A young black man in Vietnam era U.S. Army olive drab fatigues and black leather boots, yellow garrison style Sergeant steipes and a subdued OD 1st Cavalry Division patch on his right sleeve and full web gear sits on his helment in an urban combat area just after fire-fight. He holds the "dog tags" and bloody letter possessions of a soldier. His M16 is propped against the blown out wall behind him.

The hand holds a bloody "free U.S. serviceman" envelope and dog tags.

Zoomed in picture.

After serving the nation, Black veterans are being expelled, abandoned, and erased. Their fight isn’t over — and neither is ours. @davidalove #blackveterans

Fuck racism.
Fuck racists.

Fuck Hegseth, who cannot stop himself from being a racist asshole.

I honor and revere all veterans, but there is a special place in my heart for all the Black veterans that sacrificed, fought and died to protect the rights and freedoms of a nation that denied them theirs !!!

'It puts a target on our back': Trump's war on DEI and beards in military further ostracizes Black service members "It's just a complete slap in the face for all the minorities who actually give a damn about the country," said Marine veteran Anderson.
