If Twitty and I's grandfather was still alive. He was one of the first Marines to land on Okinowa(sp). He would aalways tear up telling the stories. A true hero to us.I love hearing our history. as a culture america has lost it's oral traditions of passing on culture and wisdom. Everything has to be new and modern. No respect for the past.

Sylvian who many languages do you speak?
It's not that they don't care about WWII it's that they don't care about anything other then what is directly in-front of their face. it really is sad.
I think most young Americans dont realize what those men did.That's why he was so happy to meet someone who actually knew what he did.
Im not saying that Americans dont care about it but I think I can appreciate it more than a young American who only spent a few hours studying WW2 in a book.
Same here! Uncle Jack never talked much about it! he told a few of the stories when he had a few drinks in him but never much, it wasn't until he had passed that I was helping my Aunt go through his stuff that I found his Discharge papers that is when I read about his three Bronze Stars! He was a modest man and never bragged about the war! When I would press him for stories he would always tear up, and just say you can not even imagine what it was like! he did tell me once that he was home for five years before he could see the color red again!! I can not even imagine what he saw! or lived through!
your still way ahead of me I only speak American. I have been the UK a few times I don't speak the queen's English.When im asked that I usually say that I just speak one, which is French.
That's the only one I truelly master so I dont say that I speak any other language even if I can communicate in a language I dont say that I speak it.
I studied English, German and Portuguese in school.
I can also understand a bit of Spanish and Italian, being so close to French.
But that's about it.Im not saying that im fluent in any of those languages.Im only fuent in French.
I like languages, im planning on learning more on my own.
