My grandparents were married 78 years. I think about it all the time. Love like that couldn't possibly be bought. Thats a different kind of love right there
Yes that's magnificent!That's called TRUE Love,mutual LOVE in spite of 71 years worth of temptation,distraction,arguments,they honoured eachother in LOVE .Beautiful
I liked the other guys thoughts about that though. He obviously meant that they had all those years when their fallen comrads had not. But seeing what really old age does to people is always a bit depressing.
anyone who chucks their parents in a nursing home should hang their head in shame. No matter how well or NOT well I do in life, I ain't putting them in a home that's for damn sure..
@@TheShubbah I can understand for a few reasons. Working in hospice care, some parents are going through terrible dementia and alzheimers. Along with heart breaking, it's a full time job, which some children in their 30's can't handle, and it is especially bad if they have young children to see grandma/grandpa spiral down this hill. Othertimes, the child is also old and needs assisted care and is unable to take care of their parent. One that I took care of had a daughter who was stuck in a wheelchair after a car accident, she sent her mom to a nursing home since she had a stroke and needed to be lifted up off the bed and fed before being put back. It's heartbreaking, but in cases like these it's understandable.
@@ChakraX2 you are very right mate, I'll admit I was talking about the people who aren't in those types of situations. I see so many "well off" people shoving their parents into homes, just so they can continue living the good life, going to the country club etc and would rather that, than look after the people who looked after them their whole life. makes me mad
Lance Vance They had a reason to kill people, to protect and serve. I understand that, that’s a sin but we’re all sinners. God may forgive their actions as he forgave our actions.
my grandpa tought army how to fight during ww2 they called him buck. bc he would get into fights at the bar n when the mp’s came he would run off like a mad man into the woods like a buck deer.
My Grandad never fought in the war because he was a coal miner in Yorkshire, England. But his brothers did. One of his brothers was just a few weeks away from surviving the war. He landed on the beaches on D-Day and fought through northern Europe, but was killed in the Netherlands. I get really emotional when seeing surviving WW2 veterans living a good life. They are all amazing for what they did. Too many people don't fully appreciate the scale of the victory and the fact that we can never fully thank them for it.
Your loss of your Uncle is painful still. I lost an Uncle it is as well. I was never allowed to ask anything about WWII to my relatives, but I wish I would have broken that rule just to let them know that I appriciated them. You are right in saying that we can never fully thank them for it.
Similar story, my great-grandfather was a coal miner in Lancashire and didn't fight in the war and my other great-grandfather landed on the beaches during the D-Day operation, he suffered shell shock only a week later though and was sent home.
"You're 96? I'm 92. I still chase girls" Had me almost in tears, that man never lost his sense of humour through all of what life threw at them. A true American hero

My grandfather was a ww2 vet in the south Pacific, he arrived in Hiroshima 2 wks after the bombing, his stories traumatized me, this story reminds me of the stories my grandfather told me of his Bros in arms that experienced what he did.
To anyone who help this vet get his wish--Thank you. To the vets themselves, we will never forget that you did your duty and we thank you for it. God bless you all.
IMO, after taking care of many elderly people as a LPN/RN in several nursing homes/adult care facilities. It really isn't depression per se, it is more that they feel they have lived long enough,. Most of their friends and family their age are gone, they can't do much for themselves, sometimes feel like a burden to have to be cared for and are prepared for the end. I worked 2nd shift most of the time and spent many late evenings during slow times during shift to sit and talk with many 90 somethings+. It was very enlightening and was very glad I could give them some extra attention and one-on-one time, actually tried to do this with as many of the residents as time allowed. I truly hope the restrictions for nursing home visits are lifted soon because I bet there are many residents of these facilities who miss their family and friends. I can't imagine what it must be like for those who don't/can't understand why nobody can visit them.
@@wendeln92 Bless your soul. It already takes a lot to do what you do and yet you still go the extra mile for your patients. I just wanted to take the time to write this and to thank you for your hard work. Take care out there!
Perhaps not the same, but still good and bad... dont pander to some nostalgic delusion of how everything was better before. They had their struggles we got ours, they fought for a righteous cause, a righteous cause they fought in the hopes that the next generation wouldnt have to deal with the same hell they went through.
He also went back to Guadalcanal just a few months before this meeting. www.militarytimes.com/veterans/2017/08/22/world-war-ii-raider-returns-to-guadalcanal/
What a beautiful moment, the old man badly wanted to meet someone who shared and understood that experience of a terrifying battle that changed their lives, and for that last final salute to each other and to fallen comrades.

