Veteran's never get the respect they deserve.
No one gets the respect they should, sadly
I’m losing brain cells just reading this comment thread
@Peanut Butter wait "anti veteran hate" what's wrong with that? Isn't it like saying "stop veteran hate?"
bunnywavy xx no that’s hating veterans
Yes they do
I was injured in 2003 in Afghanistan by an IED blast. I sustained a traumatic brain injury, severe PTSD and spinal issues. I'm not bitter at all. I'd do it all over again for all of you. I had to seek mental help and I worked on it extensively for the last few years.
Happy Veterans Day. Some of us are still fighting a silent war. Some are still in combat. Think of them. Think of us.
I have deep honor and reverence for men like you. Thank you for your sacrifices so we can all sit here on our keyboards, cameras and microphones to praise, or disrespect the flag and have the right to do either. Thank you for all of them no matter how big or small they are. I can't begin to imagine the hell you have endured in the name of service and sacrifice, and i understand that i cannot do anything but express my sympathy in that regard. When i was a boy, i wanted to join the military as i come from a family of seamen on my father's side, i have heard plenty of stories, sometimes hilarious, sometimes terrifying and sometimes both, but i was unable to go due to getting very sick later in life. Regardless, thank you for keeping our lives out of the hands of people who wish us harm and death, godspeed Mr. Sparx.
Our sincere gratitude and love to you
Now I feel more enraged about people in my school not standing up for the pledge
God Bless you forever. ❤️❤️💞💞
Jonny Sparx thank you for your service
Starting at 2:10 you can see a veteran in a red jacket with "Semper FI" written on it. That man is a marine from WWII that served during the Battle of Iwo Jima. I had the honor of meeting this man three times, he told me how he was part of the battalion that planted the flag on Mt. Suribachi, but was out of the camera frame himself. He witnessed a man get killed by a Japanese sniper right in front of him, kamikaze planes diving at his fleet while American planes intercepted them and a hellscape no man had ever seen before. But yet after the war he became a missionary in the South Pacific bringing the word of Jesus to those who never heard of him. I am not worthy of meeting such a legendary man.
We should all be so lucky to meet and talk with MEN such as that.

I know God would disagree with me, but when I watch these film shorts, I feel so insignificant and small.
@Person11068 yea, I suppose. It's all perspective.
Much love to all the veterans ❤👍

Your welcome
Hi
I have a great grandfather who fought in the Civil War, a Great great uncle who served in WW1 in the US Army, three uncle's who served in the USN in the Pacific during WW2, my dad served in the USN during Korea, I have two brothers who served in the US Army as helicopter crew chiefs , I have two nephews who are Army Rangers, who served in Afghanistan, and I am a retired USN MMC(SS). My family has served for over 100 years. Thank you for their service.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND ALL YOU HAVE SACRIFICED. GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU, I LOVE YOU ALL!!
Roann Sullen yes bless your family for all of the suffrage they went through to better this world ❤️🌎🌍🌏
@@alyssakapuniai-ryan2414 it's called suffering, not suffrage
I have a great uncle that served in WW2 as a paratrooper, he’s still alive today.
When I was in 6th grade, I had an assignment where I had to interview a veteran for Veteran's Day. I decided to interview the last living WWII veteran in my Grandparent's small town, and I'm glad I did. He's dead now, but I was lucky enough to be able to hear him tell his story while he still could. He drove an ambulance on the European front, and witnessed the liberation of the concentration camps firsthand. He even had an old WWII Jeep that he drove in the 4th of July parade. It was a great experience.
Happy Veterans Day!
It's Saturday not monday
Happy Centennial of the end of World War 1. Many thanks to those who have served.
Now we just have to wait 27 more years for the Centennial of the end of WW2.

As someone who's apart of the service today... learning about people who served before me is the most eye-opening and extremely inspiring thing. nothing makes me happier than to see people enjoy telling someone that's truly interested in what they love to talk about.
If it was the last century today on NOVEMBER 11 1918 world war 1 would have ended
I wanna say thanks to the veterans of my country
My grandma was just coming over from Sicily. Grandpa was already here. WW-1 stalled grandma's arrival slightly.

