TUSKEGEE

The Tuskegee Airmen flew P51 mustangs during WWII and in the European Theater the tails of their planes were painted red. The red tail was the signature of the 332nd Fighter Squadron. Their mission was to escort the B-17s in combat and escort they did. These were the Tuskegee Airmen.

Truly the best of best. I thank all of the Tuskegee Airmen for their service. I cannot imagine the all the racism they endured just to protect a country that hated them. As a black man I and a Iraq War veteran I want to thank you all for showing the world that we can do anything if given a fair chance

War is a dirty business, with that being said my grandfather was a mehanic for the Red Tails, I myself am a graduate of Tuskegee University. I'm also a USMC officer. I'm very proud of all those that went before me, and open the doors so that I can walk through them.

I taught a man named Ed Willette how to use his Nook color ereader out side of dayton ohio. He comes to every nook night at the Barnes and Noble and brought me an autograph of him and Barack Obama. I felt so happy and useless at the same time. I have two degrees and make very little money. I'm joining the Marines as an officer or Air-force if the Marines don't work out. I feel like its the right thing to do. Maybe I

My respect is valid for all pilots of all nations,

everybody for himself believed right for your country to act and, besides, so courageously and proudly fulfilled your duty.

I had a coincidence.My father's 5th bomb Wing (B-17 463rd BG) was escorted on several occasions by the 332nd FG.One time was on July 18th,1944.Last month I walked across the street to talk to my neighbor and his friend's stepdad was a Hugh St.Clair Warner who shot down a Me-109 on July 18th,1944.I was amazed.His friend has a few pictures of Lt.Warner and his P-51 which I still need to see.

the tuskegee airmen overcame racism by their courage in battle and put a hell of a whipping on the Luffwaffe and never lost a bomber under their protection. To skip1lp your grandfather deserves credit in their sucess. I was honored to meet a surviving member of the tuskegee airmen at an air show in Columbus,Ga years ago.