I was in DC and at the WWII memorial and I saw a man in a wheelchair. His family was showing him the memorial. I don't know exactly why, but I asked to tell him thank you for his service. The man started crying. I knelt down and held his hand, speaking of my appreciation for all who served and that I was unable to tell my own Uncle this as we weren't allowed to bring the subject up. I asked if I could give him a hug and he agreed. I motioned his daughter aside and apologized for making him cry. She said that he had not spoken much about the war, but wanted to come here. I will never forget that man. He was so special.
does not work that way. if u get told to do something, u do exacly what your told. its either that or desertion. if u were to desert. your life is officially over.
Getting old effects you in many ways you wouldn't expect, you comprehend life differently with age. It's not so much mental now, it's more of a feeling, like you can taste life sort of, you can feel the heat of the day way back when... It's a sad feeling knowing it's all coming to an end and you can't correct the mistakes of your past. All the things you could have done, but didn't. The picture of this life becomes more real toward the end, the Marine Corps and the time we spent in uniform never leaves us, it's just like yesterday. I will miss them, the Greatest Generation! Semper Fi Marines
Ultraist Playz I’m 19 but I wish i can go back when i was 15 to start rebuilding what a man i want to be in the future. From 15 to 18 its time which you decide what you want to be
Ultraist Playz It’s reasonable, a lot can happen over such a short period of time. You could’ve been through more hell than most people over the age of 30 even.
This is really sad. My grandpa, a WWII vet, is going to be 97 in February. He's incredibly with it for his age. I wouldn't be surprised if he had another 20 in him. He's practically a celebrity every time we go out somewhere and he wears his veteran cap. I'm sure he would have gotten along swimmingly with these two gentlemen. Rest in peace, guys.
I don't think I've ever had more reverence for a group that I've never really met/interacted with before as much as I do for WWII vets. Absolute units of humanity.
Honestly, it’s probably for the better, had they not passed at that time, they may never have gotten to meet, especially with COVID, so it’s good that they were able to
96&92 it’s amazing to think how much these men have seen and experienced. 20 years old and they are in battle alone, scared, away from family not thinking they will make it but they made it 70 years later to talk to each other. Something so incredibly amazing about timelines and life.
@@CGetRight hey bro, they were the military pioneers during half of the 20th century and had best scientists.and don't forget they almost captured all of Europe and had to be taken down by Russians, Americans, British (and it's commonwealth) and half of the population of World.

Awesome to see a 92 year old man hangout and treat his 96 year old friend with the care he would've taken if they were still 22 and 26 helping his wounded buddy from combat.. These dudes lived through hell and that's a lifetime bond. Rip to both of them. They're playing cards with Elvis I'm sure.
Jammy this makes me laugh because I had a online friend on my ps3 that I met at least 8 years ago and we were good friends and when the ps4 came out I kinda stopped talkin to him. And a few months back I got a friend req from him on my ps4 cuz he got a used one for cheap. Probably went 4 years without talking to him :P

@john probst Well really, they *were* kids. They did one hell of bang up job, yes... but most of these guys were barely old enough to legally make decisions for themselves.
I love how the other man took charge and initiated the conversations. You could tell he was a good sergeant. He even told him to look up at the camera. 😄 What a leader.
@Provocateur so your trying to say it was all of the nazis that caused the death of many jews and not hitler when hitler was the one that formed the nazis? And your trying to tell me japan leaders didnt decide to have pearl harbor bombed in order to try to keep the U.S out of the war? And that soldiers wanted to fight? A lot of soldiers did what they were told to do and to defend what they had i guarentee you if you spoke to any ww2 veteran they wouldve wished the war couldve been avoided.

