Dang, Airborne, I thought you were going to chastise me for forgetting the Triple Nickels, the 555th Airborne Infantry Regiment. A bunch of those guys are still here in the Fort Bragg area.

Also we can throw in the Tank Destroyer Battalions of WW II, one of which had a book written about it with Michael Jordan as the coauthor.

Then there are the 4 Regiments, 2 Cav/2 Inf, of Buffalo Soldier fame who fought and died in the western expansion of our country. One regiment of which, charged up Kettle Hill in Cuba with Teddy and his Rough Riders. Black Jack Pershing got his start with them.

But why bother. If today's blacks want to claim their only history is slavery and then oppression by the white man well fine, let them stew in their own juices.

Me? I'll read every story about black history that comes my way because I love reading about all the history of this country, the good and the bad..

OOOhhhhhh man, how could I forget the Red Ball Express?

Tons of the drivers were black service troops, old B/W movie out there somewhere. Without them the race across France would have been stopped dead without supplies.

Darn, you sure know your history! I was in from 78-81, 11B (jump & hump)

Not all are like that. Just the ones the MSM give any notice to.
