As of 2025, it is estimated that less than 0.5% of American World War Two Veterans are still with us; these are their FINAL stories. They lived during the roaring twenties, grew up during the Great Depression, and were called upon to defend our Nation during its greatest hour of Need. The United States was not the most powerful nation in the world back then and the future was uncertain. From being at Pearl Harbor when the war unexpectedly came to America that Sunday morning on December 7th, 1941, to women working at factories becoming an essential part of the war - to men parachuting into Normandy hours before the D-Day attacks on the beaches began. It has taken years to compile these stories, for you. These are the exact words as they came from these Heroes, they take comfort knowing that they are available for future Generations of Americans to read.
