“Members of my family, now deceased, risked their lives and were wounded fighting in WW2. What did yours do?”
My dad was an officer in the 7th Army, HQ AAA battery, commanders Patton and Patch. North Africa, Sicily, Corsica, landed southern France in Operation Dragoon, north to Alsace and the Vosges, across the Rhine and into Germany. Nine months of continuous fighting from the day that they landed in France. Waiting for orders to the Pacific when the war ended. A tour in postwar Germany at 7th Army HQ Heidelberg. Staff and Command College Ft Leavenworth KS. Assigned to the Pentagon. A tour in Vietnam 1962-63 where he served with Patton’s son. More Pentagon duty. Retired in 1966. Awarded the Legion of Merit.
He’s 96 and still active in the Sons of the American Revolution, about a dozen ancestors who were either Continental Line or miltia, some killed during the war. He belongs to the Society of Colonial Wars. Huguenot Society. Sons of Confederate Veterans with an ancestor in the 13th Mississippi killed at Gettysburg- something for you to cheer about there. I’ll be sure to tell him that you think my family are Nazi sympathizers if you’d like.
They sure went wrong with you.
Nice try at confusing the issue. I said you are the Nazi sympathizer. Auschwitz, Treblinka, Dachau, Warsaw, Rotterdam, Coventry. The Krauts got off easy.As I said, tough sh!t for them.
