Salute to American WWII Heroes

Rating: 9/10 (14 August 2005)

I just watched The Great Raid in the theater in this afternoon. I couldn't be more touched by the story, and the movie confirmed my respect to the American troops for their contribution and sacrifice. I am a Chinese. In China, we were taught to remember the horrible atrocity that Japanese army committed to us during their mass invasion into China in WWII. However the Communist Party claimed that they were the liberator of Chinese people and Americans joined the war because they just wanted to benefit from the war by selling weapons and taking control. After I came to America, I learned and heard more stories about WWII. Not long, I realized that that was a despicable lie. It was Americans that made the greatest sacrifice of lives and blood, saved us from being slaves and brought the peace to us. Without American troops fighting against Japanese and Germans, no nation could ever take them out from our map and nobody could imagine how long we had to be slaves for them. Americans gained nothing but greatest honor from the people around world for their engaging in WWII. Nowadays, the United States have possessed the most powerful military force and political influence in the world. I hope that today's young Americans remember their WWII heroes as much as we do, they will continue to stand for liberty, justice, humanity and freedom in front of the world, just like their grandfathers!
