Our Grandfather is Donald J. Watt and on July 7, 2014 he turned 90 years old. Grandpa fought in the Battle of the Bulge and carries the scars to this day. He is humble about is WWII service, but for many years of his life he went back for reunions with his life long buddies he met in the war. Those guys were so important to he and grandma.
He has lived a good life, worked hard after the war, raised a family and never left them. He still lives at home and drives his own car to buy groceries, go to church and the Veterans hall. We wanted to do something to let him know how much we appreciate him and how much he has influenced who we are today. I think making sure his generation understands that our generation will tell their story in the future is important. We are sibling, 16, 18 and 22 and together we wrote this song with our Mom and put it to a series of pictures from Grandpa's life. The video not only shows grandpa's life but we wanted it to honor current veterans as well so we included so many scenes of the military. We hope that the video has an impact on you and inspires you to thank a Vet today.
You can find the video on Youtube by searching "I'll Honor You - Nathan Watt" in order to see our 90th birthday gift to Grandpa. This video is a family project with my Mother and sisters McKenzie and Hannah, we wrote the words, recorded and sang the music. This is tribute to our grandfather and to all military men and women. Our mother and other grandfather are also pictured in the video because they both served as well. We hope that others will go find the video "Ill Honor You - Nathan Watt" and share it with all the military friends they have. Happy Birthday Grandpa we hope we can write you another song at 100!
