This is from my friend Tim Kolczak. A veteran who runs @theveteransproject. Tim does incredible work that you won't find anywhere. He also co-host the podcast from time to time. Give him a follow. 🇺🇸 #Repost @theveteransproject ・・・ “There was no ticker tape parade when we got back from the war. We just got back to work. That's how we were raised. My wife and I had some rough years because of what I went through. I was glad to be home, though. I taught myself how to do everything with that one hand. I really didn't talk about what happened over there for about 50 years. I didn't join any of the American Legion or VFW groups. Most of us just shut it out and didn't talk about it. I canceled all of my time over there out of my brain or I tried to anyways. Some things just stay with you. It doesn't really bother me to think about it anymore. I was glad when they dropped the bomb. I hate those Japanese bastards. Pardon my language but that's how I feel about those animals. They had no respect for anybody or anything.”—SSG Alfred Haws (Army, WWII Veteran) #TheVeteransProject #GlobalReconPodcast #WW2 #bataandeathmarch #Veteran #POW #BadAss #TheGreatestGeneration

I just learned about the insane story of NFL star Jack Jacobs who was forced to eat monkeys to survive during the Bataan Death March in WW2. Jacobs was a fullback for the Cleveland Rams before enlisting in the US Army and was captured by the Japanese in 1942. He endured unimaginable hardships including starvation, disease, and brutal treatment by his captors. To stay alive, Jacobs and his fellow prisoners resorted to hunting and eating monkeys that lived in the surrounding area. Jacobs story is a testament to the human spirit and a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought in WW2watch full video: https://youtu.be/cZD1uvqkYTg?list=PLjBgcvtYPpOTA2xfMbOFC0dVi1EwYIYvT

I just learned about the most insane story of NFL star Joe E. Wise who was a prisoner of war during WW2 and was forced to march in the Bataan Death March. The conditions were so harsh that he and other soldiers had to eat MONKEYS just to survive. Like can you even imagine having to do that? The story is both heartbreaking and fascinating at the same time. Wise was a talented athlete who played for the Philadelphia Eagles but his experience during the war is what really defines his story. I have so much respect for those who have served and sacrificed so much. The Bataan Death March was one of the worst atrocities committed during WW2 and its crazy to think about how these soldiers were treated. Anyways, just had to share this wild story with you guyswatch full video: https://youtu.be/cZD1uvqkYTg?list=PLjBgcvtYPpOTA2xfMbOFC0dVi1EwYIYvT

I just learned about the wildest story of NFL player Joe Steele who was a prisoner of war during WW2 and had to survive the infamous Bataan Death March. He resorted to eating monkeys to stay alive and it honestly puts things into perspective for me. The struggles we face are nothing compared to what our ancestors went through. Anyways, rest in peace Joe Steele, your story will never be forgottenwatch full video: https://youtu.be/cZD1uvqkYTg?list=PLjBgcvtYPpOTA2xfMbOFC0dVi1EwYIYvT
