You know I live in a city that's known as a purple heart city in Texas because of how many veterans and disabled veterans we have throughout all the wars here when I was young you saw World War II vets everywhere and I think I might have saw one and like the past year or two and I think the oldest that I found in my town resebtly is Korean War now and there's just a handful of them around my town now is getting harder to find the Vietnam ones as well. My step-dad served as part of the naval blockade outside of Cuba and then served a tour in Vietnam and he's turning 80 in a year or two and he joined when he was 18 or 19 years old.
Vincent J. Speranza has sadly passed away on August 2, 2023. As a Dutch person I want to pay my most utter respect to this man who risked his live to free our nation and our continent. May god guide you to the stars Private.
My seriously respect for that man, he with millions of man like him save the world, they did what nobody wants to do, his generation save the world and sadly my generation is destabilizing and crumbling it, his generation save the world, thank to they we have the opportunity to born and i’ll never forget them as long as i live, sadly i never had the opportunity to meet a World War II Veteran, but if i had it I’ll thank them, in nowadays is so hard to find a WW2 Veteran and it disappoint me that every single Veteran would not gonna live at the end of this decade, so it’s now or never Rest in Peace our hero Vincent Speranza
It brings tears to my eyes to know these guy, and gals of the greatest generation will soon be gone. I wish I could have the kids today understand why they did what they did.
The kids today will never know.... they dont teach abt WWII anymore... kids today will never know what men and women had to sacrifice to keep this country free and great. Kids today just dont care... except abt themselves ... no respect like we had growing up. When i see a vet i thank him or her for their service to this great country... i will always thank them.
@@digowigo5512 my nephew didnt learn about WWII on school. ... so im guessing it is the United States. I wish they would teach about it so that they could learn how this country came together along with you in the U.K. and other countries to defeat the nazi regime of a lunatic . If you are a veteran i thank you for your service to your country.
@@Walter6078 In Poland we do learn about WWII too but when i went on student exchange to Iowa i NEVER learned anything about WWII, from my opinion they want to make people dumb like they putting worthless politics arguments instead of true sciene so people cannot think by themselves.
@@andrewcrum5785 when I went to school many many many years ago we spent abt 3to4 wks on WWII.... we also studied every war that the US was in.... im only going on what my nephew told me when he graduated a cpl yrs ago. It might just be this area... but from the guy who said he went to school in Iowa it sounds like its all over
The song was made by the US for the paratroopers, it obviously was added to through the years but it’s still a song that, despite the lyrics, is rather motivational, he has watched that song, just like this country, grow old, change, be on the verge of collapse and bounce back over and over, but to keep spirits up he still shows up to graduations and sings that song with the troops, with just as much heart as did then, sure his hair is grey and some of them aren’t here anymore, but just like this country, he will endure

Germans: Sing about their fiancé waiting for them back home Japanese: Sing about the glory of the Emperor and Empire Americans: Take a classic American song about going on a crusade for freedom and make it about dying in the most gruesome way possible instead Yeah I'm not sure if it was just U.S. industry that gave us the edge...
It was mostly the industry and economy. Most of Americans were anti-war, but fierce propaganda campaigns against the Germans and Japanese changed the rhetoric. Hell, they were staunchly isolationist for most of the time, it was the booming economy that really changed peoples minds about war. The americans weren't particularly brave in any fashion, actually the british forces mostly refered to them as wasteful and ignorant; which makes sense coming from a country that had just been bombed for the past 2-3 years with an industry that was lacking in comparison to the american one.
In the Vietnam era it was "And it's one, two, three, What are we fighting for ? Don't ask me, I don't give a damn, Next stop is Vietnam. And it's five, six, seven, Open up the pearly gates, Well there ain't no time to wonder why Whoopee! we're all gonna die!" by Country Joe and the Fish.
That wry British wit went a long ways down the road. Stiff upper lip and all that. I think if you go off to war you take a little gallows humor with you. That or go off the deep end.
I just took my phone from my 11 year old son and this is what he was watching/singing. He’s a military/war enthusiast and wants to serve his country so bad. 🇺🇸
The world right now seems to and our own people seem to talk bad on Americans and America but we need to realize how much these people sacrificed to make a whole lot of other people free God bless them there's not too many of them left
There was a lot more done by other people in both WW1 and WW2 thank you think, I mean look at the Australian guys, they barely get any recognition for what they endured and what they achieved.
