World War 2 Veteran Story

My great uncle shared some stories about world war 2. He experienced combat on Iwo Jima. He provided suppressing fire for the guys that hauled the flag up to be raised at the historic flag raising. He also talked about shooting down kamikaze planes that were trying to take down his boat stationed in the waters around Iwo Jima.

By the way, I captured this footage with my new canon 5d mark 2. I had to downsize the video to 720p. The source footage is very nice at 1080p, but downsizing takes a toll on the quality. I'll try to upload the higher quality video if I can figure out how to reduce the file size below the 1gb size cap. Enjoy.

[elms91]

he seems to be doing really well for his age. i've talked to some vets before who had very foggy memories and also had trouble understanding questions (both audibly and mentally)

that one person who didnt like this video should just go ahead and kill themselves. this man is a hero and if it wasnt for him or people like him who fought in ww2 or any other war for that matter we would probably be speaking german or japanese or some other language other then english.
