for Memorial Day "LEST WE FORGET" those who have lived through history.

This United States Veteran served during World War Two on the USS LAFFEY... which was attacked by more Kamikaze's than any other ship during WW2. The ship survived.. barely, and limped home only to become the newest way to sell war bonds. It was the public's first look at the devastation of war.. up close and personal. This man lived a wonderful life, and his name is not currently shared because his family is still in grieving.

ABOUT: History Documented.com

Late in 2007, Toledo natives Chris Wulf and Rick Neeley discovered their shared passion for history and began asking area war veterans to convey their stories. They founded History Documented, and gave local veterans the opportunity to document their war experiences.

HistoryDocumented.com is an educational Internet resource that teachers, students and anyone interested in history can access to find firsthand accounts of history they cant find in textbooksthings that bring historical events to life and make them more real.

Funding for the project comes from Neeley and Wulf, which allows them to hold two or more interviews a week. Neeley said they would like to do more, but the costs. restrict them. Wulf is working to make History Documented an incorporated nonprofit.

Our goal and purpose of this website is to ensure that history will never again be forgotten and lost for future generations. We want to take our past and pass the knowledge on to future generations.

We use the best video production techniques currently available to us in order to document our veterans history. We use this oral history technique in order to add enjoyment to education.

We feel that many veterans are forgotten, not to mention their stories. We want the world to know the hardships the United States has suffered in order to guard us from foreign evils. We simply overlook our freedom in this country, and the sacrifices so many men and women have given us.

  • so we should have went to church more thats the reason why millions have got laid off and were in a recission. So the war in iraq, and afghan, bailout has nothing to do with our issues, its about god huh. bless this man for his service though

  • @bluebitch55 He talked about other things than God. Clearly you have a "God" issue.

  • Four comments on one of the greatest videos on youtube. Goes to show where our country is at. This man is a national treasure and should be remembered for ever.

  • @Garinb747 Thanks for the support. Unfortunately what we are trying to do, doesn't get us enough recognition to do it full time. 808 views isn't enough to get us on Oprah.. lol.

  • I'm very moved.

    I love you and miss you Uncle Bob.

  • We will do our best to get the interview done asap. I have about 15 interviews to work on first, and am having computer issues, not to mention I need a second job. So we are doing our best. Please pass the video on so others may view it.

    Thanks

    Chris

  • So honored to see this on my Grandpa-in-law, we all miss him dearly.

  • @bluebitch55 bailout and previous bailouts has everything to do with it.

  • @prendes4 If me stating that I don't think there is a God is disrespectful and narrow-minded, so be it, I really don't care if it offends anyone.

  • @XERIK952X18X That is an incredibly narrow view of the situation. That is also a very disrespectful way of saying it. I suggest you reexamine yourself.

  • I think what you're doing is much better than being on Oprah. Whatever is popular isn't always right and whatever is right isn't always popular. :-)

  • Jesus Christ is not a man-made myth, nor is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. God loves you so much that He sent Jesus to die on the cross for your sins. Jesus is a gift, but if you choose not to accept the gift, that is your choice, but I am asking God to make Himself real to you. He wants a relationship with you. You weren't a mistake, you were born at this time in history for a specific purpose and if you will talk to Him, He will reveal your purpose. Please ask Him to reveal Himself.

  • I will never confess to man-made myth. Sorry.
