Tuskegee Airmen

It is indeed refreshing to find a photo of the Tuskegee airmen I haven't seen. A reminder of men who excelled in the face of adversity. For despite all the challenges they knew this was a country worth fighting and dying for!

 

Tuskegee

I was fortunate enough to have worked with a guy who flew with the 332nd. He was never bitter about any race issue in the military. He was just dang proud to have done something for his country. He also said the planes were a blast to fly. I salute the group, and all vets, this holiday weekend.
