[TheSnowcrasher]

I really love the american spirit and even being Swedish/American I tend to be dissapointed at todays America, but God - if there is one - bless America for it's actions during WW2

[TheDaxbaby]

Thank you for the wonderful comments RudySunseeker. Remember it was a team effort. But still appriciate you appriciating us. ( America) Not many people seem to like us anymore.

[RudySunseeker]

@TheDaxbaby Thanks for kind words. Yes, it certainly was a team effort and one that will never be repeated. That fact alone lends it a very special aura.

[TheDaxbaby]

Greatest band ever, Greatest Men and women of all time ( during World War 2).

That's when America was all on the same page.

If we never have anything else, we will always have World War 2.

God Bless are Service men and women then through ,now and the future.

[chriskcr]

great tribute to our brave servicemen who gave so much so we could live free today.god bless the still living and may the dead rest in peace.

[uliari]

@RoadCaptainEntertain only type on the bar "sacred war song" or you could download it from any torrent... there are many videos about that song but will be pretty interesting view all togheter. american, soviet and german songs in one video..

[willysnut40]

Awesome video!!! I often think of a group of P-51 Mustangs flying high over the English Channel when I hear this tune. You really put the right video together for this great classic Glenn Miller tune! Thanks so much for sharing it with us!

[uliari]

you should make a video with the comparsion of this song and the soviet "sacred war" and "lilly marleen" every country had their song

[Findalis]

Great music gave the US the edge in WW 2.

A toast to the men who fought for freedom and the ones who never made it home.

[hd96flstc]

Thanks for posting, and thanks to all WWII Vets, living and not. My Dad was 1st Cav - New Guinea, Leyte & Manila. My Uncle Joe was 8th AF crypto. And my Crew Chief, Ssgt R.E. Natali was on the Albert W. Grant DD649 (Surigao Strait). Our Neighbor's brother was aboard the USS Indianapolis when she went down, and another neighbor, Wm. D. Wilson never made it home. KILLED IN ACTION IN EUROPE AND BURIED IN MARGRATEN CEMETERY, HOLLAND.

[JimHadar1]

Great to see pics of the Gambier Bay and St. Lo included.  Every time I think of it I'm still amazed at the courage of the men from Taffy 3 (and the supporting Taffy groups too) showed that fateful day. I fear our generation just doesn't have men cut from the same cloth as those forefathers on the USS Johnston, USS Hoel, Gambier Bay, et. al.

[A1R5N1P3R]

I speak American.

[LVSaddleTramp]

My father was A company 506th PIR and recieved his second and third wounds at Bastonge, he passed away in 2002 still miss him..thanks for posting this video

[WarBirdMan1]

It was so peacefull after the war, and in the 50s, now days it SUCKS! Noone really looks back at all these people. Lets see, most 19 years now days are at partys, drinking, drugs, 19 years old kids back then were pilots flying B-17 bombers, P-51s, I tell ya, these days life is just all about partying, its rediculous.

[xnxx76]

nice vid man

[VinylToVideo]

@RoadCaptainEntertain One was a Colt 45 but the other was a Smith and Wesson 357, both with G.S.P. engraved into the ivory grips.

[crorivpro]

This video gives me goose bumps and a tear in my eye. The Greatest Generation at their best.

[hep2jive]

Thanks to the men and women who gave everything.

[zacksairsoftattack]

did you really have to show a picture of die Reichstag on fire?????

[jb92034]

Very nice --thanks !!

[Scubaqueen111]

the general worn his own weapons, indeed. pearl-handled colt revolvers, if memory serves. my dad served under him. said he was one hell of a CO.

[Ullarsskald1989]

@Scubaqueen111

Ivory grips, actually. Patton is noted as saying, "Pearl is for pimps."

[wyliesnyder]

What great pics! Good music to go with it.

Thank you HerkyHawl1985 for sharing.

[ihjiojlknkhb]

この曲は最高！！！！！！！！！

[TeamBlackster]

I really like this video

[ellerboda]

Looks like George Patton wore his own gun (0:26) ??

[SNOWCORPS]

voila s'ke j'apel de la bone zic, mai domage k'il soi mort a la fleur de l'age et de sa gloire. G conu cète zic a l'age de 7 an et j'aiadoré.

