The War We Grew Up During
For those that paid the ultimate price for our country, a moment of reflection.....TAPS
Twenty-four notes. It's a simple melody, 150 years old, that can express our gratitude when words fail. Taps honors the men and women who have laid down their lives and paid the ultimate sacrifice for the cause of freedom. Fair winds and following seas, shipmates.
WW II
World War II was the deadliest military conflict in history in absolute terms of total dead, but not in terms of deaths relative to the world population[citation needed]. Over 60 million people were killed, which was over 3% of the 1939 world population (est. 2 billion).
The War That We Grew Up With
I was very young when the war ended, just 5 years old, but I remember the parade that ensued. It came
down the street where I lived and I remember standing on the curb and waving a small American flag.
there was an amphibious landing craft in the parade....at the time I thought it was a tank. I remember having to crush the tin cans and saving the strained fat for the war effort......Do you remember things like this?
World War II Documentary
Here is probably one of the best documentary films on WW II that I've seen in a long time. It is quite long, but worth the time to view..it covers the cause of WW II and is one of the most informative films I could find to show on my site.
WARNING: THIS FILM IS VERY GRAPHIC...VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED. NOT APPROPRIATE FOR YOUNG CHILDREN BECAUSE OF THE GRAPHIC NATURE OF THE FILM |

This is too much and really interesting. If you are a "history buff" you will be amazed. An incredible use of technology ~ like traveling back in time.
Left click and hold on each photo, then drag your mouse gently from left to right on the original photograph (1944) and it will become a photo of the exact same location and view today. Drag it back and you are back to 1944!

Victory at Sea is a documentary television series[1] about warfare in general during World War II, and naval warfare in particular, as well as the use of industry in warfare. It was originally broadcast by NBC in the USA in 1952–1953. I watched every original episode.

I hope that you enjoy each episode as much as I did when I saw the original programs on TV.....I was so inspired by this Documentary that when I graduated from high school I enlisted in the US Navy
FORTUNATELY FOR ME, I WAS TO YOUNG FOR WW II OR KOREA, SO I DID NOT SEE ANY COMBAT ACTION
