Forth of July

African Americans entered the MARINE CORP three years after World War II started. The MARINE CORP ended its 167 year ban on including Blacks and finally enlisted its first black Marines in 1942. Records showed that about 17,000 African American Marines served in World War II but were mostly assigned to service units such as depot and ammunition companies.

Let us not forget, this holiday is about all Americans and our belief in the core values of this nation. And let us not forget the men and women of all color, that are standing on that wall for so that that freedom continues to rings. Our prayers are with the men and women and their families that are giving and have given up so much (many their very life) for this dream that is America.
