The Last Goodbye, a WWII Tribute - Lifein3D

We hope you enjoy this Memorial Day Tribute to our World War II Heroes. This is the reason they are known as the greatest generation.

Thank you to all of you who sent in pictures of your loved ones. Though we were not able to include every picture in this video, we looked at every one and read every story that was sent to us. We were deeply moved. Thank you again to those who will always be in our memories.

beautiful! My dad is 101 years old. He was a prisoner of war in Germany. After he was liberated he spent a year in the army hospital. He was sick and emaciated plus he'd lost the end of a couple of toes to frostbite. But he went on to live an amazing full life. I'm fortunate to have him and my mom still with me. They've been married 75 years.

I lost my husband 5 1/2 years ago. He was a Marine from Viet Nam era. He lost both eyes, 2in hole in his skull, and numerous other injuries. Yet, he went to college, worked 15 yrs for the VA, married with 6 children. He is an extraordinary man and I miss him.

My grandfather was 98 when he passed away on Christmas Eve last year. He was a prisoner of war in Germany for about 6 months before the war came to an end. Thank you all for this, I gave him my last goodbye but I’ll always wish I had one more.

Thank you for this! My dad turned 98 last March. He is a WWII vet. Still living at home independently. Love that man beyond words! ❤

[joanjohn]

Please don’t forget us more than one million black Americans fought in world war 2! My dear dad was one ! Many never returned home ! I was fortunate that he was a proud survivor !

[francoislechampi]

As a French man I will never forget that we owe our freedom to the American people and it will be a joy to welcome you in Paris for the Olympics. Please come to visit us. The city of Paris was never as beautiful as today. I look forward to see you back.

I am 91 Korean War Vet Air Force - Thankyou for this "Excellent Presentation" God bless You

My father, the late Staff Sgt. Henry A, (Medic Corps) Thanks you. And so do I.

My Dad's eyesight was too bad for active combat, but he was stationed on a Navy boat in the Pacific theater. They were called to do recognizance in Nagasaki a week after the bomb dropped. Dad lost a lung upon returning to the U.S., but lived to 88 with one lung. Love you Daddy, and honor your service! ❤

My grandfather was a Merchant Marine captain of Liberty Ships taking supplies to Europe. He had three ships sunk from under him, and took a 14mm round in the leg. Before that, he fought in the trenches of WW1. My father stood fast at the Pusan Perimeter, in spite of a shrapnel head wound. They inspired me to serve in the Gulf War. They inspired my nephews, who were injured in Afghanistan. We've stood on the line to preserve democracy and the American way, proudly.

My uncle died in a foxhole in France on Christmas Eve during WWII. He was only 19 yrars old. He fought to keep us free! We must never forget all these brave souls. What a beautiful tribute! Coming from such honored youth! Blessings❤❤❤

Extremely moving kids! Don't forget we sacrificed 58 thousand-plus in

[voiceofreason]

As a decorated vet, believe me, you never forget it.

[TheBrotherKnight]

None is forgotten who puts their life in harm's way for another. No rank or colour will divide those who stood shoulder to shoulder in the battle against evil. This is a sobering reminder of the ultimate sacrifice the brave make for another. Thank you Life in 3D for a dignified memorial to God's beautiful people.

[bestoddisee]

My Dad was in India and China, my husband’s Dad at Pearl Harbor. Their brothers were at Pearl Harbor and European theater, one flew the Hump. Thank you for this tribute to them.

[brianpeterson]

Well done in gratitude to our servicemen, who paid the price for our freedoms ❤️🇺🇲

[craigfoster]

So tastefully done. Brought tears to my eyes as my father passed last month having served at Pearl Harbor (after the Japanese bombardment) repairing submarines' electronics. His ashes are now buried at a National Veterans Cemetery. We will remember them all.

[dustbunny]

My Dad was among those men who stayed gone from home all of those years. He was one of the fortunate who did come home. So many did not. Thank you for this. We miss them, but look forward to being reunited in God's time.

Growing up in the 60s and 70s, WW2 veterans were my teachers, little league coaches, Boy Scout leaders, community organizers, dentists, local firemen and police. They were my uncles and grand uncles, my friends' fathers and my own father. Expressing sadness and gratitude at their passing is exactly right.
