December 7, 1941.

It was a day of infamy for our country unlike any other.

16 million Americans would answer the call.

Many years later, they would be known as the greatest generation.

I don't know what you were doing when you were 21, but I...

I wouldn't consider myself a part of any good generation let alone greatest generation.

The average age of World War II combat troop on D-Day was 19 to 26 years old.

Today the average age for those brave men and women is 92.

500 veterans from our greatest generation die every day.

And today there are only about half a million World War II veterans still alive.

That's 500,000 stories that soon will be gone for good.

This was the thought that was rolling around and bouncing off Rishi Sharma's head when he was just a sophomore in high school.

He began writing his bike to retirement homes.

He started talking to veterans.

He started documenting every single unique story that he could one by one.

But the scope of this mission was just too big for a high schoolers limited means.

So he started to go fund me account in 2016 and he raised nearly $200,000.

Ever since then Rishi has traveled to 47 different states, Canada and the United Kingdom.

His mission is to interview at least one World War II combat veteran every day until the last one passes away.

He's 21 years old.
