I am in tears over this video. It really touched my heart as my Father and his 2 brothers all served in WWII. My Uncle was a POW in Germany. I'm so thankful that this family got this opportunity to travel where their Husband and Father once served and to receive such an amazing treasure !!
My precious father was shipped from a small town called Jefferson, Iowa to the South Pacific out of high school. He ended up in the Battle of Leyte Gulf in the Philippines. He suppressed all his memories for 50 years until they all came flooding back when he visited the Philippines in 1995. I miss you so much PaPa.
My uncle was with the Saskatoon Light Infantry near Regalbuto on August 4 and was wounded but remained on duty. He received the military medal for gallenty. He was one of the lucky ones to come home. Did he suffer trauma, most definitely. They were brave young men
I found a letter in my Mother's things after she died it was a letter that a young man had wrote to her just days after the war ended. I tracked down his family and finally got in touch with one of his daughters. I sent her the letter and a picture of him. 🙂
This is absolutely beautiful.! You are wonderful people ! 😍 "The true soldier fights not because he hates what's in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him." G.K. Chesterton.
This saddens my heart all the lives in the death and wounded even after the war I'm French and I wouldn't have been born if it hadn't been for each one of you thank you for your services I live in America now and I would take a bullet for it I mean that wholeheartedly grateful for your services
I am a Vietnam War Veteran 1966-67 who as some wrote their names and wars that we were in under the butt stock plate of our rifles. I think that started in WW1 but not sure...
Very touching video. My uncle was a low country SC boy thrust onto Guadalcanal He saw things nobody ever should and also suffered PTSD till his death 😢

@@kylegawron5358 Are you on Ancestry? Start by grouping your highest DNA matches into colour coded groups as provided by Ancestry. Start with the ones you know for sure and then look at your shared matches. I use blues and greens for my paternal side and reds and yellows for my maternal side so it's easy to see at a glance. If you have a paid membership you can look at the trees of your matches and see where they fit in.
Hello Kyle! Thanks for exploring your family history on Ancestry. We're sorry to hear of any confusion and will be happy to provide some assistance.

Begin by adding any information you already have, or can gather from family members. The articles below should help you get started: Getting Started, Lesson 1: Starting Your Tree: support.ancestry.com/s/article/Getting-Started-Lesson-1-Starting-Your-Tree Getting Started, Lesson 2: Building Your Tree: support.ancestry.com/s/article/Getting-Started-Lesson-2-Building-Your-Tree Linking an AncestryDNA® Test to a Tree: support.ancestry.com/s/article/Linking-an-AncestryDNA-Test-to-a-Tree When the foundation of your tree is set up you can begin to look for more information across historical records and public family trees.

They didn't need ancestry they had his regiment number on his tag you can go to the Canadian archives enter it and the number only gets issued once every 20 or 30 years so they are very few people who have had it and it is clear who you are looking for
