#2 Ref: The Photo of Private L.C. Byrd ... World War II ...

Pvt. L.C. Byrd was later killed on November 9, 1944, while serving with the 761st Tank Battalion in France.

Despite everything, the Racist Democrats were doing to hurt Black Americas in the 1940's. He still joined the Military to Fight for his country and died doing so.

QUESTION
When will we bring home the bodies of our solders that were buried in Europe during WWII and rejoin them with their family here.

#3 ^ We probably won't. When eurineland goes majority muzz, those graves will be desecrated, and unless something in the USA changes soon, there will be a permanent progressive gummint here which will do nothing about it.

#4 Last time, my father toured his brother grave in France.
They had dedicated Frenchmen providing family directions to the grave. The guy knew the location off the top of his head. My father inquired and he told my father bluntly.

He something like....
These men died saving me and France, I owe them.

2 years later, Socialist direction moving France kicked out the US Military and families. Took over $$ Billions of recently renovated family quarters and installations.

So what do you think happened to the care of the 9,300+/- US service member graves?

#8 To allege that the French quit caring for US service member graves is utter nonsense.

#12 The picture of FDR and Churchill in the tower viewing the Atlas Mountains after the conference prompted a memory of my Dad complaining about the "goddam stairs being too narrow". He was one of the Secret Service Agents in the Presidential Detail at the conference and they had to carry FDR up the stairs to view that scenery. He spent the whole war with FDR and was at Warm Springs when he died, and then was with Truman at Potsdam. Tall guy in the back of the plane!
