God bless each and every one, only a few left.
A handful of years back I was at our Seattle Museum of Flight looking at the Tuskegee Airmen exhibit and on my way out I noticed a African American gentleman sitting on a nearby bench with a Tuskegee Airman hat on. At the time I just assumed he was a fellow aviation fan, honoring the Tuskegee Airmen. It wasn't until one year I was looking at a reunion photo of the surviving members and I recognized one of them as the man sitting on that bench.
It haunts me to this day that I didn't think to ask him if he was one. I would have given anything to shake the man's hand and listen to anything he wanted to share with me.
