I hope this gets approved. Would be great to see the Des Moines airport named after this WW-II hero.

I love this statement
“You know, in 1941 nobody wanted the Tuskegee Airmen. In 1945, only the Nazis didn't want us.” — Luther Smith, a highly decorated member of the Tuskegee Airmen from Des Moines
So true:medals:
I also hope it gets approved

Me too Henry, that statement will be part of my signature for a while. These gentlemen were amazing and had to overcome so much. But instead of turning bitter they became determined to excel. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
