Summary

This resolution expresses support for designating March 27, 2025, as "Tuskegee Airmen Commemoration Day" to honor the pioneering Black military aviators. It specifically calls on each State, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories to recognize the Tuskegee Airmen for their heroism, valor, and exemplary service to the Nation. The resolution highlights that the Tuskegee Airmen, who served in the Army Air Corps from 1941 to 1949, overcame significant adversity and racism while flying over 15,000 combat sorties during World War II. Their contributions included earning numerous medals and inspiring the desegregation of the Armed Forces through their "Double Victory" against fascism abroad and racism at home. This commemoration aims to ensure their courage and bravery are remembered by younger Americans.
