  1. Awesome did you get to meet his parents your great great grandparents

  2. I am so happy for you and Dewey!
    Both my parents served in the army during WWII and yes, just teenagers. My mom was a WAC and lived to be 97. Unfortunately, my father was seriously injured during theBattle of the Bulge and never fully recovered. He passed in the 1960’s.
    Awesome, he could hold and meet Millie!

  3. A hearttwarming story! Sadly, the greatest generation is dwindling to a precious few. 16 Million men and hundreds of thousands of women served in WWII out of a U.S. population of about 100 million! If that war were fought today with a population of 330 million – 50 Million men would be in uniform before it was over! Most of them were just 18, 19 and 20 years old! The Greatest Generation – who came of age in the depravity of The Great Depression – saved the world from tyranny!

  4. God bless him and your family. I wish I had a big family like that.

  5. Bless all you the good news rejoice Jesus Christ the son of god is returning soon. The son of man and son of god had done wonderful then like helping the sick and injured, wake on water, cast out demons, feed the many, make the bline see, and raise the dead. Believe Jesus died for your sin with his blood. Buried for three days. An on the third day rose in a glorified body we to will have in the rapture. Repent your sins or face gods wrath of the great tribulation. There be 21 wraiths and if your there in this time don’t take the mark of the beast and accept death in faith to Jesus Christ. The mark be on forehead or right hand. Jesus love and cares about you he will help you feel that hole in your heart all he ask is for you to accept him as your lord and savior and learn about him. spread the message please…..

  6. I love the grounded reality of this channel!!,Despite the recession, I no longer depend on Government Grants since I acquire $16,400 bi weekly profits👍👍 !!!

  7. You of radical left is guilty too about all these bad issues that US like high criminality, a lot of drug addicts, homicides, steals, riots and looting, high number of homeless, terrorist domestic groups like BLM and ANTIFA that is destroying our country, and of course the increase of possible terrorist attacks into US. And mainly the current bad situation of financial and social with high prices of food, gas public services, unemployment and others bad issues. Ours communications system like CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC and others, too are guilty for all of bad that US is passing because supported the socialist agenda by Joe Biden.
