Come to think of it, how many surviving members of the Tuskeegee Airmen or 442nd Infantry regiment are still with us? These guys (and the code-talkers) would’ve had every reason in the world to proverbially ‘sit this one out’ given how they had been wronged and marginalized, but they put their asses on the line for this country because they believed in something greater than themselves.

Seems like a far cry from today…