I'm currently in the Army, I have huge respect for those that came before me, I can't imagine the stuff you did that I will never even come close to. I'm honored to be able to follow in your name and I can't wait to go march in a parade this Monday to represent the hard-fought sailors, airmen, soldiers, coast guardsman and marines that have shared that legacy. Mad respect for you guys and happy Veteran's day. #HalfRightFace

To all who served,we thank you for making our country better,Happy Veterans Day!
My dad was a veteran of the Vietnam war and all he did was talk about his time in the service. But, more importantly he felt honored to serve his country and told us stories that was exciting and also heart breaking. We all have a story to tell and we give our VETS honor just by listening to them - they have earned that right.🗽
*This deserves way more attention.*
I'm not knowledgeable about these things. So all of this is hard fore me. The simplest things are forien to me .
What do you mea?
Yes it dose
As a Marine Veteran and a soon to be first time 44 year old dad, Im excited to have someone to tell my old war stories to for the next 18+ years. And I will continue to honor my fellow brothers by always leading by example, teaching my soon to be son to have courage, trust ,compassion, and to always set the example on what it is to be a good human. I have mixed emotions about what my real purpose had wrought during my time in, but I strongly believe the Military has made me a better human with tools to protect a noble way to try to live your life and one i will instill in my son.
My grandfather was at The Battle of the Bulge. He never talked about it. In 1983 I graduated Basic Training and had two weeks leave before I had to report to AIT. I went to upstate New York since my parents were visiting my grandfather and more family. Every morning I was religiously doing my PT and would run the mountain roads around my grandfather's house. One day I came back and he was sitting on the porch with two cups of coffee. We sat talking about what I wanted to do and then he began talking about Bastonge and he shed a good bit of tears. I had never seen him cry till that day. It made me appreciate all the men and women I would come to call my brothers and sisters for the next 25 years.
I want to thank my Dad, a humble guy from Paterson New Jersey for his service. He joined the day after Pearl Harbor. He wanted to go to the Europe but he was shipped out to Australia, then on to New Guinea. He alway talked about the men he served with. Not much about his time in New Guinea. I think of you Dad every day, and I thInk of all those men and women that have served and those that have given the ultimate sacrifice. I ALWAYS STAND FOR THE FLAG!! SO SHOULD EVERYONE ELSE!! GOD BLESS AMERICA AND GOD BLESS ALL ACTIVE MILITARY AND VETS FROM EVERY BRANCH OF SERVICE.
So rewarding. Thanks.
My Grandpa was born and raised in Paterson! He Enlisted in 1954 in the USAF and was a cryptologist stationed mostly in germany and then in alaska where he stayed and raised a family. He retired from the air force after 20 years and joined the postal service. He worked another 20 years, retired, and then joined the army corp of engineers as a civilian contractor at the fort richardson AFB in anchorage, alaska. The commute was 40 miles each way and he did it for 20 more years before retiring for good. He's like a father to me. Unfortunately he has parkinsons and the last 2 years have been especially rough but I have devoted myself to helping him. I'm grateful he never saw direct combat but there are still things he can't talk about today due to it being still classified.
Semper Fi, god bless the veterans Who is served our country and god bless America🇺🇸

Happyy veterans day thank you for serving us😃
My grandfather, who was 86, just passed away yesterday. He was a Korean war veteran and he used to tell me lots of stories about his time overseas guarding convoys, going on leave in Japan, and nearly getting run over by a supply truck. Although I am sad for his passing, I am also glad he is not suffering anymore from late stage Parkinson's and is in a better place. The Korean War is probably one of the most forgotten American-involved conflicts in the 20th century. Lest we forget the efforts of our unsung heroes in Korea who fought to keep America, Korea, and our allies from totalitarian subjugation. May their stories not be forgotten.
We need more people like that young man who is very passionate about preserving history and also remembering those who made history. I am very touched by his humble actions.
Happy Veterans days and, if there are any Veterans reading this, *Thank You for your service.*
Happy Veterans Day to all the brave heroes who risked their life for us we SHOULD respect you and pay you with appreciation
Touching film. Nice work Google.

