        These brave men fought, bled and died to preserve what this administration is hell-bent on destroying. I am glad my father, who served under Patton ETO, did not live to see the current state of America.

        Their courage brings me to tears just looking at the photos. I am ashamed of my country right now. It would have broken my father's heart.

        Inspiring to remember that of 130 million Americans in 1941, 16 million would put on a uniform; sad and haunting to think about how many of these young men wouldn't survive that fateful day.

        So young. Thrown into a world war. They held and never broke. These were ordinary young Americans in extraordinary circumstances. THIS is who we are.

        I see on the far right that there's a black soldier in this photo. But the U.S. military was racially segregated in 1944. It would be interesting to know then how a black soldier got into this photograph. Does anyone have an explanation for it?

        Some black troops were truck drivers. Maybe this guy?

        Thanks. That's a good speculation. Probably was that, or something like that.

        By 1944 the Army couldn't find enough infantrymen so draft boards started taking people like my dad. He was 27, married with 3 kids & drafted. He was an old man in a young man's war as the typical soldier was around 19.
