TomcatFanatic123 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 (edited) This gentleman has been a pillar in our community for many years, and my grandfather served with him while he was stationed here at Vandenberg Air Force Base working on ICBM's. I didn't realize, however, that he was a Tuskegee Airman. The local news did a neat little story on him today. Very cool!