Dear Grandpa, thank you for serving! My Grandpa's birthday is September 28, 1945. He died this year, October 3, 2018. I miss you so much Granpa popo. I'm trying my best for you, always. I didn't know a whole lot about my grandpa and the war and stuff but I'm just thankful for him making it out alive. For him seeing me grow up into his baby girl..I'm currently thirteen..Grandpa I love you, and I miss you so much.. R.I.P. Jose Munoz Jr ❤
This is an ad I will happily support along with its truest statement. All they really need is for us to listen. These brave men and women have put their lives on the line for us. The only thing that they're asking from us as Americans is to respect the flag that they faught under. To remember their fallen Brothers and Sisters in Arms. To love and support Vets with PTSD, and to give their voice a chance to be heard. They will always love the Nation they have served. They deserve their due respect from everyone. If anyone has it in their heart to burn the United States Flag, or give it a knee in disrespect, has either no brains or no heart in my opinion. It will be a happy day for my Country if and when those types would develope one or the other. Thats all I have to say about it. So today, on Veterns Day one Patriot says: Thank You for your sacrifce and service to securing our Freedom. We want to hear your stories.
East or west google is the best.... 👍👍👍👍✌✌✌
Sadly, this is the only good thing google has done for the past 2 years now.. sigh...

Growing up I loved to sit with my grandfather on the couch and listen to the stories of his deployment in the European theater of world war 2 and Korean war. I would give anything to have one sit down again.
Thank you for all who served and those currently serving.
And here we have battlefield v with totally inaccurate representation of ww2. I'm sure that for most kids this will be their first touch of that period of history, so it's sad to mislead them the way battlefield does. Most importantly it's not right for these legends in this video.

This guy only has 5k subscribers! That needs to change! Andy, much respect for bringing these stories to life through first hand accounts, our connection to the violence of WW2 has faded but the reverberations are still felt today and I know that these stories can go a long way by providing perspective on life during a conflict as massive as a world engulfed in war. Hope his channel receives much more recognition.
I don’t know much about my family and even if they have a history with the army (i think we do) but anyways there is no limit and number that can describe the amount of respect I have for veterans and the love. They are the reason we are called the land of the free! Have a happy VETERANS DAY ❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸

@@SSAlter Thank You! Some people do not respect our service members which I find horrible.
WW II veterans were supported by our society before, during, and after the war. Korea and Vietnam veterans were not supported before, during, and damn sure not after that war. When you see a video like this one honoring vets, you know for sure it will focus on WW II vets and ignore Korea-Viet vets.
D Storm we still got a couple of decades to do that. Ww2 vets are dying out real quick
Thank you to my grandfather and many others in my family and every other veteran out there for your service! We appreciate you so much and can sleep safely at night because of you!

Blasting players for taking a knee, but can't attend a ceremony because of rain? avoid the military draft many times? What's patriotic about that? He says his mind with no holding back -- which I know you guys love -- but USA is literally the laughing stock of the world right now.
You've heard the stereotype that Americans are dumb. He is reinforcing that, along with his crazy followers. Come on, you got neo-nazis, and KKK advocating him. America fought the nazis in WW2!! and he won't condemn them?? suddenly the nazis are our friends?? Are you sure that's respectful to the veterans?? Also all the crazy conspiracy theorists and the doctored videos and images they produce to condemn the other side. It's crazy how people fall for those things when they're obviously doctored.

Happy Veterans Day. My grandpa served in WW2 in the pacific theater. He was a US marine and fought in Iwo Jima and Okinawa. He was injured but lucky enough to survive.

That sounds like a great slogan, until you realize that war is inevitable: a country's best bet against complete annihilation by another bloodthirsty country seeking only selfish national gain is by having a strong military. Ironically having a superior military sometimes deters war. However due to human nature, there will always be conflicts that will eventually boil over at which point they can only be resolved through war. At least then there is a line which can be drawn at which point no more blood will be shed (theoretically).
Today's an amazing day honoring our veterans. Happy veterans day, thank you to everyone have served- you're amazing and loved.
