Both my grandpas fought in WW2. My parents said they never talked about it much, now that I'm older I know why. They fought on each side of the campaigns, one in IwoJima, the other was there at Omaha. My moms dad stayed in the army his whole life-till 1996 where he had a heart attack. I never knew my grandpas but I know at the age of 18 they went through hell. R.I.P. all fallen vets
@TheLostPredators Great jet, and a great man. May his friend and your granddad rest in peace when he passes. I myself had an uncle who fought in the war, sad to say he lost his life to cancer. He was a great man, but I just wish I had time to listen to his war stories.
how the hell can 26 people dislike this?....a Hymn to the fallen soldiers of WW2 its like going to their families and saying your sons are not heroes...f**king ideots
@XOshamelessXO They're just dumbasses who have no idea what real music sounds like, we should pity them, not hate them. If they wanna go and listen to.. whoever, they can lol.
It should have won best picture, but "Shakespeare In Love" did instead. COME ON... I mean Ben Affleck in a Shakespeare movie?! Are you fucking kidding me? Apparently the Academy has been passing on Spielberg for a good 15 years now, something about him "building his headquarters on a wetland" (probably bullshit). Anyone else heard about that?
This particular score helped me to accept my mother's dead and fulfill her last wish: honouring the brave men who died on Omahabeach by laying flowers at the American War Cemetery in Normandy, France and visiting that place every year with 50 college students. Mum was born in 1943 and liberated by US forces on september 1944. She passed away in may 2001. But the story of the liberation told to her by my grandparents will be passed on by me. Thank you USA for granting me the best mum ever!
They abducted 200,000 Asians (& Caucasians), raped them up to 50 times a day & then buried them alive to save bullets.
*Japanese govt won't apologize to any of the surviving sex slaves.

Great war-time book if you're interested. It's called "The Great Waltz" by Olivia Grosser and it's about three youths (defecting soldiers) who take on Hitler and Stalin - and win. I was thoroughly engrossed in it from beginning to end and at $2.99, what's not to like? It was set during the WWII Siege of Leningrad and the imagery was really vivid. People were starving, snow was falling and freedom lay across a frozen lake...If only they could get to it. Would make a great film.
Why is that Williams always makes people cry with music. When I watched War Horse everybody, including my self, cried at the music. That man should live forever

My grandfather and his brothers were marines in the Pacific. He was 30 years old with a wife and child and had served in the Marine reserves. He not only did not have to go, but he had to get my grandmother to sign a waiver to allow him to re-enlist. He packed parachutes for the fighter pilots. He stopped Charles Lindbergh from taking off without a parachute. Lindbergh called the general. The general told Lindbergh that if sergeant says you can't leave without a parachute then put it on.
my grandfather fought in the Atlantic with the Royal Navy and he was interrogated by the SS. My great-grandfather fought with the British Army in India against the Japanese. God bless them all.
We are learning to play this in my band class and when I play it I feel as though I have so many sad souls and loss at the beginning but when we get to the middle to the end it feels as though we are making what they wanted us to do happen. To have freedom and prosperity along with love.

@DiegitoHorchata Yeah, the ending choked me up a bit. Just the desperation of the whole thing. Trying to prevent elite SS Panzer Grenadiers from capturing a vital bridge.
My grandad served in WWII. I yearned to know more about his experiences but it was too painful for him. Everytime I tried to talk to him about the war he would swiftly switch subjects. He was part of the D-Day landings but that's all I know. When I watch the opening scenes of Private Ryan it always brings a tear to my eye knowing my grandad had to experience that. War is too often glamorised, no one will never know the true horrors of war.

