My father was in Patton's army, fought Battle of the Bulge, crawled thru Europe for 2 yrs, & when a French bakery refused him & his soldier buddy bread though their money was on the counter, they politely raised their guns & asked again.. #MemorialDay 
They weren't cowboys. They stood in a long line of customers, waiting their turn. The guy refused to serve them after they just helped save his country. He never talked about the war, he told me this to explain why he wouldn't go 2 France. He should have gone back 2 that bakery!
My father's army unit was first in to liberate Buchenwald concentration camp. He had a camera during the war (probably got it in battle, it was a Hasselblad). For any holocaust deniers, I have photographs..Even for those who made it back, life was never the same. Thank you all.
By the way, he went to basic training in Mississippi. He said the people down there treated him (Jewish) worse than the Germans would have.
