When I was in the Navy a small group of us were sent over to Portsmouth Naval Hospital to spend a little quality time with some older gentlemen, talk Navy stuff, and just listen to their stories. I sat with Franklin, a WWI vet. I wish I had asked him more relevant questions and been more attentive. He was sharp and had a great memory, but he wasn't able to communicate as quickly as his mind worked so there was a lot of double talking and effort. He was so animated and bright eyed when he spoke, like he was back in his youth and vibrant. This was in 1990, and he has been gone a long time. I hope someday someone takes the time to sit by my bed and listen to anything I may have to say. I was lucky to have been with him for that brief hour.

I walked through the aircraft carrier Hornet (CV-12) which is anchored at Alameda CA. One of the docents was an 82 year old named Ralph that was a tail gunner on an SBD Dive Bomber at The Battle of Midway. He said when their planes went into the dive to bomb the carriers they were so close together he could almost reach out and touch one of the other planes. It was incredible to hear someone who was there describe his experiences. There are about ten of us standing there listening and I could tell everyone else just thought he was a nice old man telling his worn out stories. I didn't, he was living history of one of the greatest battles the U.S. Navy ever fought and I was glad to listen.

Pretty soon we'll also see the passing of the last WW2 veterans. It's a bit crazy to think about, that the generations who experienced the world changing events which shaped and defined the modern world are going to be gone soon. God bless their souls

The eldest of the three brothers, James, was killed in August 1917. Just five days later, his younger brother Frederick was killed just miles apart from him. The youngest brother, Leonard, was wounded elsewhere and was on a hospital ship heading back to England. The Germans deliberately sank the ship and he was one of 29 killed. I can’t imagine my great, great grandmother getting the news that three of her boys were gone just like that. 😔❤️🇬🇧

My grandfather served as a Marine during WWI. My mother said he was such a gentle soul. He went through a lot and suffered from what we now know as PTSD. He eventually died of cancer on my mother’s wedding day. He was in the solidier’s hospital for veterans. On her wedding day she, my dad and the wedding party went to the hospital to fulfill his dying wish, to see his daughter in her wedding gown. She’s 91 and speaks of him often. Here’s his obituary. Local World War 1 Vet, Left 'Dead' On France Battle Field, Dies at 53 Raymond J. Crowe, 53 of Terrace Avenue, hero of World War 1 who was tagged as dead in the Argonne Forrest in France, died last Friday at the Soldiers Hospital in Chelsea. Mr. Crowe was a longshoreman and lived in Winthrop for 23 years. An honor guard of 20 marines from the Boston Navy Yard attended the funeral from the Kirby Funeral Home on Monday. He leaves his wife, Rita A. McCormack; three sons, Raymond J. Crowe Jr., Eugene F. and John Crowe; four daughters, Mrs. Edith M. Thomas of Stoneham, Mrs. Rita E. Gonsalves of East Boston and the Misses Delores A. and Rosemary Crowe, and two grandchildren. The Providence Evening Bulletin of Tuesday, December 17, 1918, carried the following story of Corp. Raymond J. Crowe. Corp. Raymond J. Crowe is not yet 21 years old, yet is a veteran of the Mexican border campaign and is one the seven survivors of the 66th. Co., First Battalion, Fifth Marines, A.E.F. Twice wounded, twice gassed, once shell shocked and finally left for dead for 36 hours in the Argonne Forrest, he was honorably discharged from the Marine Corps last month and has arrived at the home of parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank J. Crowe, 160 South Street in time to celebrate Christmas. With Pershing: "Corp Crowe enlisted March 7, 1917, in St. Louis, Mo. where he had been employed as a waiter. He went to France on the same boat with General Pershing. His record shows that he is an expert rifleman, having been a "sniper" overseas. He took part if the offensives at Bois de Belleau, Bouresches, Chateau Thierry, St. Michael, Thiacourt and the Argonne Forrest. "At Chateau Thierry he was wounded in the neck. At St. Michael a bullet pierced his gas mask and he was slightly affected by the poison vapors. During the same engagement a bullet shattered his ankle. "While on a special mission in the Argonne he lost his gas mask, was shell shocked and badly gassed. Left day and half: "His body was tagged as dead and for a day and half he lay on the field. Corp. Crowe was eight months in a hospital recovering from this experience. He then served for a time in the Rhine patrol, with the Army of Occupation at the Benz. On account of his weakened condition he suffered a relapse and contracted diphtheria. He was sent home following recovery arriving in the United States November 21 and was discharged December 25.

I'm french and both of my great grandfathers fought during that war. One of them was in Verdun. He was injured due to endless exposure to rain, cold and mud plus bad equipment, he developed gangrene on both feet, as a result some parts were amputed.Handicaped, He was sent back to his home farm in south west of France by the end of 1916. He was awarded the "croix de guerre" + numbers of "citations". Although he lived relatively long after that, he had to go through his physical pain ( and mental pain as a veteran soldier) for the rest lf his life, while aging those scars got some complications that eventually lead to his death around the 60's. My mum who knew him when she was a child told me he was a very bitter man, bad tempered and authoritarian, with his large shoulders people litteraly feared him. he was still hating the enemy and used to keep his watch and all the clocks at his home set on a different hour until his death ( every year french "winter time" hour is synched with german hour since 2nd war, we set one hour back, but he never ever adjusted his winter time). He even called his farm "Verdun" that people going around his village would not forget.

