World War II US Oldest Veteran Honored By President Obama by panafrican(m): 4:08am On Nov 13, 2013
The man is 107 years Old, fought the good war , survived many of the deadliest battles but it took 68 years for him to be honored, and it took a Black president to do that. let's image how many unkonwn heroes of african origin America has ignored in past wars ( civil wars, mexican- american war, Korean war, American war of liberation against the British empire, Vietnam war etc.). This is just crazy !
