(plane and all)!

Real war hero -
We should remember and honor them.

Even if you have seen this I am happy to send it along anyhow. God bless all who have served.

This is a VERY touching video, actually a piece of film that has been
made into a video, this is one that is NOT photo shopped, it's the
real scene!

Notice in the opening shot you'll see the gunner's position is all
shot to hell while the pilot's cockpit ahead of it is undamaged.
Later on notice the corpsman taking a fingerprint of the deceased
gunner, before the film continues, then showing the chaplain saying
the final prayers, followed by taps, then the sailors push the
aircraft and our patriotic airman over the side and watch it sink into
the distance sea. Here's one for a serious conversation with your
kids. THIS WAS REAL!

This is what 18 year old "kids" were doing in 1944. No safe spaces,
no hurtful unthinkable remarks that they couldn't cope with, just
dying for their country so the ungrateful, uninformed snowflakes of
today could act like fools decades later.............

This 2 minute video is pretty moving. Worth your while.
"What actually made this country great is ordinary guys like this
doing extraordinary things."

I kept the link - I will have to watch it again later with more beers. Seen three of these during my time. That's why my signature includes a prayer at the end of my thread. In conflicts men die they always do - I don't know of any war where nobody gets killed. Man seems to perpetuate by ending the lives of others. Sad epitaph you can't have war's or conflicts with no one dying. We all know this as did our fore-fathers. The Civil War and the great Indian War's and so many more wars that it just seems we are not happy without wars!! Yes it aggravates the hell out of me that we are supposed to be the civilized race on earth - yet continue to kill each other - Thank God we only go around once in our lives - that I know of? I will let you know more if I come back?
