This wonderful patriotic hero deserves to have more media coverage that the communist mulatto in the White House...this is a real American, not a pretender who incites riots and the killing of police officers!

I talked to one of the wives at an air show one time and she said the pilots came back to terrible racism. They went from being respected servicemen who protected the bomber crews, to the back of the bus.

She said, when her husband got back it was back to “Shine my shoes, boy!”

It breaks my heart to think of the great men of this unit who protected so many American lives to come back to the sad racism of America and be shunned, oppressed, marginalized, mistreated.

They deserved so much better.

So true. These men dealt with real, vicious racism.

I wish I had been around when they came home from service so that I could have had the honor to invite them into my home or business.
