Each February, National Black History Month serves as both a celebration and a powerful reminder that Black history is American history, Black culture is American culture, and Black stories are essential to the ongoing story of America — our faults, our struggles, our progress, and our aspirations. Throughout America’s history, African American Soldiers have honorably answered the call to duty, serving with great valor and distinction in America’s armed forces.
