I don’t know that you remember me but I was your dentist for years. I had no idea that you where an Airman! The story of the Tuskegee Airmen is one of the most important ones of the world war two era. I would have loved to talk about that with you.
Thank you for your impressive service to our country so many years ago. Belated congratulations on the award of the Tuskegee Airman metal.
