The Veterans Day Video
Over 250,000 of America's finest young men that were killed in World War II. And we will never know that he wrote that they did. And also many of them that didn't make it home. And when I think about them and all of the heroes that went through and what they went through, having been there and saw where they died and the way they died, I can tell you that every single one who's a hero. Hi, my name is Alice di Nicola, Alice Vogel. And I'm a teacher at twin valley south high school. I was born on New Year's Eve. And I remember overhearing launched my mother telling other people that she cried when I was born. And I felt very badly that I had spoiled her festive occasion. And it wasn't until I was much older and had children of my own. That I realized that my mother had cradled a newborn infant three weeks after the Attack on Pearl Harbor in the year 1941. And we traveled a long road that were strewn with rubble. And we stayed at one hotel and I remember looking out the window and asking my father, are they building those buildings up or are they tearing those buildings down? All I had to do was a company my parents on any sort of a trip someplace, and you would see the devastation.
You would see people in the streets trying to find firewood trying to find food by trying to find some way to maintain a daily life. It was a struggle each and every day. What's the one thing you take away or that thing that just is so profound that you realize looking back on that experience? The contrast that you have between. The conquerors and comfort. My name is James corer. Typically, the most difficult day was to get done. Same old thing over and over Andy. Trying to get food deep. Move around. Keep warm. Don't worry. 19 and 20? Did you feel grown up then or did you feel like just kids? Did her sister go to redo them? That's right. After what's going on. Now, you say you were married when you were over there. Is that right? What was the first thing you did with your wife when you got back? That's a poor question. Oh. I'm getting over there. Anyone. Going on too. Tennessee, did you miss being at home? Oh yeah. What'd you miss the most? Yeah.
Well, I missed my dad mom and what was a normal day like just a typical day with a pretty boring well they knew that she didn't take exercise with me. Every morning. Can't have roll call, then then can we take a take? About 30 minutes exercise example down and then run 60 yards, you know, basically could and all that junk, you know? And that bad to get away from that person. How long were you there? Oh, God, I don't know. Can't make lunch. Yeah? Make any good friends over there? Yeah. I had to. I had a pretty true. And he had to he had a little purple girl. Are you pretty old time, you know? And so when you drop that talent boom, I went to the capital command and also and they got him up and sent me home, and I can't find any. I don't know. Or he's still living here. He went out and texted someone. But he's the best when I had one as with me. My name is risotto. I said the Marine Corps and the Corporal. And then they called it. What about people that you left from home? Yeah. At home, family.
The first time away from whom it was pretty rough experience. We describe a typical day. Overseas. And you're pretty hard to do because we were in combat most of the time. Just a lot of fighting. With the Japanese. You know, two days were like, you never knew where you'd come live from one day to the next. I'm 45. My world consisted of one county in Kentucky. I don't have been out of state ready. I'm only once. And that all changed, then, when I went in and they put me in a 29, World War II has been often referred to as the last good war. The reason for that is not that any war is good. But it's because America was so solid behind it. There was no dissent. Everybody, women, children, they gave their all. But you never heard a GI that start and go across the country and never have a dime, or a vehicle. Everybody was ready to take them up. I'm very proud. To have been a World War II veteran and to have been in some part in some way. Parted. I feel very blessed and fortunate that I made it back. And I pray for them that's over there now. I tell you that they will make it back. God bless each woman. That didn't make it home. And when I think about them and all of the heroes that went through and what they went through, having been there and saw where they got and the way they died, I can tell you that every single one was a Negro.
