"Unyielding Legacy: Preserving Our History and Role in America’s Narrative"

Lieutenant Colonel Howard Lee Baugh, my grandfather’s first cousin, served in the 99th Pursuit Squadron, the inaugural Tuskegee Airmen unit. This month commemorates the Squadron's 84th anniversary at Chanute Field in Rantoul, Illinois, approximately 120 miles from Chicago. I once reminisced with the late TV icon Norman Lear.
