Eddie Grant and Memorial Day 

The schools hate men like Eddie Grant. Him and the America he fought for. They are Marxist Swine

So very well put!!!🙏👍👻

.Some animals are more equal than others..

Absolutely 💯

Rest assured my Friend, I tell my 3 boys. I also tell them the liberal BS taught in school is often a Lie. Parents everywhere teach their kids the truth. We will not forget.

I agree. More stories of our WWI heros should be told.

Beautiful quote at the end. Thank you HG

I'm with you! Some have not forgotten, however generalized. ALL who died...

I never heard my grandfather talk about WWI. His younger son, I called him Dad, didn't talk very much about his service in WWII. I never heard my uncle talk about WWII, but Dad told me that my uncle was haunted by his experiences flying a torpedo plane from an aircraft carrier and wondering how many men he had killed, how hard it was to find his way back to the carrier at night under radio silence in the days before GPS and cellphones. And their cousin who got shot down, taken prisoner, the ship he was on when he was getting relocated got torpedoed and how he survived. Dad did say a little about being on a minesweeper clearing a path for landing craft on D Day. And picking up bodies in the English Channel. A mine being detonated setting off an acoustic mine closer to his ship. Mud, seaweed, bodies everywhere. I graduated high school in the early 70's. I have only one eye so I was not subject to the draft. But I knew a couple of guys that came home in a box. One was missing for over 30 years before he was buried, with honors. His parents were already dead when Danny's remains came home. My grandfather served in WWI in trenches in France. I never heard even one story of his experiences. Lots of veterans don't talk about war to civilians, we can never understand. War sucks. Being a veteran should be a prerequisite for being a politician. Better yet, no war, no need for veterans.

Thank you caring and for sharing

Thank you for sharing this story. It breaks my heart to think of all the fine young men who died because of war. I am so thankful for their sacrifice. They have helped create a safe country for our five young adult children to live in.

And I believed the SOB George Bush that Saddam had WMD - but he didn't. Bush should be tried for war crimes and for taking the life of the brave Private James.

For years I've told people that when looking at the pictures of dead bodies on a battlefield I see the ancestor of the person who was going to cure AIDS, or cancer, or create peace on earth, but none of that will happen because the person who was going to solve any one of those issues never got born because there lies their ancestor, their death forever stopping that from happening.

Saddam's large stock pile of Chemical Weapons, was actually taken across the border into Syria so they wouldn't be found. Do your homework, King Hussein of Jordan was his cousin, the weapons were there, and our Chemical Agent Alarms were going off constantly, it seems some Fighter Bomber actually bombed a cache of WMD and it went off. I and every soldier I know spent the night of January 17, 1991 in Mission Oriented Protective Posture IV. Longest I have ever been in a Gas mask. Sometimes I can still here those alarms going off: "Woop Woop Woop Gas!!! Gas!!! Gas!!!!" The President didn't take my soldier's life, it was another routine act of chance, but a very tragic act. I think in the hereafter nations will be held accountable for willful conflict.

A fitting tribute. Take solace in knowing that war is in our nature - that it is inevitable - and that it has, does and always will, take the best, the most worthy - those who take personal responsibility for ensuring the safety of their friends and family. The deaths of these boys and men (and increasingly girls and women) are a reminder of the fundamental truth of nature: that we are mortal and life is precarious and do must be cherished, not squandered on self-indulgence. Thank you for your service and for honouring your duty - to bring as many of your charges home as possible and to always remember the sacrifice of those you could not.

I love your comment. it's ok to cry. the men and women who gave all deserve every tear you shed on their behalf. really funny comment though. made me laugh out loud. we need soldiers like you in the human race to lighten our hearts when things seem overwhelming. have a good cry and keep us laughing my fellow American!

@@pearlzie9118 thanks. I love Americans, but I'm Canadian.

Yes, we have to remember. Hopefully people who lived during the wars were involved in, are being told to the youth of today. So many are unaware of what WW2, Korean war and the Vietnam War was for.. Even if don't believe in any of these wars, men fought and died, many of these men believed they were fighting for our country. They need to know: WW2 was about nazism and the two were about stopping communism. Many of our youth think communism is okay, but need to know men died because of communism and nazism.

Well stated.

Maybe someone should show this video to the current manager of the Giants.

Thanks for your service Shipmate. OS1(SW/AW) USN Retired here..

I am down with rual Wisconsin

You're welcome sir

@ B T Too bad there aren't more like him coming out of Harvard, too. Ability aside, can't imagine a recent Harvard graduate playing pro baseball rather than heading for Wall Street or a big name firm. Heck, too bad there aren't men period.

You can add Pat Tillman to the short list of true Americans who gave up their sports career and millions of dollars to serve and die for our country.

@@TheHistoryGuyChannel can you please reserch Eugene Gutierrez. He is a 100 Year old marine . That was in the devil's brigade.WW2 Still around and a walking history treasure....

@@TheHistoryGuyChannel 👍😃

In the movie the attempts by 2 pilots to help was shown, the 2 pilots will killed in the attempt and both received the Medal of Honor. Grant was in the relief force whose bravery in the siege story is overlooked which is why Grant's story (and many other just as deserving stories) are rarely told and are often forgotten.

Who was the author, please?

I thought the very same thing. Even more glad now that I am a lifelong Dodgers fan. ⚾ 😄

Some of both I would say. I honor his sacrifice, I mourn his loss.

@@TheHistoryGuyChannel Thank you (I guess) for making me look it up. Now I understand the OP’s question and your response. The Wife and I are taking flowers to the Cemetery on Friday.

@@TheHistoryGuyChannel Gratias tibi ago! :) You are a national treasure.
