Tuskegee Airman receive deserved honor ... BELATEDLY!

President Bush saluted the Tuskegee Airmen today, roughly six decades after they completed their World War II mission only to return home to face another -- discrimination against them because they were black. As President Bush remarked, while presenting the group of legendary black aviators with Congressional Gold Medals — the most prestigious Congress has to offer, "[t]hese men in our presence felt a special sense of urgency. They were fighting two wars. One was in Europe and the other took place in the hearts and minds of our citizens. ... Even the Nazis asked why African American men would fight for a country that treated them so unfairly."

Well, Nazis or no Nazis, it is NEVER too LATE to RIGHT a WRONG; and it is so gratifying to see these Brave Warriors receive the recognition that is due them -- even if the same came so BELATEDLY.
