I wish I fought in WWII that seemed like the most important war.

RIP brother. Another generation perhaps but we belong to the same fraternity. See you soon.

@1985woooman Its pretty hard for them to talk about it something that devastating can take a toll on you, my uncle served in Vietnam and his left ear is all messed up from a grenade that nearly killed him. He talks about it but some of the stuff is pretty gruesome.

this is my father. I will always be grateful to phil for this wonderful footage he preserved for youtube. My father was an amazing man, as so many of the vets are. And as a Dad, he was incredible. Just an all around terrific guy.

i feel bad more for the people that survive ww2 instead of Afghanistan, i feel like ww2 messed most of the veterans up, my grandpa was in vietnam, that is all he had told me, i was wondering why he wasnt talking about it, so i asked my grand ma, then she said his best friend blew up in front of him, i just wish he would say something

He was retired. But he was an executive for a textile company in NYC prior to that. This interview was conducted in 2001. He died in 2005.