There's alot more people that died for great things other then Americans. Also, are people incapable of realizing the failures of containment and Vietnam as a whole? I've asked alot of americans, and they just act like it's a "woopsie! My bad" moment.
or how they 'freed the Germans' two times? You destroyed our continent and cultures, that is what you did. Once you know the full story you gonna throw up.
I have probably watched this millions of times because just the way he sings it. It’s like he’s telling a story and I feel like that’s the way it’s supposed to be sung
Same, my grandfather served in the marines in the pacific, passed a few years ago at 93. Hell of a generation. I spent 8 years living with him and soaking up his life stories.
He sings and tears in his eyes and only he knows what he witnessed and how many friends he lost but what they did is enormous for everyone.Glad and thanks to the heroes risk their lives for the sake of the world from the pacific Islands Micronesia.
Well, we have nuclear bombs and nuclear deterents so thats why we are getting softer and softer. the great generation has created something so powerful that we still rely on it
Speranza (March 23, 1925 - August 2, 2023) was an American private who served in the United States Army during World War II. New York City, U.S. Springfield, Illinois, U.S. Born in New York City, Speranza grew up on Staten Island with a large Italian family during the Great Depression R.I.P
As a future British paratrooper and a current British army cadet I say thank yo u for your survice well done and by God wasn't this man a brilliant trooper you can already tell
I have waited months to say this on this day. I thank all for those who served and those who died in uniform defending their country. You are all what have made this country great.
this is american history being sang folks these are marching songs of the past from our Veterans that sacrificed so much for us to have ungrateful children an anti patriotic generation. we should know our past this is amazing to see on youtube
I hate to be that guy ... But the modern american war have only brought destruction and misery to people Libya the middle East vietnam .... They were shitty war that portrayed in the eyes of the whole world that you are the invading force that you are the bad guys and now see Russia and China a better nation then america the majority of people now see america as a wallet no more so yeah shity wars that doesn't need to be only create ungrateful children ... Correct me if I am wrong .
I would like to say I had the honor and privilege of sitting in my grandmas little coffee shop as a kid every day after school with a group of WW2 veterans just listening. An amazing generation.
As a grandchild of 101st airborne veteran from Korea. I am very proud to have the veterans sharing their stories. Sadly may or stupid youth learn from their example honor integrity doing one’s job in the most extreme circumstances. One grandfather World War II one grandfather Korea🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I joined the marine corps about a year ago, sometimes i feel unmotivated and don't feel like getting out of bed, whenever I listen to stuff like this it always reignited that flame that I had coming right out of boot camp.
My grandad fought in ww2 as a pilot in England. He was a pilot. In the RAF. His plane was shot down after many battles he survived. For obvious reasons he never talked about the war but he went to hell and back and passed away in a hospital bed with family around him a few years ago ♥️
Not a soldier, still the best damned song I've ever heard.you can just feel the reality it comes from. These men deserve every once of respect we can muster.
You can tell he is looking back at all the fun memories he had during the war cuz of the tiers in his eyes😔thx to all the ww2 vets not just American but Canadian,British,Russian,and many more for your service to the world🕊fly high🕊
Came here from tiktok. I love that this is the same guy who snuck outta the nursing home to do the special Normandy jump for the 70th ww2 anniversary memorial day. He is still kicking too.
As a true and proud Flemish man, I love this, what happens here in Belgium and the Netherlands was horrible, how the Germans treat us, they tore families apart, destroyed whole villages, including my father house, the Americans saved my fathers life, Belgium and the United States of America will always stand united 🇧🇪🇺🇸
I experience secondhand embarrassment for America, they’re behaviour towards history is disappointing: Nazis hehehe funni, Shuddup boomer For a Chinese person it’s weird how ur on YT(insert sinophobic comments and BS about CCP’s crimes)
I heard this for the first time during jump school at Fort Bragg in August 1985. It was a lot funnier after I successfully completed jump school in one piece!
Those teared up eyes hold the story of a great generation that gave hell for our country, I have nothing but respect for these vets and families and can only hope I will one day do good by their sacrifices.
