    …What about the “771st Tank Destroyer Battalion”, an all-Black army tank unit that was on the front lines, in the heat of the battle with the German Nazis, in Europe during WWII?…These guys were so good, even the Nazis gave them props for the incredible tank maneuvers and shooting skills!….Black soldiers were also the first ones to reach the Nazi concentration camps…

    …This website ain’t big enough to detail all of the military contributions Black people have given and continue to give this phucking country!!……

    I would like to salute to ALL our Black soldiers today *whatever division)and those who were forgotten in the history of ALL the wars and their relatives (I had some great heroes in my family,too); Turkeegee, that one sailor from WW2, the 1861 guys in Boston…..those guys were great, heroic, macho (unlike that macho s**t on those movies today)..they make the Hollyweird-I mean wood heros look like Pee Wee Herman!
    Salute to all who served (then and now), and to the Blacks-the forgotten heroes…..
