Burgess Speaks on Tuskegee Airmen Vote
Congressman Michael Burgess speaks on the floor of the House of Representatives about the Tuskegee Airmen.
Today, Congressman Michael C. Burgess voted for legislation honoring a proud group of African-American heroes of World War II. The House of Representatives passed H.Con.Res.26 to honor the Tuskegee Airmen for their bravery in fighting for our freedom in World War II, and for their contribution in creating an integrated United States Air Force. Tuskegee Airmen is the term used to describe the black fighter pilots of the 99th Pursuit Squadron, later incorporated into the 332nd Fighter Group, who fought during World War II in the U.S. Army Air Corps that were trained at Tuskegee Army Air Field, Tuskegee, Alabama.
