@mamboitaliano__ I agree. I couldn’t Watch more than 30 seconds.

Stories: my experience with my father and uncles, from WW2, and my brother from Viet Name, is that they did not talk about what they saw, did, heard, or felt during their war expriences.

[John LeFevre @JohnLeFevre]

Out of 16.4 million Americans who served in WWII, only about 40,000 are still alive.

They’re dying at a rate of ~100 per day.

These are the heroes who saved the world from tyranny.

Find one. Thank one. Listen to their stories.

While you still can.

@GrayMarker99 We have a large group of eagles that have been overwintering for several years at the south shore of Onondaga Lake here in Syracuse. Amazing.

@VoicesofWW2 I could only watch 30 seconds before bursting into tears.

I did not know this. Brave women.

[Dr Helen Fry | WWII Historian @DrHelenFry]

Did you know that the first women to land on the Normandy beachhead in June 1944 were nurses of Queen Alexandra’s Imperial Nursing Service?

Their task was to establish a field hospital for 600 wounded soldiers.

They succeeded.

Please remember these heroines who saved lives:

I visited the Shacksboro Schoolhouse Museum grounds yesterday. Their annual peony festival is today. Lovely grounds and nice small museum and shop.

Take a moment to hear the beautiful harmony of this choir singing in the Catholic Church in Tartu, Estonia. 🇪🇪 We filmed them for the end of our doc.
