Re: Obama: My uncle liberated … Auschwitz?

Sure enough, back in 2002, he made (roughly) the same claim. Odd that he wouldn't have figured this out back then.

Barack Obama's Iraq Speech - Wikisource

Quote:
My grandfather signed up for a war the day after Pearl Harbor was bombed, fought in Patton’s army. He saw the dead and dying across the fields of Europe; he heard the stories of fellow troops who first entered Auschwitz and Treblinka. He fought in the name of a larger freedom, part of that arsenal of democracy that triumphed over evil, and he did not fight in vain.
