Never have so many owed so much to so few!!! Thanks for being part of the Greatest Generation Mr. Fletcher and you were as equal than as you are now. Just because they didn't recognize it or treat you that way doesn't change that fact that you were and are equal! I'm very fortunate enough to live in a small town where we are honored to have a Tuskegee Airman still living among us. A frail humble grey little 96 year man who I see as walking history. I've said Thanks for your service in helping save the world in WWII numerous times. And if I saw Mr Brooks today I would tell him the same thing. Not because I thought he forgot, I just never ever want him to think that I forgot! God Bless our Greatest Generation because soon they will all be gone!

It's sad how black soldiers fought and died for the freedom of this country but this same country denied the freedom of these same soldiers. These types of people deserve there flowers while they can still smell them. Salute to Mr. Fletcher, a real true hero

We can teach he was given the purple heart in 2021, we cannot teach that he was denied the purple heart due to bigotry during WW2.

I'm saddened and angry that these men had to even wait for what they earned 76 years ago. It's shameful that my country has or had these sick values. If I were the soldier bringing that purple heart I couldn't do it without sincerely apologizing and humbling myself to be in his presence. Critical Race THEORY? How about just teach the harsh, ugly truth!

Any World War 2 veteran that is still alive has to be at least 94 years old.
