The real blot on this, is that it took this long to give this brave man with this prestigious honor. The unjustified delay was due to the military's prejudicial attitude of this man's color? Isn't that a shame!
Mr.Quentin P. Smith? WWII War Hero. Congradulations! and I'm sorry it took this long for you sir.

This is about time! I would submit that ALL the Tuskegee Airmen should be honored in this manner. Bravo Zulu, Airmen!
