STEARNS PRESENTS CONGRESSIONAL GOLD MEDALS TO TUSKEGEE AIRMEN
WASHINGTON, JULY 23, 2007 -- "Although our nation was segregated during World War II, nearly 1,000 black Americans stepped forward to serve in a special Army Air Corps program to train as pilots," said Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-Ocala). "The training took place in Tuskegee, Alabama, and they became the famed Tuskegee Airmen, who went on to establish an astounding record in combat. In March, some 300 Tuskegee Airmen and their families attended an event in the Capitol Rotunda in Washington, D.C., receiving the Congressional Gold Medal. However, not all of the Tuskegee Airmen attended this event and I want to ensure that they receive the honors they earned."

On June 2, 2007, a group of veterans from the Clay County area arrived in Washington to tour the World War II Memorial, the Vietnam War and the Korean War Memorials, and then participate in a wreath laying ceremony arranged by Stearns at the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery. This visit, First Coast Honor Air, was made possible by the generous support of many throughout Clay County under the direction of Dan Finch, Rotary Club of Orange Park Sunrise. Please view photos of the visit.
