These fine men are a great example of overcoming hardship. We should idolize men like this instead of Snoop Dog & 2Pac.

These WWII vets are some of the finest men I ever met.

I met Mr. George Porter and Mr. Boyd Taylor today at a Peace Keepers event in Sacramento. It was an honor to be in their presence and I got to shake their hands and take a picture with them. I will never forget it. As a son, grandson and great grandson to 3 generation of soldiers in Vietnam, I salute all you Tuskegee Airmen! Most importantly you don't have to be African American to respect what you guys did. Thank you!

The lack of bitterness in these men is incredible; as much as their military accomplishments were.

this was an experiment design to fail. the whites were there not to teach but to make sure they did not fly. looking at a white the wrong way would get you booted from the experiment. at the end the experiment fail. the end result was the best super pilots the world has ever seen. i was so honored to have my picture taken with one of these pilots. god bless them.

@RoadCaptainEntertain I think if Snoop Dog and 2Pac would've have idolized men like this, they may have become better men. But they're a product of their environment (The Hood). It's not like they grew up in Beverly Hills.

I am not sure why you angry at me but what ever the case, I was answering to some white boys who tends to minimise the sacrifice black people made through out history and the courage they shower evn in the face of geeting lynched and treated unjustly. I am sure we share same views. I salute these men!

I salute these Red Tails for the honor courage and comment to their service during WWII. They really show that my Black Americans wanted to sacrafice their lives to defend our country. But now, I've got a President that's fucking up. Most of my fellow Black Americans saw history. But, all I see is an unknown person from outta nowhere spending money on bullshit and cutting military budgets. Thank you President Obama for fucking our country up and trying to make us look like cowards.