He would be sitting calmly in church or the small cafe in town. He would suddenly stand up and start shouting things like "all up and forward, dress it up" and other seemingly nonsensical things. It was only later that I discovered he was a highly decorated soldier from "The Great War" who had suffered for decades from what was known as shell shock. He lived alone and had no friends that I was aware of. He led a life of desperate solitude but always dressed immaculately and a wrinkle would not dare to appear on his clothes. I can not imagine the horrors he lived through.

He was a "Sturmjäger" which was the jäger equivalent of the sturmtruppen. He never spoke about his experiences in the war. I met him once as a child. Looking back on it I can tell what the war did to him. He barely spoke at all and for periods of time he would just stare at the wall. I still have his officer soft cap, helmet, and uniform

Every year for Armistice/Veteran’s Day we would have a dedication to the men and women who served our country at my school, I was in band at the time and got a front row seat of the projector they had set up with pictures of the veterans that came. There were loads of Gulf War, Iraq/Afghanistan, Vietnam vets with a few Korea and WWII vets and then in the very back an extremely older gentleman came through the door in a wheelchair. He wore a black jacket that said AEF at the top and WWI on the bottom. I thought maybe he was a WWII veteran and one of the 1s just fell off the jacket with age but I was mistaken. They put up his name and picture on the projector one taken right after he got out of basic training and one of him after he got back home in his dress uniform. We got a minute to talk to everyone and of course he was the star of the show, veterans and civilians alike were shaking his hand and asking him questions. He was still sharp as a tack and was telling us how he was only 16 and got his dad to lie for him about his age, he went to France around August and was there on November 11 when the fighting stopped. The next year he wasn’t there and though I didn’t get to speak to him personally I was mesmerized by this man and what he went through in those short 4 months he was there. I’m sure to him those 4 months felt like an eternity but I can’t imagine how the German, French, and English men who were there for the full 4 years felt. I hope future generations hold them in just as high of regard as we do.

My (French) grandfather served in both WWI and WWII ... as a doctor. He was born in 1895 and joined the army in 1917 as a doctor in training, was injured twice including being gassed at the end of the war and losing a lung in the process. He was sent then back home. He volunteered for the second one, despite his age, and managed to be in charge of a hospital train. When the germans attacked, he said the train was half the time on the front line as the French army was retreating at full speed. He then came back home (in Normandy) and found a German doctor officer occupying his house, and they both run the local hospital until the end of the war. He joined the resistance short after but that's another story. He was made Officier de la Legion d'Honneur (among other things).

I'm 61 years old now, as a kid of maybe 13 or 14 I used to hang with a buddy that lived in my Chicago neighborhood (side note: that buddy would die in the Marine barracks explosion in Beirut in 83) and went to Jr High with me. I well remember that his grandad lived with him. The old guy was ancient to a 13 yr old and had really bad hearing, so everything he said was in a yell. My friend, Jim, always said he lost his hearing from the explosions in WW1. On the walls in the living room, my friend's mom had put her father's framed medals and all on the wall. Anyway, he was a crazy and grouchy old bastard and would always look at me and yell things, questions to my friend and stuff about me, all stuff I couldn't understand at all, but for some reason my buddy did. One time I remember, after staying the night with my buddy, in the kitchen in the morning, the old guy yells to Jimmy, "IS THIS GUY A BORDER NOW?" Jim starts laughing .... I say "what did he say?" and my buddy tells me so we both laugh. Then as the old fells was leaving the room, he yells, obviously referring to my blonde hair and blue eyes at the time, " HE LOOKS LIKE A GODDAMN HESSIAN!" I look at Jim: "What did he say?" Jim shrugs and says I think he said you look like a Hushen. But the first time I learned the word for the Germans, I knew exactly what he'd said. LOL. Wish I had the heart and sense then that I hope I have now, I would have sat and talked his ear off.

Out of every single person you see in this video, not a single one of them are still breathing.. in their time they had small day to day problems, worries. They were all children and laughed and loved and they had mothers and fathers that carried them so carefully and loved them so very much. Most of them dreamed of meeting their dream girl and falling in love, leaving this demonic war and going to a good job or farm, raising kids and living their lives with peace and happiness.. some of them did, a lot never did, but now, today, none of their troubles mean a thing, their all completely gone like a cloud going over, vanished.. this is something I continually struggle with, it’s beyond saddening. To see them marching, smiling in the prime of their life with their heads held so very high, so proud and happy to be surrounded by friends, just like a photograph, once so clear, now old and faded.. to people who think this life is the end, I pray you are wrong, surely we can’t just be done…

My great-grandfather was 17 when he was deployed to Ferme du Bois. According to my grandmother he was shot in the arm one night during trench patrol and was hospitalised for 6 months. Fortunately he was absent in the Battle of La Lys due to such wounds. La Lys saw the biggest amount of Portuguese casualties in the Great War, so he was rather fortunate at the time. After the war ended and he returned to Portugal, no one (alledgedly) cheered for the soldiers, merely watched. He would persist with his military career, eventually becoming a colonel. He could also allegedly no-scope a chicken from one end to the farm to another. He passed away in the mid 70´s (I believe) under relatively normal circumstances, so I was exceedingly far off from ever meeting him, but he seemed like a pretty epic guy in spite of his past traumas. His sons would engage in combat in the Portuguese Colonial War (which essentially lead a whole generation into conflict). All of them would similarly be injured, but none would perish. Lucky guys.

