One of our customers at a previous job was a rather annoying man with a weird personality, always asking for freebies and discounts, but we were truly honored to have him as a client. He landed at Omaha beach, later in the day after the first wave. He was in the battle of the bulge, and one of just two survivors in his platoon, with the other survivor badly injured. He said the frozen bodies stacked up like cord wood haunted him in his dreams all his life. When I watch movies like Band of Brothers and see the TV version of the Battle of the bulge it looks horrible, and I honestly can't imagine what they went through.
We always shook his hand, and thanked him for his service. He usually replied, he had no choice, he was drafted and did not want to be there, but he just did his job.