Death is only a moment. What happens after is an Eternity. I'll leave you with this message to reflect on, and realize that while we may be sad that our friends, and family all leave us alone in this world, we'll see them again.
This is a fantastic video. Thank you to everyone who made it happen for this Veteran, especially the Marine who came to meet with him. My father was a Marine pilot and I don't remember if he was involved in that battle. They were an extraordinary generation of men and women who made our quality of life possible. Thank you to all of them FOREVER!
My great grandpa was a WW2 veteran. Sadly, he died on October 11, 2019. We all miss him by heart. Salute to all of our fallen soldiers that sacrificed themselves for us.
A family friend of mine was a pilot in WW2 and we invite him for thanksgiving and Christmas every year because he doesn’t have any family left. One of the best people i’ve ever met.
"Life's been pretty good for you and I..." Everything they went through and they still appreciate the beauty of life. So few people truly appreciate this gift and take it for granted.
I don't this it is regardless of their experience, but because of. They look back at all their friends that did not get to have a life, and try their utmost best to enjoy theirs to honor those sacrifices.

@@Officially_Nuts1234 and that’s okay. But we can’t be scared of something so natural forever. It’s okay to be afraid of death and old age, but don’t let it stop you from living your life and talking to those who have lived their lives to the fullest.
They grew up in the throes of the Great Depression. They fought a world war. Then they rebuilt the country. There will never be another generation like this one.
These men were MEN. An incredible generation of men that fought against one of the most oppressive regimes and saw nightmarish scenarios. These men will never be forgotten.
I really got emotional when I saw their younger pictures. They were so young and full of life, and it’s gonna happen to us too. We’re gonna grow old, probably marry the love of our life, have kids and grandchildren, and retire. We are young and free, let’s live our life to the fullest, and do everything you want since we only live once.
thats pretty common actually, its called trauma bonding, anyone can do it with any trauma not just war. there are plenty living in your own country that have worse trauma than this old man.
@@uncleol possibly- yeah. It's not uncommon to think the only "trauma" or the main or worst trauma a person experience is physical. You have no idea how much psychological trauma can cause life long pain and anguish that a single bullet wound can't compare. At least with that bullet wound you had every opportunity to prepare during periods of war when everyone is getting shot. Try being abused your entire life since infancy and having hundreds or thousands of wounds inflicted on your newly developing neurology. You ever see The Joker movie with Joaquin Pheonix? That's the type of outcome we can see in that form of trauma. War trauma is similar but not always long lasting- afterall- you have comrades- you have teammates you have brothers in arms who are going through the SAME thing for support- plenty of people come back from war with no adverse conditions or are able to recover- but there are certain injuries you cant recover from. Most of the issues faced by vets are their lack of social supports and the fact that males are socially withdrawn from expressing their feelings. so they have no where to take those pains and are expected to suck it up- and thats how you end up with men turning to things like alcohol to cope. If you're curious about the subject I highly recommend a documentary called "The Wisdom of Trauma" by Dr Gabor Mate- he was born and raised during turmultuous world war 2 and shares what that experience does to the neuroanatomy of a small child.
@xeirux8911 good thing no one has come close to saying that. But I'm curious. A small child grown raised by a violent drunk, are we getting closer to war vet or is the only version of trauma you know involve violence? So if I abandoned my child in an airport. That's cool with you? How about tattoo? Your opinion of what is or isnt trauma is based on a very limited perspective.
*VSauce* explains why *every other generation* has always projected what they *subjectively* think is the "greatest generation": it's a mental cliche called *juvenoia!* ruclips.net/video/LD0x7ho_IYc/видео.html
My grandfather was in in the U.S. Navy during WW2. He served out in California, repairing battle damaged ships. He told me about the carnage he saw when these ships came back from fighting the Japanese. That was something he said he would never forget. He was 96 years old when passed away. I miss him.
Was you father working at Mare Island near Vallejo? Because they repaired a lot of battle damaged ships there. And yeah, they had a few people there who recovered human remains from battle damaged ships. They saw some horrible stuff.
Heinrich Himmler yea and in america they just found one that hid his identity for decades and they just deported him back to Germany and Germany didnt even wanted him back. He’s 95 years old I believe.
My father passed away in 2020. 97 years young. A WWII vet fighting with the 48th Highlanders of Canada. He lost a leg at 20 in Italy. He never complained. Like the 2 Marine Sergeants above. They were all tough as nails!!! God Bless them.
That generation is beyond the incredible. No complains, hard work, straight back. Your father is a hero and my country owes him a leg, it's important you know how much my people are grateful for men like him and how much you must be proud of your father. His sacrifice and those of many boys like him are the milestone of our troubled democracy. Thank you.
My respect goes out to your father, he fought for the peace that was restored today. I am 12 however I still respect the army, I don’t care if people laugh at me, I’m respecting someone that saved other peoples lives and helped save the world. My deepest condolences go out to you, a great man indeed from what I hear, Canadians were ruthless back then!

