The segregation was the big mistake taken for year in the military. Our 65th infantry based in PR National Guard was segregated in Korea.

True dat, Jesus--a very sad thing. They did not integrate until late in 1951.

I think he's kind of full of it. I've known about the 320th for well over 40 years. Now it's possible they are overlooked as there were alot of dying and wounded infantrymen taking the spotlight. I hate that our military was segregated, it was wrong.

So have I Trent! Check out my July 1992 essay in the "Journal of Military History" titled: "Recipe for Failure: Major General Edward M. Almond and the Preparation of the U.S. 92d Infantry Division for Combat in World War II," Vol. 56, No. 3, pp. 473-88. I was awarded the Moncado Prize for best essay in the Journal that year . . .
