Re: 15 Nov 1952
Note that there are only two African-Americans in the platoon: one in an honors position, next to DIs, and one top row, left of center. I'm ashamed that I don't remember their names (or any of the other guys, for that matter). It took extraordinary guts for them join at that time. The armed services had only been integrated for a few years, and a lot of rednecks still resented it.
