| The General |
A graduate of the Tuskegee Institute, he helped train pilots
for the all-black 99th Pursuit Squadron during World War II. He would finally
see action during the Korean and Vietnam Wars and he distinguished
himself...literally. He won a Distinguished Service Medal, a Distinguished
Flying Cross and a Legion of Merit for his feats of aerial acrobatics and
unflinching bravery.
He would eventually become the first African American
Four-Star General, paving the way for others. He was a damn fine pilot and an
even better man as seen by the even longer list of civilian awards he has
received.
Greatest Quote
"Nobody dislikes war more than warriors."