[generationll]

Glen mIller also recorded a song called "Peggy the Pinup Girl"

[generationll]

At 1:46 is a picture of "Peggy the Pinup Girl".The name of another Glenn Miller song.

[RoadCaptainEntertain]

It's actually Betty Grable.

[raffiesgirl]

@generationll that's betty grable

[nappyhead828828]

1:41 to 1:57

its a guys solo, but its a riff from another song....does anybody know the name of the song that comes from??????????

[uh60mip]

@nappyhead828828 "The Girl I left Behind Me" a British Army drinking song from the 1700s

[nappyhead828828]

thank you so much

i've been trying to figure that out for the last 12 years!

[singinwithangels]

Haha, I'm on 16, but I LOVE Big Band!!! You did a great job on this vid! The sound is so clear and the pics are fun. This is an amazing job and Glen did SO well on it!!!!!

[sanpedrojohn]

Excellent job. A fitting tribute to America's greatest generation. My compliments.

[piperboy26]

my favorite glenn miller tune ever

[101drill]

i think glenn miler was a great american and also a graet composer. in my opinion what people my age are watching is the just terible.

[Hendrikdevuile]

This tune reminds me of the nice GI's based in England who used to give me gum (a hitherto unknown substance), plastic plane-spotting sheets and American comic supplements. On VJ day at the age of eight I declared war on a boy who had bullied me throughout the hostilities. He had been hitherto bigger  than me but was now shorter, and still called me "four-eyes". I won the fight, and was able to celebrate my personal victory simultaneously with that over the Empire of the Rising Sun.

[supernole100]

You are a true hero and I respect you!!!

[flashart]

Great Video.

Thanks for posting!

[RoadCaptainEntertain]

INSIDER1930's comments have been removed and he has been blocked. No one disrespects frontline servicemen on my channel.

[supernole100]

Good on ya' man screww that guy!

[zipper179]

@RoadCaptainEntertain Way to go, Captain! And you've got my salute..As far as I'm concerned, we'll never be through thanking you guys and gals..!

[YATES001]

Do you mean britains BOMBERS ended your silly games in this genre fritz?

[habibiamirah]

I dedicate this song to my late mother in law who passed away this month 5 years ago. she was a brave army nurse in WW2 God Bless here and al the rest of these heroes.

[generationll]

Glenn MIller gave his life for his country.There is no greater love then to lay down his life for his friends

[kiddo78mn]

It's not about your stupid high school band...It's in tribute to the soldiers who saved our asses during WWII...brat.

[orcstr8d]

Hey 'Kiddo78,' I love the song primarily for that reason, but I think you are a bit harsh in your assessment. With any luck, the young high-schoolers will have teacher s who can explain the added value of patriots like Glenn Miller.

[kiddo78mn]

I agree. But read their comments...It's all about, "Oh, I had to play this song in band..." with no mention of the images and/or era that go along with it. Harsh??? No. Just stating the truth. They are entitled brats with no respect for anything but "The Hills" or "American Idol."

[SpOtLiGhToNcUlLeN]

i had to play this in band 2. lol. but we liked it a little bit and we didnt like it cuzz the clarinets(wat i play) we hardly played olny a little bit and it was hard to do all the ties

[orcstr8d]

Her hometown is Appleton. Could that be the same Appleton (Wisc.) that one of the 'brave few' (okay he was actually a Navy corpsman, instead of a Marine) atop that sulfuric island at 2:48 is from, and not one of her elders pointed it out to her? That would be a shame, might inspire some further research on her part, yes, but I also think some of those vets would want a teenagers life to be as simple as what she's loaded on her "favorites" page.

[bowmasta]

I had to play this song in band, It was one of my favorites but that was 3 years ago =P

[juuukka2]

just in time thank you

[cky12qxz]

1:27 Damn..

[generationll]

Harry Truman whose voice was heard at the end was never more true when he said that hell will fall from the sky.On August 6,1945 that became reality

[wherezmyfreakinpie]

My Great Grandfather was one of the pilots at Pearl Harbor who warned the officers about the possible Japanese attack--and his family saw the attack from their house.

[chswrestlingchamp]

men before me

[chswrestlingchamp]

I'm in the Army now, hopefully I can live up to the bravery and honor that is the tradition founded by

[bbjornst07]

Top notch video thanks for posting! Jazz and History probably the best 2 subjects in the world!!!

[BroiledVictory]

Wow you just described the two things that make up my life.

