Highly recommend taking the time to look at this outstanding photo essay about the most significant event in the lives of many of us, our parents, and grandparents.

The timing is appropriate, as we near Veterans Day, to offer our heartfelt thanks to all those who served in this, and all other wars.

Awesome!

My grandfather was in WWII. I wish he were still alive so I could talk to him about it. I was too young/naive/ignorant to appreciate what he was a part of during our time together. My father was in Vietnam, but he won’t say much about it whenever I try to get him to talk about it.

World War II is the story of the 20th Century. The war officially lasted from 1939 until 1945, but the causes of the conflict and its horrible aftermath reverberated for decades in either direction.

Interesting photos, but it would be more accurate to lead-off the story with "The Great War is the story of the 20th Century. The war officially lasted from 1914 until 1918, but the causes of the conflict and its horrible aftermath reverberated for decades in either direction. "

Europe never recovered from The Great War.
