World War II Veteran Charles Kelley had always wanted to join the Marines. But there was no way he could know the horrors he would experience in the Pacific Theater of the Second World War, enduring such battles as Guam and Okinawa - the bloodiest battle in the Pacific.

    It’s sad that I found out about this story through the movie Jaws. Why did the US wait 5 days to get these men? Why did they wait two weeks to announce the sinking of the USS Indianapolis? Why did they court marshal Cpt. Mcvay? Why did they let Mcvay go without treatment until his suicide? I am an American loving citizen but I’m awfully ashamed of my Gov to be truthful. God bless this man and all the hero’s of the USS Indianapolis. 🙏🏼

    He's such a fantastic storyteller! He's so youthful -- you'd never guess he'd been in WWII!

    What a fascinating experience! My grandfather was at Leyte, too, as a medic. Its stunning to know he saw things like this. The end of Mr. Samas' story is so incredible -- to sit down with a man he crossed paths with decades earlier -- truly amazing.

    precious man -- he was born the same year as my grandmother and lived thirty years longer than she did. What I wouldn't give to sit down and talk to him!

    What an absolute doll of a man. Still smiling even as he recounts almost being mowed down. My god. My grandfather was a medic in the Pacific for four years. He died when I was eleven and I had no idea the kind of experiences he must've had. You'd never have known he'd been in war -- just like this man, he was the sweetest person in the world. It almost makes me wonder if they had a sense about which guys would be the best medics -- which would be the most kind, the most loving, the most compassionate. They picked exactly that when they chose my grandfather for that job. It also makes me wonder if medics had the advantage as veterans in that...they were there to help people survive in the moment, rather than being there to kill the enemy. Maybe you come home feeling like you at least did something positive...I don't know. I don't doubt that the horrors still stick with you; that there's survivor's guilt just like anyone else would have...but I wonder if there's any solace in being tasked with saving people in war vs killing.

    What an incredible man. My grandfather was on Luzon -- he was an army medic. I can't even begin to imagine the things they would've seen. I didn't even know how extensive his time there had been. These videos give me the tiniest glimpse into what he might've gone through.

  • @BookishDark

    My greatuncle was in the war, around the same areas, I believe. He talked about how they came across of German soldiers. When the soldiers saw the Americans, they surrendered immediately. My greatuncle saw that they were young kids -- young teenagers. They cried when they saw the Americans -- they were farm boys, just like he was; they were hungry and scared. My greatuncles unit took their guns and then fed them.

    My grandfather was a medic in the Pacific. He died when I was eleven. Hearing men of this generation speak always makes me think of both of my grandfathers (the other died the same year). It hurts to see these voices slipping away. I'm so grateful for these videos -- they'll preserve a small piece of the incredible legacy they've left behind. Hearing him talk about how his medic being killed the next day...I still can't even begin to imagine the things he must've seen. This sweet man reminds me of my OTHER grandfather -- an old school Sicilian man from the Northeast. Gotta love them.

    Compte tenu des films ultraviolents que les jeunes voient depuis longtemps, je me demande si c'est judicieux de les montrer aujourd'hui. Il est évident que c'est encore une manipulation preelectorale.Les jeunes seront influencés...La première chose à faire serait de cesser de parler de droite et de gauche. ..

    My Grandfather was an American G.I. who lied about his age and drove an ambulance in a medical battalion. He occasionally told stories. He was on the Remagen bridge and watched an officer in a Jeep get the top hemisphere of his head removed. He saw a British Tommy jump off a tank and get his leg blown off (the bone is whiter than anything you can imagine), he had to dive into a hole to avoid incoming shells when someone turned on his blackout drive light in the dark, and he watched a beautiful German girl die in the operating room after the war was over because they didn't know about blood types and she was given the wrong kind of blood transfusion. 😢
