🚨#BREAKING: A 28-year-old confirms he has spent the last 10 YEARS of his life interviewing World War II combat veterans to keep their stories alive...
...in fact, for the last 10 years, he has interviewed World War 2 veterans EVERY SINGLE DAY
He started as a teenager, ditching school to ride his BIKE to the local retirement home, walking up to the front desk and asking to, "meet some World War II heroes."
His name is Rishi Sharma.
He's crossed all 50 states and half the world.
He's slept in his car and lived on gas-station food to afford it.
He asks these men for hours of their memories, and then he hands the entire recording to their families...
...FOR FREE
So that 200 years from now, a great-great-grandchild will know not just their hero's name, but how he laughed, how he cried, and what he sacrificed.
Rishi has no military family, his parents immigrated here from India.
He does it out of pure gratitude.
In his words:
"My parents were given the opportunity to immigrate and raise a family because of veterans like these. It's a debt of love I'll spend my entire life trying to repay..."
As one 100-year-old Marine who stormed Iwo Jima told him, remembering the flag going up:
"The hair on my arms still stands up when I think about how beautiful it was."
THAT is America.
250 years of ordinary people doing extraordinary things...
God bless our veterans. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
"you are now the extreme left of the union army"
"yup"
"you cannot retreat."
"yeah"
"if you flee, the rebels will roll up the entire union army"
"okay"
"don't fucking run?"
"no problem."
"Send me" implies a willing sacrifice.
However most of them were conscripts and not volunteers.
They didn't have a choice. "We'll go" was the sentiment. A reluctant duty.
The reality was that they were facing down a reluctant duty. That is what Americans need to remember. These were young men, almost children who were being sent to do something awful.
They are heroes because they did it even though they did not want to. That is what a hero is.
They desperately need them to be portrayed as willing sacrifices because it removes the burden of the older generations, who send the young to die. It makes them feel better about it. "Look at those boys, what heroes, dying for the life that I live and they will never experience."
Jameis Winston with words of wisdom:
“We have a blonde hair, blue-eyed white kid and a black muslim religion, black man showing ya’ll that we can come together.”
🇺🇸 More than 1,500 people attended the funeral of 98-year-old WW2 Navy Vet John Bernard Arnold III in Massachusetts after officials discovered he had no known living relatives, giving the veteran a powerful final salute from strangers honoring his service.
Wild story: A man in Kentucky laughed so hard at a botched Younghoe Koo FG last season that it triggered a seizure, sending him to the hospital, where doctors discovered a tennis-ball-sized brain tumor.
The tumor was removed and was deemed not cancerous. The man believes that missed kick saved his life.
