    Thank you for serving our country sir. My Father fought in The Battle of The Bulge, he was a Sergeant, his name~ Gerald Inman from Lansing, Michigan. He received the Purple Heart 💜 and was also a POW. He was a very good man and he was my best friend . He was there in 1944~45. He passed away in 1972 at age 52. I miss him very much and am very proud to be his Daughter.

      Died at the age of 52, for what he did at the Bulge he should have lived to be 100. Healthy.

      My dad fought in the Pacific in the Navy. The only Pic was when he was in Okinawa. He was a LCVP driver but he did not tell us of his war experience. He passed away in 1978 age 53, would have been 54 a week later, still miss him very much!!!

    I found John Robert Horvath's military records online. He did have 3 brothers that are all deceased, as well as his parents. It appears that in 1948 his remains were brought back to St. Louis for burial. He was in the Army a few days short of a year before being killed.. Sad indeed because it brought back memories of a friend of mine killed in Vietnam , two weeks before he was scheduled to come home.

    Claude Harwood you are one of the greatest generation. Thank you for defending freedom not only for America but for those countries under the boot of the nazi’s. Then you came home and served as a doctor taking care of people. My father was Army infantry in the Pacific campaigns. I also served in the Army four years. I still have my Father’s Ike Jacket and a lot of pictures etc. He has passed away. He did not speak about his experiences. I think a lot of WW II veterans did not when they came home. I understand that. I am thankful for these interviews happening now. I only wish the newer generations had an understanding about history. God bless you. Full respect and best wishes sent to you. 🤝🇺🇸

    With all due respect, I noticed if you set the speed of these vids at x1.5 speed, you can hear how these guys talked when they were 20. It works great with this true hero. This is how I prefer to listen to them talk. I think maybe they would prefer I listened like this also. It is astonishing how much aging affects your speaking speed.
