Born, raised and will die here. People wonder how anyone can live here, just look at these outrageously, unbelievabley amazing pictures and you can see why. After all, a picture is worth a thousand woids! I remember when helicopters landed on top of the "Pan Am Building", now the Met Life building. The pictures of the beginnings of the rebuild of the Trade Centers should be retaken. Holy Cow, you should see them now! God Bless America and New York City! Never Forget!

Several of these pictures show LCIs in the thick of things.

Thanks to the Denver Post for keeping this website up and running.... many <most> of the younger generations have no idea about the trials and tribulations of the Greatest Generation and World War II..... these photos vividly tell the story far better than a person reading a history book or magazine article. A bouquet of roses to the Denver Post owners, managers and people who selected these photos to preserve the memories of those who are leaving us and to inform those who almost see WW II like the Crusades, i.e. something long ago that they cannot relate to. Cheers to the Denver Post.</most>

Thank you so much for the memories. I love New York. I missed seeing the GW Bridge but love the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges. One of my favorite buildings, the Chrysler Building, is still very beautiful.

My uncle was on shore as his ship sank in Pearl harbor from the raid. He had a gagrage and worked on cars after the war. I remember he wouldn't work on the Japanese cars that were then becoming popular in the 1970's. He would tell them to take them down the road where they bought them.

I did a pen and ink rendering of the William Livingstone House based on this photograph about a year ago, and only recently discovered the entire collection. I love it.

one of the wonders of the world, I visited this great structure in 1976 and was in awe of the scale of the project, a truly magnificent feat of engineering and an example of what man can achieve.

I don't want to take away any honor due the US military, but how many people who have never seen combat have similar problems? More to my point, how do we know that some problems are caused more by combat than legal or illegal drug use?

Excellent job. I hope Scott is able to find his niche and feel peace on a regular basis. I can see why there are certain places for him to be able to find that peace. Thanks so much for the article and amazing photos.

Wow. These are so sad. It would be interesting to see pictures of these places in their glorious day. Curious, though, why were the library books get moved to a different library? And why are there files strewn on the floor in the police dept?

My father was in on the Peliliu invasion. He was in the Pacific for 36 months after the war started. He saw action on Guadalcanal, Peliliu, and Tarwara. God bless them all, The Greatest Genration.

Thanks to Scott, and to Craig and the Denver Post, for telling this important story reminding us of the true cost of war. In Joseph Campbell's, The Hero with a Thousand Faces, he describes the essence of the hero and the important role they play in life of humanity: "His second solemn task and deed therefore is to return then to us, transfigured, and the teach the lesson he has learned of life renewed." Real heroes never seek to take credit for their achievement, it is for those of us who observe, and are changed by, their deeds who value their contribution to our own lives. Thank you.

This is the best collection I have ever seen! Truly amazing! My father lost his brother on titanic ship, REV. JUOZAS MONTVILA, 27 years of age CATHOLIC PRIEST. IN LITHUANIA he was not permitted do services as to his religion by new take over of it's country's government. Religion of any type was not remmitted. He made arrangements to come to USA, the freedom land where he would go to WORCHESTER, MASS. St. FRANCIS CHURCH! First he would visit with his brother Peter in Brooklyn, NY. NONE of this ever happened. REV. JUOZAS GAVE UP HIS LIFE VEST TO ANOTHER PASSENGER. HE ALSO GAVE UP PLACE IN LIFE BOAT. HE CALMED THE PASSANGERS AND HEARD CONFESSIONS. HIS BODY WAS NOT RECOVERED.

That IS racist, as well as ignorant, uninformed, uneducated, elitist, narrow-minded, and foolish.