Be yourself my guy, follow your dreams and dont let people's judgement be your fall!
i remember i was about 8 and i saw a ww2 veteran walking his dog i could tell by his hat he was a pearl harbor veteran we spoke for a while i thanked him for his service and we went on are separate ways i remember that day vividly i will never forget... thank you for your service ww2 vets thank you...
ThatUndeadLegacy ignore some of unjustified actions America has done aling with mainstream medias, but what is wrong with carring over a national war veteran?
This is what Heros look like I've just lost my grandad..a veteran of the Korean war.he was so humble. He went to war and did his job, he came home to England back in 1954 and loved his wife unconditionally until she passed away. These people can't be forgotten 🙌
They were called "The Greatest Generation" for a reason. We all owe them a debt of gratitude and not many are left. I'd like to now say Thank You for your service and may God Bless each and everyone of you.
The difference between these brave folks and this current generation of America hating Antifa only cements the fact that were not long for this world. If these guys could have looked ahead and seen what they were fighting for they would have thrown up their hands and surrendered.

Othertimes, the child is also old and needs assisted care and is unable to take care of their parent. One that I took care of had a daughter who was stuck in a wheelchair after a car accident, she sent her mom to a nursing home since she had a stroke and needed to be lifted up off the bed and fed before being put back.

My Grandad never fought in the war because he was a coal miner in Yorkshire, England. But his brothers did. One of his brothers was just a few weeks away from surviving the war. He landed on the beaches on D-Day and fought through northern Europe, but was killed in the Netherlands. I get really emotional when seeing surviving WW2 veterans living a good life. They are all amazing for what they did. Too many people don't fully appreciate the scale of the victory and the fact that we can never fully thank them for it.
Your loss of your Uncle is painful still. I lost an Uncle it is as well. I was never allowed to ask anything about WWII to my relatives, but I wish I would have broken that rule just to let them know that I appriciated them. You are right in saying that we can never fully thank them for it.
Similar story, my great-grandfather was a coal miner in Lancashire and didn't fight in the war and my other great-grandfather landed on the beaches during the D-Day operation, he suffered shell shock only a week later though and was sent home.

@@glasses7577 he looked sadder than the other guy I’m not sure why, might’ve been nerves but he looked tired
IMO, after taking care of many elderly people as a LPN/RN in several nursing homes/adult care facilities. It really isn't depression per se, it is more that they feel they have lived long enough,. Most of their friends and family their age are gone, they can't do much for themselves, sometimes feel like a burden to have to be cared for and are prepared for the end. I worked 2nd shift most of the time and spent many late evenings during slow times during shift to sit and talk with many 90 somethings+. It was very enlightening and was very glad I could give them some extra attention and one-on-one time, actually tried to do this with as many of the residents as time allowed. I truly hope the restrictions for nursing home visits are lifted soon because I bet there are many residents of these facilities who miss their family and friends. I can't imagine what it must be like for those who don't/can't understand why nobody can visit them.

