And to me, the wonderful thing is that each young man was already a certified pilot when they arrived at Tuskegee. Such accomplishment from these young black men. And they NOW are not to be mentioned??? Sickening! It shows what a weak person is now president.
Thank you for that! So busy rooting for KC I missed knowing that. Whew!
You could see the intelligence, wisdom and lived experience in his eyes.
Even weakened by age, he was truly a STRONG man.
Exact opposite of Mr. Bone Spurs, a WEAK man playing at being strong.
Don't know for a fact, but considering the racism they faced, amazing men
Under Patton
Come out fighting
