For the most part, they were just kids, who had made it through the depression and just when things started to break for them, here comes the war. When they came home they didn’t gripe they just went to work and did the jobs that needed to be done. Every American today enjoying freedom owes it to these guys.

Okay.. I am embarrassed… Why am I the first to comment on this after 9 days after this video is released!?? Awesome job Gary Sinise and his foundation for what they do and have done… for our fellow Vets.. this is what America is supposed to be about. With out the greatest generation stepping up … our country (questionable lately) would not be where it is now… Amazing how Germany caught the world off guard and how close things would be SO much different with decisions Germany made and how things panned out with some luck and bravery on our part…and our allies

I have a new profound respect for Gary Sinise. I had no idea he was so committed to the WW II vets. My father was a B-17 pilot, downed over Denmark, POW in Stalag Luft III. We MUST make sure future generations know of their service and sacrifices.

Jack F. Sweeney 3133rd Signal Service Company Super secret “ghost army” serving in Italy, with M10 tank destroyers mounted with huge loudspeakers and dummy guns, they made noises like troop and tank movements, bridge building, and other synchronized scenarios to hold the Germans in position while the actual push came elsewhere. While operating, they ran their tanks back and forth to provide the low-frequency fill-in missing from the recordings. When discovered, they had maybe 2 hours to dismantle and move back. At the end of the war in Europe, they were loading up to be shipped to Japan — when VJ Day happened. Jack is 91 years old, and I’m very proud to be his wife.

My father will be 94 in June 2016, and was in the Army Air Corps. He was a C-47 Pilot in the 44 Troop Carrier Squadron of the 316th Troop Carrier Group, and dropped 82nd Ariborne paratroops near Ste-Mere-Eglise on D—Day 1944. He also towed gliders into Holland for Operation Market Garden. He has never been to the WWII Museum, and I pray his health holds out to get him there soon. Gary Sinese, your foundation is amazing, and you have literally changed so many lives doing what you do for our veterans.This video is so touching. Thank you!!!

My dad, who will be 90 years old soon, served in WWII in the Army Air Corps. His four brothers also served in WWII in the Army, Marines and Coast Guard. One was in Italy and Yugoslavia and fought in the North Apennines Po Valley Campaign in the mountains of Italy. Another was stationed in Hawaii, another in the Pacific and the Philippines and was among the first U.S. servicemen to step on Japanese soil after the bombs were dropped. The next served in the Coast Guard and sunk four German ships off the east coast of the United States. One of their cousins was a nurse in the Army Nurse Corp stationed at Pearl Harbor when it was bombed (she survived and went on to serve in Korea) and another cousin was lost at sea when his ship (the USS Lexington) was sunk by Japanese dive bombers. I think the men and women who served in WWII were among the greatest generation this country has ever seen and I’m so glad they have this fantastic WWII museum in New Orleans dedicated to all of those who served in WWII. Wish my dad could see it, but it’s over 1,100 miles away.

Thank you to the Gary Sinise Foundation for this film and the experience for our Veterans on the tour. My Uncle Vincent Longo was in the Phillippines, Uncle Matt Shephard was in the Battle of the Bulge, My Uncle Jimmy Lamprose was in Berlin, Germany and my Cousin Donald Pollard flew Army Mission’s in a B-29 in the Pacific Theater….To be honored and remembered this way pulls at my heartstrings and makes me again so proud of my family who fought in WWII and all the men and women who fought for our Freedom…and those who gave their precious lives so we could be free. God Bless them All.

One word, AWESOME! My dad was a veteran of WWII, as was most of his friends. Awesome job Gary Sinise! Thank you for doing this for our vets!

My father earned 4 purple hearts during WW2; my father and mother are now buried in Arlington Cemetery; a place I consider the MOST HISTORIC of places. For more than one reason, it is for me, the most respected of all those visiting the Washington/Virginia area of the USA. There are an overwhelming amount of buildings and sights when visiting the area; but none of which presents the feeling of eternity. It is as though, should DC disappear; the one place that would remain is Arlington Cemetery.

Very well done. Thank you Gary. Pop drove a Higgins landing craft off the USS Grant, an Attack Transport assigned to the Aleutian invasions. He landed a lot of troops and brought them back, some of them in pieces. His mind was wandering in the hospital just before he passed away. I told him about Gary Sinise being there for veterans. He very much liked Gary’s role in Forrest Gump and was genuinely overjoyed to hear that Gary was able to ”walk” again. It really brightened up his day. I was happy for him.

When I was growing up in the 40′s and 50′s most everyone in our little town served in WWII. I knew all of them or so I thought. I knew them as everyday friends, neighbors and mentors. At that time I did not realize what heroes they were and I believe they did not think of themselves as heroes either. When I think back on what I did not ask them I feel guilty. Guilty because if we had talked I could have keep their memories going. I still feel a bit of guilt. Later in life when I was a paratrooper with the 101st Airborne my Uncle John said that he also jumped out of an airplane. I asininely said “that’s cool”. I later found out the plane that he jumped out of was a damaged B29 Bomber. May God bless all who have served and will serve. Bob Milner

I had 5 brave uncles (all brothers) who served in all branches of WW2. They all came back alive and I forever look at their pictures in their uniforms and am so proud of them all. They were Leroy Eastland, Allen Eastland, Gust Eastland, Richard Eastland, and Robert Eastland. We were a proud family from the midwest (Cambridge, Ill.) and always will remember their brave service.

Unfortunately they are not only a dying but also forgotten breed of exceptional men and women. No one here in America can ever imagine doing the goose step up or down 5th Avenue but that’s exactly what would have been were it not for these courageous people. We’re a country that’s indebted to our military and most of us don’t even know it. God Bless all our mitary.

Fantastic. How proud we are of these veterans. Reminds me of our Reno, Nv. Honor Flights.

I did not know about this museum. How could I not know? Thank you, Mr. Sinise, as well as America’s Greatest Generation. It would be so great if you guys could somehow organize something formal to announce to this country how our president is a traitor to this country. People would listen to you guys!! And thank you for your service.
