Thank you for sharing. It's a shame that most have no idea what you video is about. It's great that a 16 year old can have the perspective and compassion to care. America got itself tied in knots over a decade in Vietnam and lost nearly 60,000 in that time. Britan lost 60,000 troops in ONE DAY (1 July 1916) during the Battle of the Somme. The carnage from WWI is unimaginable today. We must not forget. Perhaps with the centenial approaching we will not.
Touching... Just touching... My GF's Great Grandad was a true hero. a SGT. With valuable US knowledge, he was captured by the Germans. He was put on a train and jumped off, secretly. He returned to HQ with the info, and got 2 medals for it.
My granddad's uncle was a messenger during WW1. He had to run across the battlefield into the trenches and got shot in the legs. He got a medal for it! *Salutes great uncle*
