Tuskegee Airmen to be at Veterans’ Day Event Through the efforts of Dr. Robert Scott and staffers Ted Clements and Tom Steck, and the College’s Committee on Diversity and Educational Equity, the veter an’s celebration will include a pro gram presented by representatives of the Tuskegee Airmen’s east Coast chapter located in Washington, D.C. The program will begin Nov. 11 at noon at the flagpole located in front of the Olmsted Building. A ceremony will commence with the lowering of the American flag, a “military retreat,” to honor all vet erans. An Honor Guard from the Pa. Air National Guard will then present the flag to the Tuskegee Airmen. A bugler from the Pa. Air National Guard will play Taps dur- ing the ceremony. Following the flag presentation, the Tuskegee Airmen will share their personal stories of World War II in the Olmsted Auditorium. Also, on Nov. 9 at 7 p.m., Ted Clements, a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel and Vietnam veteran, will host a showing of the movie “The Tuskegee Airmen” in the Olmsted Auditorium. In 1941, the then-segregated U.S. Army began a program in Alabama to train black Americans as military pilots. The movie por trays the rigid pattern of racial seg regation that prevailed in the U.S. during World War II where 1,000 aviators were trained as Tuskegee Airmen. One of the most decorated fly ing units of the war, Tuskegee Airmen is the term used to describe the black fighter pilots of the 99th Pursuit Squadron, later incorporated into the 32nd Fighter Group, who were trained at Tuskegee Army Air Field in Alabama. More than 450 black fighter pilots eventually fought in the war over North Africa, Sicily and Europe, flying in succession, P-40, P-39, P-47, and P-51 aircraft. The Tuskegee Airmen gained a stellar reputation for never losing a bomber to enemy fire while flying bomber escort. The legacy of the Tuskegee You buy a $2O card. You get $2O worth of wireless calls.
