Regardless there are things they all agree on and I would like to see that get as much attention as the divisive stuff

I am proud to say the military often becomes the precursor to changes to society. I really don't know why. Maybe it's because we all bleed red and possibly because minority units have gained the respect they deserved. They earned it the hard way.

The Japanese Americans in the 442nd Infantry Regiment was highly publicized and recognized and rightly so. They accomplished all their missions despite the casualties they incurred.

However I would like to recognize the all African American 761st Tank in WWII: In October of 1944, the 761st tank battalion became the first African American tank battalion to see combat in World War II. And, by the end of the war, the Black Panthers had fought their way further east than nearly every other unit from the United States, receiving 391 decorations for heroism. They fought in France and Belgium, and were one of the first American battalions to meet the Russian Army in Austria. They also broke through Nazi Germany’s Siegfried line, allowing General George S. Patton‘s troops to enter Germany.

They earned their place in the annals of history through their blood, sweat, and tears. I am going to make a strong assumptions that should bullets start flying, there is no skin color on the left, right, and protecting your 6.

Obama and Biden had 8 years to improve race relations and they did nothing. They failed at every level. And now hypocrites are blaming President Trump. Just pathetic.
