My dad was 2weeks short of 91, he told me that he was so sad because all his friends that he cared about had gone own in and he could not wait to join them. He died after my mom, 1 month after he died my older brother died and 1 month after my brother died I had a aunt die and 1 month after she died my middle son 26 died so I know that it can get bad. But there is always hope.

If you knew the reality, you'd have been thankful for it. Almost every major threat to humanity, then and today, was a creation of those who commanded those they fought. Other than whatever comes from outer space. It is their doctrine that all Gentiles must go extinct and erased from all history and memory. These are the people who own the banks, schools, medicine, food, governments and news of those who won. London is their property, the Crown is below them in command.

He talks like a man who is waiting for the grim reaper, and he keeps getting passed by and doesn't know why,. And when he stumbles and starts stuttering when he speaks of all his buddies and how he feels blessed. But he knows it can't last forever, and who knows, maybe he was a volunteer one day, and given something to drink or swallow., So he did, and now he is a super soldier, and he is still in the shape of a young recruit, but his body ages slower. Who knows for sure. God bless you sir.

im glad i read your comment!! hate people using words like 'Blessed', it isn't the right word. Hes carried a horrific weight around him all his life. Poor man deserves better just like his comrades and their opposition who lost millions too. Decisions of 2 or 3 psychopaths impact the lives of millions of people. Blessed is a cliche of a word. I just hope day to day he lives a happy contented life. And i hope he gets hugs when he needs them peace and love

Why should I remember this man's stories? Like, I really want to get in the head of an American who worships the ground their vets walk on so I can understand a little better. Remembering that the man that was next to him is dead doesn't help me at all. Remembering that he was in a specific city does nothing for me. Should we not remember the stories of the generals and leaders? After all, they were responsible for the war and it's outcome. They were the ones who sent people to die, the ones who decided who was saved today and who'd be saved tomorrow, the ones that had to work with foreign diplomats to alter the front, etc... I'm not saying soldiers didn't contribute, but they didn't decide anything beyond if they lived through that day. Their perspective won't prevent future wars. I don't remember every story of the bricklayer that bricked my house, but I still can look over the blueprints the architect and engineers left behind. I'm sure building the house wasn't an easy task, and I thank the bricklayer for his work, but I needed his hands, not his memories.
