I agree. I once had a Tuskegee airman as a home patient. He was a true gentleman, educated, refined and classy. GMAs Robins Roberts’ father was a Tuskegee airman. I don’t like her political views, but she comes from a well respected family.
The old folks are nothing like the young Turks. 0bama can not hold a candle to any of these fine men.

Amen.
I am proud that they are going to have the opportunity to salute a black man as Commander in Chief, I can see the honor and sentiment for them in that. But by God, I wish it was another black man standing up there. You know?
Politics aside, this is a proud time for these brave men and I am proud of this fleet of military men and what they did for us. Different cut of the tree, that’s for sure.
My kids and I met several of the Tuskeegee Airmen when they were at The Cradle of Aviation Museum here on Long Island.
What nice, delightful and dignified gentlemen they were! And so happy that my then seven-year-old knew EXACTLY who they were and demonstrated a level of excitement that only seven year old boys can muster.
That said...I’m with the poster above who said he might very well vomit sometime before the 21st.

No kidding. I despise Obambi, but I can understand why these men would want to go to the inauguration. Too bad the first 'black' president doesn't have a 10th of the character of the Tuskegee Airmen.
