Where did America find all the fine young men, who gave us our freedom. And they gave all they had and more. THANKS.

I don't think the contributions and sacrifices of the 761st tank battalion, The Tuskegee Airmen, and the Buffallo Soldiers, to name but a few, can ever be summed up in words. Thank you warriors & trailblazers. You are not forgotten.