I was in DC and at the WWII memorial and I saw a man in a wheelchair. His family was showing him the memorial. I don't know exactly why, but I asked to tell him thank you for his service. The man started crying. I knelt down and held his hand, speaking of my appreciation for all who served and that I was unable to tell my own Uncle this as we weren't allowed to bring the subject up. I asked if I could give him a hug and he agreed. I motioned his daughter aside and apologized for making him cry. She said that he had not spoken much about the war, but wanted to come here.

Getting old effects you in many ways you wouldn't expect, you comprehend life differently with age. It's not so much mental now, it's more of a feeling, like you can taste life sort of, you can feel the heat of the day way back when... It's a sad feeling knowing it's all coming to an end and you can't correct the mistakes of your past. All the things you could have done, but didn't. The picture of this life becomes more real toward the end, the Marine Corps and the time we spent in uniform never leaves us, it's just like yesterday. I will miss them, the Greatest Generation!

@@CircmcisionIsChi1dAbus3 worse trauma than having a bullet through the neck?
@@uncleol possibly- yeah. It's not uncommon to think the only "trauma" or the main or worst trauma a person experience is physical. You have no idea how much psychological trauma can cause life long pain and anguish that a single bullet wound can't compare. At least with that bullet wound you had every opportunity to prepare during periods of war when everyone is getting shot. Try being abused your entire life since infancy and having hundreds or thousands of wounds inflicted on your newly developing neurology.
You ever see The Joker movie with Joaquin Pheonix? That's the type of outcome we can see in that form of trauma. War trauma is similar but not always long lasting- afterall- you have comrades- you have teammates you have brothers in arms who are going through the SAME thing for support- plenty of people come back from war with no adverse conditions or are able to recover- but there are certain injuries you cant recover from. Most of the issues faced by vets are their lack of social supports and the fact that males are socially withdrawn from expressing their feelings. so they have no where to take those pains and are expected to suck it up- and thats how you end up with men turning to things like alcohol to cope.
If you're curious about the subject I highly recommend a documentary called "The Wisdom of Trauma" by Dr Gabor Mate- he was born and raised during turmultuous world war 2 and shares what that experience does to the neuroanatomy of a small child.
@xeirux8911 good thing no one has come close to saying that. But I'm curious. A small child grown raised by a violent drunk, are we getting closer to war vet or is the only version of trauma you know involve violence? So if I abandoned my child in an airport. That's cool with you? How about tattoo? Your opinion of what is or isnt trauma is based on a very limited perspective.

The greatest generation. True heroes.
Kakap0 actually called doomed generation
Roman Plasencia doomed generation*
How is it the greatest if it started ww2
Gssr Rbhds exactly
*VSauce* explains why *every other generation* has always projected what they *subjectively* think is the "greatest generation": it's a mental cliche called *juvenoia!*

My grandfather was in in the U.S. Navy during WW2. He served out in California, repairing battle damaged ships. He told me about the carnage he saw when these ships came back from fighting the Japanese. That was something he said he would never forget. He was 96 years old when passed away. I miss him.
God Bless your Grandpa! Thank you for my Freedom, Go Navy
Was you father working at Mare Island near Vallejo? Because they repaired a lot of battle damaged ships there. And yeah, they had a few people there who recovered human remains from battle damaged ships. They saw some horrible stuff.
“Life’s been pretty good for both of us haha”
“Right now it ain’t so good”

