They don't call them "The Greatest Generation" for nothing. God Bless! Great voice, too.

It brings tears to my eyes to know these guy, and gals of the greatest generation will soon be gone. I wish I could have the kids today understand why they did what they did.

Was this man like 7 years old at the time of his service? Dude looks incredible for being a WW2 vet.

I met this man yesterday. He had a speech and talked the E-4s and below about his story during the war. The beer in the helmet is a true story.

This man had tears in his eyes because he remember the days where he was singing this with his fellow soldiers back in ww2

SING ALONG! Everybody happy cried, the sergeant looking up Our hero's bravely answered "YES" an then they stood him up He jump right out in to the blast, and his static line unhooked He ain't gonna jump no more. Chorus: Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die. Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die. Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die. He ain't gonna jump no more. Now there was blood upon the riser, there were brains upon the chute Intestines were-a hanging from his paratrooper boots They picked him up still in the chute and pour him from his boots He ain't gonna jump no more. Chorus: Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die. Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die. Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die. He ain't gonna jump no more. Now the letter they sent home went to his wife and baby son Madam we regret to say your trooper's life is done But hold your head up high, his name is written in the sky He ain't gonna jump no more. Chorus: Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die. Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die. Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die. He ain't gonna jump no more. Now they sent him to Afghanistan And then into Iraq The bullets that came speeding out went deep into his back He hit the ground but his grenede found enemy on track And he ain't gonna jump no more. Chorus: Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die. Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die. Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die. He ain't gonna jump no more.

If Samsung has a salute emoji, he'd get 50 from me. 1 for each state he has defended.

Germans: Sing about their fiancé waiting for them back home Japanese: Sing about the glory of the Emperor and Empire Americans: Take a classic American song about going on a crusade for freedom and make it about dying in the most gruesome way possible instead Yeah I'm not sure if it was just U.S. industry that gave us the edge...
