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.
