"No kneelers"
what does that mean?
What sort of welcome home did the black soldiers get?
A better one than the Japs.What sort of welcome home did the black soldiers get?
Not sure about WWII returning soldiers ‘welcome home’ but the surely the families were proud and relieved for their safe return. I found my former army commander, Thomas Fuller who retired as a ‘bull’ Colonel with a quick search after posting the Iwo photo. Suffice it to say, Colonel Fuller was a hero and incredible leader in my eyes and a legend to those of us fortunate enough to serve under him. He was the intelligence officer responsible our collecting two American POWs from a NVA/Vietnam Cong camp under an extreme hostile environment. Race had nothing to do with it. JohnWe’ve all heard of the Tuskegee airmen.
True. At Arlington, they just buried the black dudes in a separate area altogether. Truman finally created "equal treatment in burial" for minority servicemen and women in 1948. Derp.Race isn’t included on the markers and headstones in our nations federal cemeteries.View attachment 105630

one of the best things about being an anonymous troll, like you are, is you can be ageless. and since you’re an unknown, we can only speculate why you’re ashamed of yourself. if anyone really cared...
there’s probably a good reason, right?

you can’t help yourself from trying to throw the race card into any situation.My dad came close. He graduated in 71 from MHS. I guess there was a lottery system at the time.
I graduated in ‘73 and a bunch of guys in my neighborhood 4 - 6 years older than me got drafted. Some didn’t make it back, some made it back damaged, some ok.my best friend’s oldest brother graduated highschool in 1969, as did a large bunch of the neighborhood greasers/hot rodders...
