    beautiful! My dad is 101 years old. He was a prisoner of war in Germany. After he was liberated he spent a year in the army hospital. He was sick and emaciated plus he'd lost the end of a couple of toes to frostbite. But he went on to live an amazing full life. I'm fortunate to have him and my mom still with me. They've been married 75 years.

      Wonderful! My father made it to 100 years, 2 months and 13 days and died 2 years ago. He was proud of his service. It’s sad, but my mother died in 1993. The first thing he said was after she died was that he had hoped they would have 10 more years together, but he had 30 years without her. They had 45 years together. Your parents and you are blessed.

    I sobbed when I watched this video. My father was a Marine, a bazooka carrier, in the Pacific Theater in WWII, and my mother was part of the first women's Coast Guard class. They are both gone now, and soon my generation will be also. PLEASE don't let your generation, and those who come after you, forget that that generation saved the world when they were in their early twenties. Thank you for such a beautiful remembrance.

He got home in 1946 ...7 years after he left home. They were indeed "the greatest generation"

I enlisted in the US Army in 1972, serving in Germany. After I completed my enlistment and returned home, my dad was willing to talk about his military service. He witnessed the horrors of war which affected him the rest of his life. After he retired from teaching he got involved with reunions with the unit he served with during the war at locations throughout the US. He passed away in 2005 with military honors.

    Lifein3D I just want to say you guys are "AWESOME"! What a touching, heartfelt tribute you have made. And thank you so very much for including my husbands father, William Harry Harrison Jr., in your beautiful tribute. Scott and I watched and were overcome with emotion. We both just sat on our sofa and wept. We have watched it numerous times and every time we are so moved. So grateful for all the men's and women's service and so grateful to be included in your beautiful offering of song. We love the thought that William Harry Harrison Jr. is now forever memorialized. And with that I would like to add some specific history about him:
    William Harry Harrison Jr. was a Staff Sargent 12th Marines. He served in the Marines from September of 1942 until January 1946. He was in Guadal Canal, Bougainville and Guam. He got malaria in Guam and was sent home to serve in Corpus Christi before he received his honorable discharge in January 1946. His unit went onto Iwo Jima so if it had not been for malaria, there is a good chance Scott wouldn't be here today.
    William Harry Harrison Jr. who went by, Harry, he was on the first day landings in Bougainville and Guam. He spent 56 days on the troop ship Crescent City waiting as a reserve troop for the invasion of Saipan. He received 3 Bronze Stars with the Asiatic Pacific Campaign metal. (His picture is the 2nd one shown in your video and William Harry Harrison Jr. is the 2nd man from the left 1st row)

      I knew a civilian carpenter captured in the first weeks of the war at Midway. More than three and a half years of slave labor and starvation. An underground coal mine. A couple other sites. At the end of the war a clay pit making bricks on Honshu. Looked like the Auschwitz survivors. I’ll leave out more. A few days after Hirohito’s surrender, parachutes from B-29’s. Food. He said it still made him angry when Americans said ‘I’m hungry’, when they mean ‘I’m not full’. I still try not to say it, though sometimes I do.
      M.K paid his family through the war. Widows after The War were offered jobs. The survivors were given jobs ‘as long as they could push a piece of paper from one side of the desk to the other’ the saying went. When he recovered, as much as he could he went back to work as a carpenter and a pile buck.
