Aero-News Quote of the Day

"I believe Tuskegee Airmen Commemoration Day is as important as many of the nation's holidays and recognition days on the calendar and is essential to the legacy. Like many holidays, the struggle to get Tuskegee Airmen Commemoration Day on state calendars is dependent on individual states and not the accomplishments of the more than 15,000 Original Tuskegee Airmen." 

Source: Jerry 'Hawk' Burton, the national president of Tuskegee Airmen Incorporated, explainng that the day of remembrance should come to mind alongside any other calendared holiday in the public's eye.
