AlamoPA Mailing List: Burial at sea.....WW2

[M.J. Trebenskie (skie999]

Looking at this video makes one realize what so many did for our generation and country.

Then look at today's society and how so many think they are entitled to so much for doing so little. It is more than upsetting.

This is a very touching video, actually a piece of film that has been made into a video, this is one that is NOT Photo-shopped,

it's real.

Notice in the opening shot of the plane landing on the carrier deck the gunner's position is all shot to hell while the pilot's

cockpit ahead of it is undamaged.

Later on notice the corpsman taking a fingerprint of the deceased gunner, before the film continues, then shows the chaplain

saying final prayers, followed by taps, then the sailors push the aircraft and this young airman over the side and watch it sink

into the sea.

This is what 18 year old "kids" were doing in 1944.  No safe spaces, no hurtful unthinkable remarks that they couldn't cope with,

just dying for their country so the ungrateful, uninformed, indoctrinated snowflakes of today could act like fools decades later.

A pretty moving 2 minute video that’s worth your while.  "What actually made this country great are ordinary guys and women like

this doing extraordinary things.”