I also have hanging on my wall, his M1 Army-issued 1917 L F & C Trench Knife with a wooden handle surrounded by brass knuckles and a long bayonet. After the war was over, he was granted American citizenship.

No GOD. We all are Energy and if you can concentrate hard with your mind you can become spiritual enough to move objects and even lift up your body in air. Ancient people did that. If they can keep secrets by not telling to Jewish people facts and fed those lies that they are moving them to work somewhere else. They can keep their own secrets of escape plan. Those who have worked in war as soldiers they are trained that way. Hitler was a commando. Those conscripted may evade service, sometimes by leaving the country, and seeking asylum in another country. That is why many Muslim countries asylum came to America, or went to different countries. Himmler was using Hitlers Name to portrait Hitler for those crime which actually was Himmler's deed. Certain documents were saved to prove that it was Himmler's signatures where found and NO EVIDANCE AGAINST HITLER WERE FOUND. I remember George Bush, out of blue moon attacked on Sandam Hussain and invade their country with an armed force. While people said that he had a carpet of Bush face which he was stepping on and entering in his office. Which Bush did not like. George Bush is living till this date and he is not considered as a criminal. Secret Service protecting U.S. political leaders, and their families. That is not true Hitler wanted to do good for Germany. Hitler expanded his German territory to almost whole of Europe by 1939-42 But his own people and some Jewish people betray him and many people were tired of war since long. Plus his Army many were fighting since long time and his army reduced a lot so they had to bring troops from Africa, Philippines, etc...His mistake was to attack on Hawaii and made USA by force to enter WW-II. This ultimately made him loose. The law of war is who so ever is not supporting the country where they are leaving and go against it, becomes enemies of that country. In this case Jewish were leaving in Germany they should be loyal and patriotic to the country which gives them lively hood. When opposite party troops are caught in wars are considered as POW. And Civilians who are not faithful to their own country are also POW. Hello My POST is based on that time of the era News Papers and some research of mine. Hitler was a fighter and that is why he had many nick name " Fuehrer" and his title was Chancellor of the German Reich. He never attempt to do suicide so HOW can you say that his personality was like a suicides' - As if you knew him personally. My post is without any assumptions and opinions or advice of mine. He was portrait wrong by many of his close circle. I can see that it is possible. Because in general people do not discuss the fact they only discuss their personal opinions and wrong assumptions of theirs which carries out and it becomes big and general public starts taking laws in their hands. and blames Hitler. Jewish people must have hated him and that is why they must have given him wrong accusations. WATCH Video about - " Rise and Fall of the Third Reich | Full Movie " on youtube.. They have never found any documents where Hitler is giving Those Cruel or extreme Orders. NO EVIDANCE FOUND. Hitler own quotes " IF YOU TELL A BIG ENOUGH LIE AND TELL FREQUENTLY ENOUGH, IT WILL BE BELIVED." Which means his death lies were told for many years and people now believed it. Since long now he is dead of old age, Now it does not matter if the truth comes out. But they will not because Politician will never be believed. IF I tell you that "you are half-witted” that would be assumption on you without knowing you or my Opinion imposing on you. But when you call that it is an opinion = "Hitler was a fighter". It is not an Opinion. Fighter = means here warier. He wanted his own Germany to win. Even now when you travel around Europe they have Jewish, Muslim, and Christian quarters ever since 17th century or even prior to that. And I know what Fuhrer means a Leader. But He was loyal to his country. That is why till this date Muslim countries are still fighting. Look at few years ago Jerusalem, Palestine, Israel still has things going on. Recently I remember Few Years ago Trump said publicly that call " your country Palestine" and over their people started fighting and took out weapons against each other. It is still happening. Stupid people are existing. If you do not know the deepest history - there were many cruel officers such as Himmler, Amon Goeth and many more carried out a cynical manipulation of Hitler 's commands. Even Germans were wearing bands of swastikas' and if Jewish were asked to wear "David's Star" nothing wrong in it. But Jewish did not want to fight for Germany then in that case they become POW. That is the "Law of War". But that does not mean that civilians should also to be mistreated. NO, many wrong things were carried out in a very wrong way against them. So when you write all Germans what they did during that time is an assumption. Everywhere in the world there are some Good and Bad people exist. Bad are so evil that those who are good and wants to do good they are either killed them and or silent them [going on since long Jesus being killed by Jewish. ] Till today people tend to follow lies faster than facts.

The Grateful Dead did a mournful song, “Terrapin Station” where the soldiers boarded trains being sent to the front.
