We Honor You

Since February is Black History Month I believe that we should all honor those who have done great things for us. The first person I would like to honor is Benjamin Oliver Davis, Sr. He was the first African American General Officer in the regular army and in the U.S. Armed Forces. He was promoted to first lieutenant on March 30, 1905; to captain on December 24, 1915; to major (temporary) on August 5, 1917; and to lieutenant colonel (temporary) on May 1, 1918. He reverted to his permanent rank of captain on October 14, 1919, and was promoted to lieutenant colonel on July 1, 1920; to colonel on February 18, 1930; to brigadier general (temporary) on October 25, 1940. He was retired on July 31, 1941, and recalled to active duty with the rank of brigadier general the following day. The next person I would like to honor is Bessie Coleman. She was the first African American female pilot. She inspired many woman and African Americans to stand up for what the believe in and do what you love. But most of all because she was a Texas girl. And weather O'Bama changes America or not he should be honored for doing something his race has never done before.
