Another World War 2 veteran has passed at the age of a 100. RIP. She was the last one left alive.

I am linked to Fox News channel 5 Las Vegas Nevada on Roku TV.

This was an all- black female postal battalion that deployed to England in World War 2.

Such a great history. I'm ashamed our Armed Forces were segregated at all. Thankfully, these ladies and men of those segregated units rose above that crap and served honorably and bravely.
