Rest in paradise to these two Pacific Warriors.

Papa Eric Henry. He told me all his stories. I'd sit there and listen all day. Moe mai ra papa.

Waiting for big time kiwi Hollywood film directors like Taika to take the time to make films about the stories of real superheroes like these two men.

My great great grandpa was in WW1 from the Pacific island of Tonga. I don't agree knowing how and what these wars represented. But I give my respect to these brave men and woman that put there lives on the line.

My dad would tell me stories of my great grandfather who fought during World War 2 he would tell me stories about Samoan soilders fighting along side the Maori battalion and other palagi countries in Africa Italian and pacific campaigns my dad would also tell me that when he was young he could see is bullet wounds around his legs and on his arms from a Jappense machine gun my dad would also tell me and siblings how scary he was🤣🤣to bad when him and his other Samoan soilders returned back to Samoa he turned into a full blown alcoholic and died from very bad liver damage rest in peace great grandpa thank you for your service wish I got to meet you🇼🇸🇼🇸🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
