Barack Obama has reserved seats for the Tuskegee Airmen on the Capitol lawn
to honor "their role in breaking down racial barriers in the United States decades before the civil rights era".
A heroes' welcome is planned.
Well, my dad had a different opinion.
You see, Dad was a US Army Air Corps bomber pilot in Europe and Northern Africa during WW II. Dad did not like having the Tuskegee Airmen as fighter escorts on his missions. Why? Because when German fighters appeared, the TA escort disappeared.
Revisionist history be damned.
