World War 2 Soldiers Most people don't realize that there was a great war between the years of 1941 and 1945. Over the course of those years thousands of people were killed. And most of them were between the ages of 19 and 21. They had so much of their lives in front of them but yet they decided to risk their lives to save our country. If it hadn't been for them most of us wouldn't be here today. They fought for our country and our freedom. So I ask that if you take a few moments and think about what these people did that was so special. And next time you hear something about the war don't just blow it off. Pay attention because we have a lot to thank them for. If you are interested in the war Please keep reading the site. Soldiers of World War 2 Below are a few of the many soldiers that fought in WWII.

E-Mail me at [email protected] If We Would Have Lost If we would have lost the war may things would have been different for us. Many of us would not be here today. We wouldn?t have the government that we have today. We wouldn?t have any rights and we would be under German rule.
