"In 2007, the Tuskegee Airmen received the highest American civilian honor – the Congressional Gold Medal bestowed by the United States Congress. It is the highest expression of national appreciation for distinguished achievements and contributions. The Tuskegee Airmen received the medal as a 300-strong collective group, appearing at the U.S. Capitol to be honored by then President George W. Bush and Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi. The medal is on display at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History & Culture in Washington, D.C."the point was that they are not forgotten, and that fk posts fake news. I posted that out of respect for their service and what they did to show how blacks supported and wanted to fight to make a better country and kneeling means they're kneeling at their bravery.
Thank you for that post of respect for them, but through your post you have proven they are NOT forgotten. They are slowly becoming that way, though. I am not even sure if they are still taught in school...sadly.
You know, if they had been a white squadron, they would have gotten their awards back in the 1940's and 1950's, and wouldn't have had to wait until 2007 to be recognized.
