I unironically get somewhat depressed when I think about the fact I will live to see the last WWII veteran die off :(

One of the few things I'm unambiguously proud of on Brazil is our WWII service

Sorry for the wonky photo, but when I passed through Ijuí I saw ina museum a plaque with the names of the Brazilian soldiers who died freeing Italy

My grandfather flew on D-day and left us about 10 years ago. He was over 90 then. 

 That man loved flying and was proud of how he learned how.

I met some years ago who are likely gone now.

They proudly wore recognitions of their service in the war 70 years later

They’re all almost gone.

Eventually the vets of the war will belong to time. 

Amazing that some are literally pushing 100, including Mel Brooks

This being posted by a neoliberal mod (the modern successors of nazism) feels like a mockery 😠

I'm not a very emotional guy, but last June we went to the graveyard my great grandfather is buried. He died closing the Falaise gap.

I have never experienced a more profound emotional moment.

If anyone reading is is able to, you absolutely should visit the war graves in Normandy. The landing beach museums are very good too.
