The men who fought for a country that did not even receive basic needs, showed what dignity was.. The Tuskegee Airman, the Montfort Point Marines and Army tankers, as well as those who in support service’s truck battalions were the men who were the base of the Civil Rights Movement. They were treated better by people in Europe, then they came home to the discrimination they now understood had always been wrong. RIP General.. May your spirit live on..
You did your job and I thank you Sir, fly high and rest in peace....Your service is appreciated, thank you for breaking barriers ❤❤❤
