Summary
At just 28, Rishi Sharma has spent a decade interviewing over 3,000 WWII veterans—driving across the country, fueled by donations and a deep belief that these heroes’ stories are the moral heartbeat of America. With no military background himself, he’s chasing down every last survivor before time runs out, capturing their voices for families and future generations. His latest sit-down with 100-year-old Marine Nils Mockler, who fought at Iwo Jima, underscores why these stories matter more than ever—especially as we near pivotal national anniversaries. Rishi’s Remember WWII project isn’t just history; it’s a living legacy of sacrifice, wisdom, and the unshakable foundation of the nation we have today.
