  • Proves just how great of a man Tom Hanks is. First one to stand up and the last one to sit down.

  • These two men. These two brave men, are some of the biggest heroes of the 20th century! These two men has been in a fight that no one in our generation or in the once after could even imagine! Not only these two. But also all of the other brave and willing men who joined The Navy, The Army, The Marines and The Air force When the world really needed them! Thank you for making a future where the world isn't the Third Reich. May God bless you, and may you bee remembered in all eternity.
