At 3:04 it says "America First". How things have changed for the worse. :(

God bless the memories of those wonderful men who fought (and died) before I was even born.

My given name is Pierrette, named after an uncle (Pierre) who fought and died in France during WWII.

Yes, he died during the Nazi occupation. I am not sure exactly when he died, but I know he was killed fighting for France.
