In March 1962 traveling from basic training in Ft Dix, NJ to Tank training at Knox,Ky.
I was "Refused entry" into a restaurant to eat, (I was dressed in military uniform)my buddy, also in US Army uniform, was told he could enter and order his meal. This event occurred in the State of Tennessee. (I'm Black, he's White) We both returned to the Bus, W/O getting anything to eat.
There were MANY situations in the Movie that I experienced, during my term from 1962 to Vietnam 67-68!!
