RIP Sir 
One of the last from a great generation of soldiers who defended the world against fascism. My heart goes out to Lt. Col. Robert Friend’s family — may we never forget what he and his fellow soldiers did for our country and the world.https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/1142815757300051971 …

He was quoted, “ I never felt that I was anything but an American doing a job.” Great job and thanks for being a hero and paving the way for racial equality in the military.

These were all great men. Told they were not good enough but pushed that insult aside and performed magnificently. Lt. Col. Friend also served in Korea and Vietnam then became an aerospace entrepreneur. A truly great man.