To all of you limp noodles out there who oppose our Armed Forces, you better hope you wake in the morning to the boots of a US serviceman protecting over you and not those of tyranny and oppression at the door ready to pillage, rape, torture and murder all that is dear to you. Only when it's too late do some people realize what our military provides for us. Just ask the Jews in 1940's Europe what a guardian is worth. How fast you forget. It's sacrifice very few will ever fully realize.
My great grandpa searved in the army and flew a P-51D Mustang, the best fighter get ever made at the time. (he was in the army because the Air Force hadnt yet beem established) He flew 56 missions over Europe. He survived the war but many of his friends passed. Before he died, he told me a story about a man he met had died in an air base raid. He was blown up by a grenade. My grandpa looked down and the only thing left of his friend was his ring finger with his wedding ring still on his finger.
@DreamTruthHD He served in the Army air corps right? I think that's what it was called not sure though....Your grandpa sounds like he was an amazing man
@DreamTruthHD I was bawling half way through your story. I don't know y. I never had a relative in service. I can only be thankful for the men, like those in your family who gave me the life I live now. I don't know what else to say without tearing up -_,- Tell your great grandpa I said thank you. Please do that for me.
I am the granddaughter of a WWI veteran, the best friend of 2 service men the niece of a navy veteran and of a WWII air force veteran.
It is not glory or fame sought in service but the existence of human rights that must be preserved. Old men create wars but it is the men who fight them for the sake of others that makes us human divinely so.
No one should face hell alone and I gladly stand by those I call heroic in my eyes ever more.
It seems most of the soldiers that survived World War 2, died of cancer in their later lives.. I had a Great Grandfather who was a Desert Rat, he served in Italy, North Africa, he also met Montgonery etc. He died of Cancer in the 80's i think.. God bless all who did their part to ensure a free world.
In my experience no. I am a son of a WWII vet and just laid my uncle to rest (another WWII vet) I had 4 uncles + my father serve none passed away from cancer. They served from Africa to Europe to Japan. May they all rest in peace. I miss them all.
I’ve been shown in the files of the war department a statement of the adjutant general of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine that I attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss over whelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the republic they died to save...
I pray that our heavenly father may have swaged the anguish of your bereavement and leave you only the cherish memory of the loved lost and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid such costly a sacrifice upon the alter of freedom.
Yours very sincerely and respectfully Abraham Lincoln
My Great uncle died last year. He was 17 when he stormed the cliffs as one of the 250 rangers at Point Du Hoc. Remember the war that freed Europe and those that fought in it. I remember my grampa but mainly my uncle, Bill Bell 2nd Ranger battalion E company, fought D-Day June 6 1944
I bow down for all the men who fought on both sides of this terrible war. I am a german who knows a lot about the horrors of this war. I will never forget about the million men on both sides who gave there lifes for no reason. I hope that future generations will learn from that mistake and solve there problems without grabbing a gun. Don't tell us evil we have made a big mistake and all the the lifes take can't payed back.
Wish I could agree but I'm a firm believer in Hemingway's quote about war. There was so many pointless fights all throughout WW2 which men died like absolute pawns and for no good strategic reason in places like the Hurtgen Forest and Metz.
@berserker276 Actually if you talk to any vet like I have to many in my family that have fought in combat they all say they fought for the men arround them and to tay alive and never thought once about their country, their family, freedom, or politics, they simply fought for each other to stay alive.
@Narkolepticu Yea, considering there are a lot of Americans who are of German decent living then and now in the United States. British/Irish and Germans make up most of America's ethnic population. I think fighting Germany twice was a very sad thing. Hell, I am an American, yet I have some German blood running through my veins.
I forgot it was Veteran's Day today, but when I went to the grocery store to pick up some items I saw a bunch of older guys standing around. "VFW?!" I said. Then it hit me: of COURSE! I remembered then that it was Veteran's Day and I donated to their fund for needy veterans. Happy Veteran's Day and to all the veterans who may be reading this: thanks for your service.
My grandad served as an Irish Prison Guard for a German POW Camp in ireland during the war and this hymn brings back many lovely memories I have of him x
It's Veteran days. I thank for all our brave U.S. armed forces who died giving their life for our freedom and our country. War is evil but sometimes necessary. What if the Japanese and the Nazis attacked you, what would you do? Sit back or go to war? I answer that war is a solution to the problem. Without war, we would be living under Nazi rule. Without war, we won't type on YT. Without war, we would be living under a USSR communist system.
My grandfather served in WWII as a navy captain on the USS saint paul and he passed away about 8-9 months ago and this song is very powerful to all the men who sereved and are serving...GOD BLESS YOU AND AMERICA
I'm Dutch. My grandfather is gone for a few years now, but he was in resistance, blowing up railways to prevent the germans from getting any weaponry, ammo or food, he told me some of his friends got shot by doing this. He was lucky.
@OnbekendGHC those were very brave men, the resistance too.... My father's flew a B-17 but didn't get the chance to drop bombs though did several food drops to the Dutch the last week of the war...
A wonderfully moving tribute to so many young men cut down before their time. Forget Star Wars, E.T., even the unforgettable 1984 Olympic fanfare, this must surely be John Williams' finest. I use this stirring theme as backing music when I give the address at my school's annual Remembrance ceremony. It has the most amazing power to move even the strongest and mightiest to tears, including myself, and even the Head caved in once when it reached that final crescendo. Grateful thanks, gentlemen.
ooo rah, my great granfather stormed the beaches, dodged the bullets, and came home with out a scratch, a true devil dog, the first generation. A loving man, never met him, he couldnt dodge lung cancer. now he guards the pearly gates.
@TUX3DOTIG3R Sorry to hear that mate. my uncle went ashore at Arromanches, he too survived only to succumb to cancer years later.Bless em all, heroes every one!!!!!!!!!!
@TUX3DOTIG3R im sure that when he went up there God greeted him personally with all the other brave men and women who were there and thanked them for protecting freedom and liberating the people of Europe. I salute your grandfather. R.I.P.
@CaptainAmerica322 ? Iwo Jima. Marine Memorial, ring a bell. both my great grandfathers served, one army and one Marine Corps. they served, my brother and I serve, didnt post it for feedback, just food for thought, posts like that dont require feedback. just saying.
I listen to this every year during the two minute silence on Armistice Day. I'm already wearing my poppy for this year's remembrance day (my granddad, who fought in WW2, usually hands them out every year but he's in hospital so can't do it this year for the first time since he started doing it years ago).
I like how this video seems to have lots of little stories like this about what the track and the war meant to us all. British, French, German, American, wherever we come from, we remember.
@moviemadness2009 I had to play the alto sax background part in November, 2001 when I was a freshman in high school. Imagine having to muddle through that thing at a 9/11 memorial concert. I feel for you.
My grandfather served also during wold war II. But i am geran, so he is was german too. I miss his realy a lot. He was prussian and he never saw his hometown again....today it's ploish. No of his friend survived, so i can't ask nobody about his behaviour.He was a good father acourding to my father. I really mis him, b ut is wil never meet him him. his grave is gone so i don't have any posibility to meet him again.
This pays homage to all those who fought in all wars for freedom; oddly enough I associate this with the Civil War as much as WW2. Great music like this makes us think, makes us appreciate what we have and how very precious it is.
I look out my window and it's dark and peaceful, with the wind gusting in. Hearing this I learn not to take that for granted. These people earned the peaceful night with their lives. Now I gotta earn my right to enjoy it.
By far man, well said. The Rangers should have no problem with finding new men with this amazing piece (as well as Black Hawk Down) circulating through. But let's not forget that these guys were absolute HEROES.
...Justin Bieber's Baby has over 600 million views. But seeing as that isn't a real video, song nor artist, I doubt it counts. And with that, I find this video so much more deserving of 600 million views.
@berserker276 ik i just saw that. but i think the evolution of dance should be the most popular. now if u excuse me i gotta go dislike all of justin biebers worthless pieces of crap he calls songs
My grandfather served in WWII, he was a tank gunner for the U.S. Army. He fought, roughly the last year and half of the war in Germany. He's still alive today, and he'll tell me a story every now and again. Got to say, war is never easy, but I know they went through hell and back in those times. Hooah!
let us hope we never experience a war like the vets of ww2 and thank u every single veteran

