I don't think that "Former Senator Strom Thurmond - apparently believes, along with Trent Lott, that America should have been a segregated society. Still, he served." fairly reflects Senator Thurmond's very distinguished military service.

To quote the USO:

Senator Strom Thurmond was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army in 1924, and was first elected to the South Carolina Senate in 1933. After one term, Senator Thurmond was elected to serve as a South Carolina Circuit Judge, where he served until volunteering for the Army during World War II. Thurmond fought in five battles, including the Normandy Invasion, and received 18 decorations, medals, and awards, including the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star for Valor, and the Legion of Merit With Oak Leaf Cluster. Senator Thurmond ultimately attained the rank of Major General in 1959.

Here's a picture of Senator Thurmond at the wheel of a German vehicle that he captured at Normandy, where he had glided in with the 82nd Airborne:

Re: that pic, I never have figured out how a single tire on the front of a bulldozer could steer the darned thing.

I din't write the list but in the future I'll delete Stroms name from it.

XBob, I don't think I've ever seen a similar list of the Dims.
