Frank E. Petersen, First Black General in Marines, Dies at 83

[ThunderKiss1965]

People talk about the hardships minorities face today. They are nothing compared to what this great man had to put up with and still he overcame every obstacle and retired a 3 Star,
R.I.P Marine.

Personally I think Marine General Peterson would cringe at the whiny references to "bruising racial indignities" in his obituary rather than his skills and accomplishments as a man and a Marine but that's the way the left seems to view the world these days.
