Honor, Courage, Legacy, US...
This Memorial Day, we honor the courage, sacrifice, and legacy of African American soldiers who have served this country through every generation of history.
From the Buffalo Soldiers to the Tuskegee Airmen, Black servicemen and women helped shape the strength of the United States military while overcoming barriers both on and off the battlefield.
Did you know?
• African Americans have served in every American war since the Revolutionary War.
• The Buffalo Soldiers, established in 1866, became one of the most respected regiments in U.S. military history.
• The Tuskegee Airmen were the first Black military aviators in the U.S. Army Air Corps and played a major role during World War II.
• More than 1 million African Americans served during WWII alone.
• Their service and sacrifice helped lead to the desegregation of the U.S. Armed Forces in 1948.
Today we remember not only their service, but their resilience, patriotism, and enduring contribution to American history.
Honor. Courage. Legacy. 🇺🇸
