My father was a Silver Star recipient during the Korean War, he too face discrimination at home at least he could shoot back at the enemy in Korea. One event that my uncle recounted about my father was that he and a white soldier who he had fought with in Korea went to a bar in uniform. The bartender would not serve my father. The white soldier berated the bartender for not serving my father. He said “this man has been fighting for our country and was a hero and combat and you wont serve him here?” They left the bar and went to another place.
