U.S. Army Special Operations Command #DIDYOUKNOW The 2nd Ranger Infantry Company was the first, the last and only all-African American Ranger Infantry Company (Airborne) in the United States Army. Affectionately known as “Buffalo Soldiers,” the company was activated in October 1950 and fought in the Korean War before being deactivated in August 1951. During its existence, the unit earned four campaign streamers and multiple combat ribbons for several battles. Their audacity and valor have inspired generations of U.S. Army Rangers ever since. #BlackHistoryMonth #ARSOFHistory #ARSOF #The75thRangerRegiment #UnitedStatesSpecialOperationsCommand(USSOCOM)

National Memorial Day Concert (PBS) The Inspirational Story of Ted Strong, Vietnam Veteran (Presented by Laurence Fishburne): Once a 220-pound linebacker, Ted Strong returned from the Vietnam War wounded and emaciated, missing his right arm and left leg, but his fighting spirit was intact. 47 years later, his words were etched into glass panels of the Disabled Veterans' Life Memorial, which reads “It's possible for a man to lose half of his physical being and still become whole.” His moving story of living with disability and becoming the man he is today was shared by Laurence Fishburne at the 2015 National Memorial Day Concert. We are honored to share his story with you: https://www.facebook.com/memorialdayconcert/videos/925278168131227 #BlackHistoryMonth #VietnamVeteran #Inspirational
