Happy Veterans Day

The 369th United States Infantry Regiment, nicknamed the “Harlem Hellfighters,” was the first African American regiment of troops to reach the battlefields of World War I.

At the end of their service in the war, the 369th had spent 191 days in combat, the longest of any American regiment. The French government awarded the entire regiment the Croix de Guerre, a medal awarded for acts of bravery in conflicts against the enemy.

For many African Americans, World War I was an opportunity to reassert post-Civil War expectations of full citizenship, and they assumed participating in the war would help them achieve their own level of democracy at home. But soldiers who returned to the U.S. continued to be denied equal rights.

Stay at home. Wash your hands. Remember life is always uncertain and that's ok. What stories do you want to be able to tell when this is all over? I want to tell about the year I had enough time to create my victory garden. Blessings to you all. xo

After being drafted in 1969, Tom Geerdes served as an Army medic in the 11th Armored Cavalry in Vietnam and Cambodia. Like many veterans, he returned home a changed man.

Happy Memorial Day.

The Military Voices Initiative provides a platform for veterans, service members, and military families to share their stories. In doing so we honor their voices, amplify their experiences, and let them know that we—as a nation—are listening.

Making a difference in our future also means acknowledging our past and preserving the stories that help get us this far. You can help!

Sometimes we have to preserve stories so that they can be retold . Remarkable!