It was a sad and funny moment

My grandparents will be celebrating 73 years of marriage this August 💕💕 my grandpa is 93 and my grandma is 91. So blessed to have them around still
it's sad all of our ww2 boys are becoming extinct :(
They're not extinct in our hearts and in heaven, but on earth they're extinct
Heinrich Himmler yea and in america they just found one that hid his identity for decades and they just deported him back to Germany and Germany didnt even wanted him back. He’s 95 years old I believe.
There’s a man named Richard Overton in Austin that fought in world war 2 and he’s about 112. Surprised he’s still going strong.
@DSLR Films what exactly is 21st century rubbish talk?
my grandfather is alive, defended yugoslavia against the nazis
An American hero? A hero who is American. These men are world heroes. Thank you from England.
My father passed away in 2020. 97 years young. A WWII vet fighting with the 48th Highlanders of Canada. He lost a leg at 20 in Italy.
He never complained. Like the 2 Marine Sergeants above. They were all tough as nails!!! God Bless them.
That generation is beyond the incredible. No complains, hard work, straight back. Your father is a hero and my country owes him a leg, it's important you know how much my people are grateful for men like him and how much you must be proud of your father. His sacrifice and those of many boys like him are the milestone of our troubled democracy. Thank you.
He got it good in Italy fighting incompetent Italian soldiers
My respect goes out to your father, he fought for the peace that was restored today. I am 12 however I still respect the army, I don’t care if people laugh at me, I’m respecting someone that saved other peoples lives and helped save the world. My deepest condolences go out to you, a great man indeed from what I hear, Canadians were ruthless back then!
@@diamondrobloxgamer8818 I feel you, 17 now, but i've had this dream of joining the Air forces, been laughed at many times, for not wanting "More", seems people nowadays only care for doctors and such "high tier jobs", but the other people who save lifes , being them soldiers, policemen, firefighters and many others, are laughted, looked upon.
Be yourself my guy, follow your dreams and dont let people's judgement be your fall!
@@tjrex9458 thank you 🙏
i remember i was about 8 and i saw a ww2 veteran walking his dog i could tell by his hat he was a pearl harbor veteran we spoke for a while i thanked him for his service and we went on are separate ways i remember that day vividly i will never forget... thank you for your service ww2 vets thank you...

ThatUndeadLegacy ignore some of unjustified actions America has done aling with mainstream medias, but what is wrong with carring over a national war veteran?
Maybe they are but the lack of respect you have for a good person says a lot about you.
@ThatUndeadLegacy You just said he was a useless old fart
Fuck liberals
@ThatUndeadLegacy You literally said " useless old fart" How fucking stupid are you?
This is what Heros look like
I've just lost my grandad..a veteran of the Korean war.he was so humble. He went to war and did his job, he came home to England back in 1954 and loved his wife unconditionally until she passed away. These people can't be forgotten 🙌
God bless those men who fought for our country in world war 2

@ThatUndeadLegacy That's not what WWII was about.
ThatUndeadLegacy
Dumbass, they didn’t die for the Jews, they may have died trying to liberate them but it was mainly about dying for there country
@ThatUndeadLegacy What's funny is that you wouldn't get to be ungrateful if it weren't for them.
@@bobjones1432 it's funny how he wouldn't do shit if he had to go he'd probably be the first one dead, he doesn't show any respect
They were called "The Greatest Generation" for a reason. We all owe them a debt of gratitude and not many are left. I'd like to now say Thank You for your service and may God Bless each and everyone of you.
Damn right. Bravery not found today.
The difference between these brave folks and this current generation of America hating Antifa only cements the fact that were not long for this world. If these guys could have looked ahead and seen what they were fighting for they would have thrown up their hands and surrendered.
@@tumbleweedking5668 i so agree. these wwII vets fighting nazis would be so sad today to see that america hates anti fascists. it breaks my heart.
@@Victoria-rw1qx it's not that it's the fact that ANTIFA are acting like the people they're against, silencing opinions and all that shit.
@@Victoria-rw1qx Also no I'm not fascist, I hate the nazis and I hate everything to do with them.
