cccjwh Posted June 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 Now, the Fort Johnson base is honored for Sgt. William Henry Johnson, an African American World War I Medal of Honor recipient who served in the all-Black 369th U.S Infantry Regiment. “Sgt. William Henry Johnson embodied the warrior spirit, and we are deeply honored to bear his name at the Home of Heroes,” said Brig. Gen. David W. Gardner, commanding general of the Joint Readiness Training Center and Fort Polk, in the press release. The North Carolina native served one tour of duty on the western edge of the Argonne Forest in France’s Champagne region from 1918-1919, and became one of the first Americans to be awarded France's highest award for valor, the French Croix de Guerre avec Palme. According to the U.S. Department of Defense, former President Theodore Roosevelt called Johnson one of the five bravest Americans to serve in World War I. After his death in July 1929, Johnson was awarded the Purple Heart in 1996, the Distinguished Service Cross in 2003, and most recently, the Medal of Honor in 2015.

calfoxwc Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 Juneteenth is a holiday I can't relate to personally - I'm not black. But the history is very, very real. It is inevitable that that holiday is used like a dishonest political lever to try to keep the black community voting for the dems, who have failed to deliver much of anything of all their fake promises. And reparations? how about from the blacks in Africa who forced them into slavery, transporting them to America in the first place? But it is a true event - a great one - the freeing of slaves. Slavery was such a disgrace. Back in the Air Force - in Biloxi - we were a whole bunch of guys who got along great. A few years back, I look at the pictures of me with different friends - I don't remember their names. But there were guys who had slavery in the history of their family way back in the day. So many stories and backgrounds of those guys, I do remember. We were from everywhere. The Bayou, west coast and east coast beaches, big cities, western plains, and so many little towns in between. We had a master sergeant who took over our squadron when our excellent commander went on emergency family leave. The msgt hated black guys, he hated Christian guys, he hated God, he hated other minorities. And he really hated us going to AF chapel sponsored church retreats. Some of those guys came from very poor neighborhoods. They wanted a better life, a chance to go to college...all the dreams they dreamed were being crushed by intimidating fake write ups again and again. One night, with our red rope (student appointed in charge guy) was back in Florida on a weekend - about a dozen guys came to my room because our red rope and I were close friends - and were really po'd. They wanted me to write up a petition against the garbage that that msgt was screwing them over with. I had to tell them they don't want to even think about it yet because according to the UCMJ - you have to have permission to do a petition. They were really angry but some of them said that was right. They thanked me for letting them know. I said I would talk to our red rope and he and I might go talk to a chaplain when he got back. What sickness is it - to hate someone for the color of their skin that is different from the haters' ??? That msgt was out of our squadron a few weekends later. I don't want to tell the story about how that happened. He was transferred to a WAF squadron, where just one back word, one mistake around those ladies - he would be out of the service with no benefits. So celebrating Juneteenth is a good thing - a great thing when it isn't abused for political benefit, or even financial benefit. I hope and pray all their dreams came true. https://www.npr.org/2022/06/20/1105945119/four-enduring-myths-about-juneteenth-are-not-based-on-facts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vambo Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 I just can’t take anymore of this crap this despicable government , who by the way are suppose to be following the Constitution of the United States of America , wanting to change and make up holidays for certain groups of people and leaving out others JUST because the color of their skin ! I thought and I hoped that we were trying to get past all the bad things that happen many many years ago and become ONE Nation of all no matter what religion , sex and sexual preference , color of skin , culture , traditions , heritage , and any other things that defines an individual . No one living today had or has anything to do with the bad outrageous things that happened during the creation of our Nation. My question is why do certain people want to keep doing things to keep the past things alive . This is not good for anyone. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cysko Kid Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 Slavery ended on 1st January 1863. 19th June, 1865 was simply when enough republican boys had laid their lives down to sufficiently beat the Democratic slave masters in remote at the time, Texas into submission. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
