idea why but I started crying then, I don't know why, I had no relative who I knew were veterans, I suppose I was just connected to it due to my Chinese roots
Not at all. The intro says what the whole show will say in music anyway.
I served ROK Marine corps.
US Marine corps is our brother Marines.
Thank you for your service!
From south Korea.
ROK Armed Forces are great. Thank you.
I like how the french Horn gives the beautiful sound in this music

yeah Kim jong un's granpa helped japan become one of the largest country in the world
More British soldiers died than American.
no Americans didnt brought you freedom. Your ancestors earned that from 1987
@@Ad-er5rc Not only is that incorrect but why do Euros put such value into how many of their brothers died in a war?
Sean Walters it’s not incorrect at all.
This piece makes my heart burst with pride every time. It's also heart breaking but comforting at the same time. It matches the opening credits perfectly.
This show is what made me want to enlist in the marines ever since I was in the 6th grade and the day has finally come where I ship to Paris island tomorrow.
Semper Fi, and good luck!
God's speed.
This soundtrack reminds me to never forget the sacrifice these men made to protect our freedoms!!!! Great show
I love how Hans makes his music sound like distant artillery. The sound only a real combat vet has heard. The first time you have a shell hit close you never forget.
They left as boys. They returned as men. But not all. Not all.
Medal of honro
Theres a Reason why this intro is so emotional and sad, I think the message is to bring you the sad feeling, the feeling of war. An Incredible Song! So Wonderful!
I remembered the great battle of Normandy with the world war. Thank you to all the soldiers who motivated and fought for the homeland and the people will never forget you.
As far as movies are concerned, Thin Red Line is a masterpiece about the Pacific theater. It gets overlooked by Ryan, because they were released in the same time period, but it is more of a cerebral piece.
Brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it. Emotion filled to the very last moment. Utterly outstanding, even after all these years.
Freedom isn't free.
No shit

And if you don't throw in your buck'o five who will?
If tyranny and injustice is allowed to go rampant, then it could get to a point where it begins to threaten our freedoms. It may not now, but it could later. Besides, its not just about freedom for ourselves, it's about freedom for all people. All people have the right to be free. And beside all of that, the men who fought these wars weren't fighting for freedom. They were fighting for each other. The Government told them to go (except for the volunteers), so they went, because that is what any American should do, fight for your country when your country needs it most.
I feel the the pain, the bravery, and the valor. Never forget the men who saved the world.
I swear this is one of my favorite shows of all time and probably will be for the rest of my life.
Just look at the titles and their plots are easily explained.
Band of Brothers- Character centered
The Pacific- Region based
+DishonoredHero97 both have a very different way of filming and plot. But yet both are good
DaHuzyBru true that
DaHuzyBru Tru
Hans Zimmer the best
We should cast our mind back to the reason why we can live in peace. that is because they fought .
I agree
okwlsgks dam
okwlsgks we should sorry about my fist comment
Amen.
They didnt fight for us living in peace. They fought for the ruling class to spread its power. Could have lived in peace after an Axis victory as well. Just a different kind of world
With band of brothers, this series is clearly in the top of the best series ever made. No one can disaprove it.
I am a Muslim living in UK and listening to this music feels as though America used to be something great and everyone looked upto it. Now its a monster that no one is able to control but willing to die for regardless of the consequences of themselves or their future generation.
But what is America now? Used to be the dream but now the nightmare.
Hans Zimmer is a god
yup
Please do not start a cult.
WHAT AN GOD
He's a demigod. John Williams is the one true God!
Steve H. Exactly Is just a Human with big Talent
My great uncle was enlisted into the Australian Army to fight the Japanese in New Guinea. I never met him but according to my grandad He left a proud and fun loving young man and returned a quiet and soft spoken and solemn man who never, ever told anyone about what happened, which was very common among vets at the time, it was seen as cowardly by many to seek help. He took his horrors to his grave 70 years later. I hope he's found his peace, hopefully his war ended as well at some point
My dad was in the 77th infantry. Guam, Leyte, Okinawa where about a third of his division were casualties. Never talked about any of it except Okinawa near the end of his life. He saw things that no one should have to but thats why they were the greatest generation. .
My great grandfather was in battle of okinawa as the slavery worker of japanese army.
At the end of the battle, some american marines notice that he was korean and brought him back to home.
Thnx always to US marine corps. To save my great grandfather, And save my country.
We remember their sacrifice at the parcific, and chosin too.
When the Pacific came out, I thought it was worse that Band of Brothers. But now as I turn 27, I realise just how good both are.
Zimmer is the Mozart of our time and I stand by that belief, I play in band and understand music to some degree and what he does is truly amazing, especially composing for shows that honor veterans who served the USA well. Awe inspiring.
This music has so much meaning to me.
My grandfather used to tell me stories about the war and the times they lived in. He was never a soldier as he was just a bit too young, but the stories he could tell about how it was living in a war zone and growing up in it always had a profound feeling of wonder they would give me.
We would also watch these mini series together. First Band of Brothers and then The Pacific. You could see in his eyes every moment captured him. He told me watching these shows reminded him of his father who was a resistance fighter and how he looked up to him.
My grandfather passed away due to a battle with cancer. This man was my hero and to honor his memories we played The Pacific theme on his funeral.
Many tears were shed that day, but our fond memories of this incredibly kind and unique man will live on and keep bringing joy to the lives he touched.
I want to thank everyone involved in the making of these incredible shows and this masterpiece for what it brought us.
Heroes don't wear capes, they wear dog tags.
