In The Mood - Glenn Miller Classic 1940 - A Tribute To My Father A WW-2 Veteran.wmv descargar videos gratis
My father never talked much about his times in the servise but he made lite of the odd fact's that came his way. He was in a pool drawing held by the Local U.S.O. for a chance to escort Betty Grable to church & got to be one lucky Joe that Sunday. When he was going through bootcamp an other movie personality was making his secondround; who was it, well it was Stanley Clements. Dad had said he was a smart-ass & his tuff-guy cockey attitude got Stanley a lot of washing pot's & pan's on K-P on his second round in camp. You may remember Stanley from movies like "Going My Way" as one of the two kids that stole a Turkey & slapped the other kid a lot. Stanley was in some of The Dead-End Kids shorts & played mostly Gangsters types.

My ancestors served in Wehrmacht and Waffen SS during WW2. For example my great grandfather served in Luftwaffe as flakgunner and i am very proud for him because he defended German cities and civilians from allied bombing.6 years ago

Well done! Great tribute to the 'greatest generation'. My father was a tail-gunner on a B-25 Mitchell, flew 63 missions until they grounded him for nerves. I grew up hearing the stories and this era of music. I always liked it but couldn't admit it to my contemporaries of course, but now I'm too old to give a damn! In 2000 I had the opportunity to fly IN a B-25 which had been in Corsica where my father was stationed, and a very likely chance he actually flew in that very plane! Some of Doolittle's gang also had autographed it on the inside of the bomb bay. I was honored to take up the tail-gunners' position once we were airborne. Most of that generation is gone now, God bless them.7 years ago

My father was years in Europe and on the beach at D-Day. He had to come home, stepping over dead brothers and walking though mud and blood. But I would have never known that,.....There was laughter and goodness and kindness and humor at our dinner table,......But never bragging , hate, and dark stories. I did not know that stuff untill after he died and I went through his things and did the research.7 years ago

this kind of thing puts a tear in my eye, my grandfather, while he never was able to serve in WW2, he was able to join the Korean War. He sadly passed away 10 years ago and I miss him so much, It just makes me so sad that we are loosing an amazing generation of heroes who fought in a global two-front war. Their involvement to only become writings in books and no longer actual first person eye whiteness. Even sometimes I wish I could participate in such a war but it is not possible.7 years ago