[BayonetWarFilms]

If you enjoy war films drop on in the channel... it links to my yahoo groups, one being history of WW2. You would be surprised, on how many articles are popping up on the subject still this day. Regards.

[BayonetWarFilms]

Very nice "Road Captain," Glenn Miller fits perfect here to!

[Twom44]

THE GREATEST GENERATION !!!!!! How much do ya figure we owe them for what we have today. God bless them all.

[BroiledVictory]

You will know until you "Have been to hell and back"

[supernole100]

Great score to some great photos!!! Good job man.

[snobear41]

what a wonderful salute to the "greatest generation" Lest we forget the lessons they learned the hard way!

[generationll]

The voice heard at the end is Harry Truman

[sstrooper93]

Amen mactherapist! Thank you for taking care of these precious people! God Bless you!

[sstrooper93]

Outstanding piece of work! Thank you for taking the time for putting together this timeless tribute.

[mactherapist]

as a nurse I'm taking care of alot of veterans from World War 2. What these frail men and women did many years ago must never be forgotten. The world we live in is solely because of them. We will always have trouble with people who want to take over the world, and hold people to their will. but just imagine if the Japs and nazis had won....

[BroiledVictory]

Read: "The Man In The High Castle" by Philip K. Dick it is set in 1960s except that the Axis won WWII.

[Woo5ter]

@mactherapist

May God bless those who have fallen in the line of duty...

[dlepagexnow]

THANKS A MILLION FOR THIS GREAT VID--GLEN MILLER -- A MUSICAL GENIUS AND TRUE INSPIRATION--THEN AND NOW!(This was my father's favourite artist when he was in the Canadian Royal Navy during World War II)

[RudySunseeker]

Glenn Miller, what an extraordinary musician he was! A first-class trombone player, composer, arranger and bandleader besides being a well-liked gentleman. Which he had to be to create that level of commitment and devotion from his men.

Listen to the bouncy drive in "American Patrol", a constant forward surge, never stumbling over its own feet, always well-measured and in balance. That´s the class and quality Miller expressed whatever the tempo and tune. Continued

[RudySunseeker]

Compare with the many "Glenn Miller Orchestras". Sometimes you get the impression they just added a lead clarinet to the sax section hoping that alone would do the trick. It doesn´t.

I will never forget the first time I heard Glenn Miller, on a home-made radio under the blanket. I was nine and a new world opened up. Personally I think life is too short to listen to anything else than the original recordings. Glenn Miller was a hero in more ways than one, let´s revere him accordingly.

[RudySunseeker]

Thank you, America, you saved us all for which we will always be grateful. This was your proudest hour, how we Europeans idolized you after the war! You gave us music, film and the promise of a better life, thank you, thank you, thank you! Great video, good job!

[RoadCaptainEntertain]

Thank you for the nice comments.

[maxiboy666]

[RoadCaptainEntertain]

While travelling to entertain U.S. troops in France during World War II, Miller's plane disappeared in bad weather. December 15, 1944. Presumeably lost over the English Channel.

[FERNYSDAD]

how come embedding is disabled?

[RoadCaptainEntertain]

Embedding has been enabled on this video. Thanks for watching.

[manyanovo]

sorry that glen miller did not live to see VE and VJ Day.

[heretict666]

First I want to say that was really put together very well. Second, I enjoyed the pictures put in it. Third, listening to Glenn Miller and others has inspired me to play a lot of swing and big band music. Fourth, that was a great Easy Company picture in there you'll have to tell me where you got some of your pictures from.

[RoadCaptainEntertain]

I used to maked PowerPoint shows and have a large collection of pics relating to WWII and specifically the war in the Pacific. Many pics are official U.S. Govt. (Army Signal Corps, U.S. Navy, ect.). Many of these Govt. photos can be found doing Google Image searches for noteable places, battles or ships. There are some good web sites with extensive collections.

[KRUGE67]

great vid,well done pal!!

[flakeater]

Wow that was fantastic!!!!Great pictures and a wonderful tribute.Thanks for posting

[lordzfir3]

God Bless THE GREATEST GENERATION that ever was and ever will be. RIP Mr. Miller. Your music carried this nation and reminds people like me of the sacrafice made by all those heroes, both men and women.

[RudySunseeker]

Thanks for great comment!

This was intended for TheManFromAcme, to be honest.
