I failed to note that in several places in which these black liberators
went, some of the local people had never seen black men.
Imagine wasting away in a concentration camp, to hear the sound of an
American tank, then the smiling face of a black American soldier.
Freedom - it's never cheap. Let's remember those who helped secure it and
thank God for them.
