This is so beautiful. Proof that men can be respectful, even in war. My grandfather was a P-51 mustang pilot who flew 49 missions over Europe. Before he passed away in 2015 at the age of 94 he told me so many stories of being in dog fights with the German pilots. He said some of those pilots were SO good and he's lucky he survived. I wish he was still here so I could show him this. 😊

I recently found out my uncle was a paratrooper WWII, shot & killed as he jumped from the plane. Bless this man for being spared and the soldier who spared him.

He was a good pilot, but he was an even better man, because he kept his humanity at a time when many others, on all sides, plunged deeply into hatred, savagery and war crimes.

Truly incredible human beings. Both of them. I'm so glad he was able to speak to the man himself instead of his head stone.

That's the equivalent of "My shift is already done" in military terms.

To be able to reunite and share their incredible story of what they went through together is so special. Another reminder that we can never let these conflicts be repeated. It’s time to have peace on our earth until the end of time.