Wish I could agree but I'm a firm believer in Hemingway's quote about war. There was so many pointless fights all throughout WW2 which men died like absolute pawns and for no good strategic reason in places like the Hurtgen Forest and Metz.

@berserker276 Actually if you talk to any vet like I have to many in my family that have fought in combat they all say they fought for the men arround them and to tay alive and never thought once about their country, their family, freedom, or politics, they simply fought for each other to stay alive.

@Narkolepticu Yea, considering there are a lot of Americans who are of German decent living then and now in the United States. British/Irish and Germans make up most of America's ethnic population. I think fighting Germany twice was a very sad thing. Hell, I am an American, yet I have some German blood running through my veins.
Cheers from Washington State.

I forgot it was Veteran's Day today, but when I went to the grocery store to pick up some items I saw a bunch of older guys standing around. "VFW?!" I said. Then it hit me: of COURSE! I remembered then that it was Veteran's Day and I donated to their fund for needy veterans. Happy Veteran's Day and to all the veterans who may be reading this: thanks for your service.

It's Veteran days. I thank for all our brave U.S. armed forces who died giving their life for our freedom and our country. War is evil but sometimes necessary. What if the Japanese and the Nazis attacked you, what would you do? Sit back or go to war? I answer that war is a solution to the problem. Without war, we would be living under Nazi rule. Without war, we won't type on YT. Without war, we would be living under a USSR communist system.
That is the answer you anti-wars needed to know.

A wonderfully moving tribute to so many young men cut down before their time. Forget Star Wars, E.T., even the unforgettable 1984 Olympic fanfare, this must surely be John Williams' finest. I use this stirring theme as backing music when I give the address at my school's annual Remembrance ceremony. It has the most amazing power to move even the strongest and mightiest to tears, including myself, and even the Head caved in once when it reached that final crescendo. Grateful thanks, gentlemen.

I listen to this every year during the two minute silence on Armistice Day. I'm already wearing my poppy for this year's remembrance day (my granddad, who fought in WW2, usually hands them out every year but he's in hospital so can't do it this year for the first time since he started doing it years ago).
I like how this video seems to have lots of little stories like this about what the track and the war meant to us all. British, French, German, American, wherever we come from, we remember.
