They say that Dwight D. Eisenhower the Supreme Allied Commander & 5 Star General. When they discovered the concentration camps in Germany and Austria, he made sure the press was there to film everything. He said otherwise in less than 100 years people would say it never happened. This is coming true as American History is not a priority in this country any more.
Great Post!
This boy must have been very gifted to be able to do this great tribute. I have worked with Boy Scouts and 4h kids in the past. My son became and Eagle Scout and during High School he was studying WWII, he actually wrote several reports on several things he learned. When he was in his 3rd year of College we both had the opportunity to a veteran of WWII. This guy was a Navigator on one of the five B-17's that were trying to land in Hawaii, on December 7th, We both got to shake his hand an I said to him. " I want to shake the hand of a real American Hero."
His reply was oh I didn't do anything special?

That generation knew what it meant to be and American and to stand up for what was right. This generation just has there hand out and says whats for me. The men and women that serve our country knows the difference. I think several countrys got it right and every man has to serve there country for 2 years.
