imagn: I absolutely cannot wait to see the George Lucas film Red Tails!  I’m so proud of my heritage (The photo is of Cornelius Porter (deceased) - my father’s father). Here’s the trailer: Red Tails I grew up about 25 miles from Tuskegee, AL and it is a remarkable place full of remarkable history.  Unfortunately Sharpe Field, the airfield of the Tuskegee Airmen is is TERRIBLE disrepair, something I have always thought was tragic.  I’m hoping the release of this film will spur some action that will save the airfield and honor the amazing men (like this one!) who served there!  (Also- what a hottie, huh?!)
