This is FYM material, he had a FANTASTIC special about African American soldiers in Italy during WWII and their heroism. Some were awarded the Medal Of Honor (I don't think that's the correct name, whatever the highest award is) posthumously except for one soldier who was still alive - in 1997 by President Clinton
I can't remember the soldier's name and I can' t find anything on NBC web site, etc
It is a complete disgrace that those soldiers faced blatant racism from their own military. When asked why they performed the way they did in the face of that racism, he said it was the only country they had. They were real heroes. Colin Powell was interviewed in the special and spoke of how he owed his military career to those men.
If anyone saw the special and can remember his name, I'd really appreciate it. I'm so ashamed that I can't remember.
