JC: MEMBERS OF THE
GREATEST
GENERATION HONORED FOR THEIR
SERVICE IN WORLD WAR II.
PHIL:
JANET WU HAS THE STORY.
♪ O SAY CAN YOU SEE ♪
JANET: IN FIVE YEARS THERE WILL
ONLY BE A HANDFUL, SO TODAY'S
HAVING WAS FULL OF PRIDE.
I AM CHOKED UP TONIGHT.
ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS, GOD BLESS
THIS COUNTRY.
I LEARNED THE
WORD RESPECT.
JANET:
THEY FOUGHT IN THE BATTLE
OF THE BOLTS, BLEW UP ENEMIES
SUBMARINES.
I LIBERATED TWO CONCENTRATION
CAMPS.
I LIVED IN A HOLE IN THE GROUND.
JANET:
THEY WERE STILL LOOK
ABOUT THEIR MORTALITY.
I DID NOT SEE THE WORST OF
IT.
OTHER FELLOWS
SAW MORE ACTION
THAN I DID.
I KEEP REMEMBERING THEM ALMOST
EVERY DAY.
JANET: AND THEY GAVE US THE
FOUNDATION UPON WHICH ALL OF US
NOW STAND.
THEIR VIEW OF THE FUTURE
AND
WHERE DO THINK THE WORLD HAS
GONE IN THE LAST 70 OR SOME ODD
DAYS? WE ARE ALL DONE.
THAT'S MY OPINION.
TODAY THERE IS A LOT OF HOPE
WITH THE YOUNG PEOPLE.
THEY REALLY HAVE VISION AND
INSIGHT.
