It's absolutely mind-blowing to me that 20 million people's stories just got ended or erased by this war. 20. Million. Different stories. Births, weddings, graduations struggles all of it

My father was born in 1911. His family were forced to 'relocate' to a German community here in Texas. During WW-2, my father was already in the Navy when they got word about Pearl harbor. Because of my father being of German heritage, he was transferred to the Pacific Theater to combat the Japanese. The irony for me is that, although he didn't have a family until his 50s, I grew up around my German-speaking family, my Spanish speaking friends, and my father picked up enough Japanese to teach me a bit. As a result, I have friends all over the world that, thanks to the internet today, I'm able to keep in almost daily contact. One thing I will always be grateful for is that I ended up with a very diverse viewpoint that would not have existed had both wars not happened.

*The worst part about this video is you have no idea how Gallipoli is pronounced. You really should have looked it up first.*

[just-a-silly-goofy-guy]

To this very day PTSD is looked down on in the US Military. I was diagnosed with PTSD in 2004 after my first Iraq tour but the doctor never told me. He instead cleared me for another tour back to Iraq. I never knew it until 2017. It totally explained to me why my 18 year Army career ended horribly.
