Tuskegee airman dies at 102

Definitely America lost a hero.

Rest in peace, Sir. You are a hero and among the best of the best as true aviators.

Wow - 409 combat missions! Think about that incredible record of experience. He must have been one of the best to survive that long in that environment. Charles McGee - Hero indeed.

Dang, and I just met him at OSH just a few months ago!

He is what we call a true hero. Thank God for men like him. Rest in peace...

A true patriot. Deserved every award that was bestowed on him and much more. One of the greatest among us.

I have seen documentaries outlining some of his exploits and everything that they said African-Americans couldn't do in wartime was proven wrong by the Tuskegee airmen. His appointment to Brigadier should not have been honorary, in my opinion. He EARNED that rank.

Succumbs; more correctly:succumbed. Please respect the man and proofread your copy BEFORE publishing. And yeah, I’m a Boomer. What’s it to ya?
