It’s About Time They Were Honored

The Tuskegee airmen were finally honored in Tuskegee, AL, where the grounds/field they trained on during WWII became a National Historical Site. You can read the AP article here.

An interpretive center was also opened in a hangar at the site. In a surprise announcement, Gov. Bob Riley unveiled a huge green and white sign designating part of I-85 as the “Tuskegee Airmen Memorial Highway.”

It’s about time these airmen were honored. Most are in their 80s. Some have recently died, not seeing this memorial come to fruition.

May G-d bless them all, wherever they may be.