Ah, a inigualável MÍSTICA pára-quedista! Se em tempos de paz causa arrepios no mais duro dos homens, imagine o que não faz na alma desse velho Soldado, calejado pelas agruras do combate... "Enquanto houver nos Céus a silhueta de um pára-quedista, SEMPRE haverá esperança de vitória!" 🦅 🇧🇷 👊🏼
They don't call them "The Greatest Generation" for nothing. God Bless! Great voice, too.
Born during the first war, fighting in the second. Those who earn freedom never see it, and those who see freedom never earn it.

🇺🇸🤝🇬🇧
We couldn't do it without our cousins across the pond. Til Valhal!
Hope this man had a good life, hope there’s love in his heart, true friends in his life and a roof over his head.
he crying of happiness knowing he was among of his best men in his life
That's one hell of a good song to sang right there during those years my great great grandfather sang that when he went in
Rest in peace Vince. Thank you for your services.
You can tell he is looking back at all the fun memories he had during the war cuz of the tiers in his eyes😔thx to all the ww2 vets not just American but Canadian,British,Russian,and many more for your service to the world🕊fly high🕊
Yeah… “fun”…
i could easily watch this a hundred times. never gets old
Came here from tiktok. I love that this is the same guy who snuck outta the nursing home to do the special Normandy jump for the 70th ww2 anniversary memorial day.
He is still kicking too.
This gives me chills
As a true and proud Flemish man, I love this, what happens here in Belgium and the Netherlands was horrible, how the Germans treat us, they tore families apart, destroyed whole villages, including my father house, the Americans saved my fathers life, Belgium and the United States of America will always stand united 🇧🇪🇺🇸
Aren't French fries actually Belgium
@@HDilk yes
We have sadly lost his legend folks this now just a memory.
I really listen it from wrong i born 1992 and really love it and this man god bless him really have a great voice 😊😊😊
I honestly can't imagine how disappointed he is in my generation.
same so i'm joining the army they deserve so much more respect i dont get it how people say that they dont deserve a month
As shitty as our generation is today, it’s brave men like him who allowed us to be alive in the first place
Cringe kids bringing up gen z for no reason even tho this video has nothing to do with gen z stfu
@@fisher-zc2pf when
I experience secondhand embarrassment for America, they’re behaviour towards history is disappointing:
Nazis hehehe funni, Shuddup boomer
For a Chinese person it’s weird how ur on YT(insert sinophobic comments and BS about CCP’s crimes)
I heard this for the first time during jump school at Fort Bragg in August 1985. It was a lot funnier after I successfully completed jump school in one piece!
The second he takes a seat, he looks like he re-aged 50 years, the youth elicited from the song is real
That man’s a literal super hero. RIP sir
This man has morale I’m sure he kept his brothers and sisters safe and happy out there. God bless the greatest generation.
Those teared up eyes hold the story of a great generation that gave hell for our country, I have nothing but respect for these vets and families and can only hope I will one day do good by their sacrifices.
My grandfather was a WWII vet and I went to Afghanistan and Syria. This man spoke to me
A king amongst men. An honest, brave, and fearless veteran. Someone we can all strive to be as great as.
What a Legend! RIP, sir!
Excelente video, respeto a aquellos que estuvieron antes que nosotros y como nosotros vivieron tiempos difíciles, héroes
God bless this man I am sad to say that this mad passed away on August 2nd 2023. Rest in Pease to this real hero
I would give anything to meet this man. I could listen to his stories all day.
God bless and protect all our veterans, may their warrior hearts remain strong, may they be awaited in Valhalla/Heaven/Paradise.
The guy in back who says "OHHH" makes it better
Thank you for your service 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
J'adore cet musique je l'écoute presque tout le temps je vais peut la mettre en sonnerie de tel tellement c'est magnifique 😍
Ah, a inigualável MÍSTICA pára-quedista! Se em tempos de paz causa arrepios no mais duro dos homens, imagine o que não faz na alma desse velho Soldado, calejado pelas agruras do combate...
"Enquanto houver nos Céus a silhueta de um pára-quedista, SEMPRE haverá esperança de vitória!" 🦅 🇧🇷 👊🏼
