Today we recognize Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States in 1865. As we reflect on this milestone in our nation’s history, we also honor the enduring contributions of Black Americans to our country’s defense - from the Tuskegee Airmen to trailblazers throughout the history of the U.S. Air Force. We’re proud to help preserve and share these stories of service, courage, and resilience.
