True American heroes. The Tuskegee played a significant role in the de-segregation of the US armed forces, and eventually, the end of racial descrimination as official US govt policy. They also killed their fair share of nazis. My hat's off to 'em.

my dad (Wild_Bill_Kelso) works for the National Park Service and they are currently rebuilding the old training base in Georgia to make as a National Par. Its actually one of his projects.
