<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2972310, member: 71723&quot;]My uncle, now 99 years old (100 in April), OF GERMANIC heritage, shot Germans and took a shrapnel wound at the train station during the Battle of the Bulge FROM Germans. Here&#039;s the big difference - we never thought of ourselves as anything other than American. We never hyphenated. And we never identified as anything other than pure 100% American culturally. We played no German music, we did no German dance (Is there such a thing? LOL!). We kept no German &quot;stuff&quot;. We wore no German hats. We had no German Pride parades. Is that okay?</p><p><br /></p><p>We go all patriotic on ONE day - July 4.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
