Mr. Robert McDaniel was one of the original home owners on Ransom Terrace in what is now known as "Historic Carver Heights". He moved in the house across the street from me when I was about 5 years old until he & his wife moved across town in the early 1970's. He bought my Girl Scout cookies & was my Vice Principal at Dunbar Jr. & Sr High School. (I got to see him 7 days a week). He was known to his adult neighbors & friends as Chilly Mac. He had "swagger" before it became a word! The Historic Carver Heights Neighborhood Association has commissioned artwork entitled "Ancestors" honoring our early settlers in this community & neighborhood. Mr. McDaniel is honored in the artwork as our Tuskegee Airman. The artwork is displayed on Plaza Circle located between Ransom Terrace & Loop 820 in the center of the jogging track. We invite you to come and visit it in his honor & memory. RIP

Hello I just want to say I am in tears as I write this. I am a young black man who has dreams of flight myself one day . I just want it to me known THE TUSKEGEE AIRMEN HAVE ALWAYS BEEN MY HEROES! There are no words to describe Sacrifices that they made in the hardships that they had to put up with. There will never be any others like these brave men. If only more young black man you could aspire to be like the Tuskegee airman. Sometimes I look at photos on Google of the Tuskegee airman And I say to myself my God look at them! Standing next to P51 Mustang fighter planes, So young and so brave. So I wanna take this time to let it be known We will make sure you are never forgotten! May God-bless Mr. Robert T McDaniel As well as his family.

To the family of Mr. McDaniel I give my condolences. I am but a stranger. However when I read that he was one of the Tuskegee Airmen I was in awe. I thought they had all passed. Our teachers never taught us that part of history and I didn't learn about the Airmen until I had my own children. I light this candle to honor you, your bravery, and service during those difficult times. I salute you, and send Peace and Blessings to the family

Our family extends a heartfelt thanks to Mr. McDaniel for his exemplar in service to our country, the USA in WW2. The difficulties, hardship, humiliation and accusations of the inability to learn and achieve in that time and day must have taken an incredible toll to his dignity and stature. We marvel and are encouraged by his perseverance and contribution. We recognize him for his service and contribution with hand over our hearts.

We knew Mr. McDaniel as the vice principal at Dunbar. Although he was somewhat understated in his demeanor, we knew he had the heart of a lion. I'm somewhat embarrassed to have not known about the Tuskegee connection, What a great role model he was to us in the 60's. My deepest condolences to Robert and family, your father lived a life of incredible value, to his family and our community.
May God continue to bless you during this time of grief.

My respect & deep condolences go out to Robert T. McDaniel and his family. I will always remember that it was a group of Tuskegee Airmen who escorted my fathers B24 Liberator to safety when it suffered engine damage after a mission over Brenner Pass in 1944. My fathers plane could not keep up with the returning fleet headed back to base in Italy. The Tuskegee Airmen provided protection for them until they reached safe airways. This was the only story My father ever shared about the war, and I think it was because of the great respect he had for the brave pilots who saw them safely back to base. Rest In Peace, sir, and thank you and other Airmen like you who sacrificed so much in service to this great country.
March 28, 2019
Peace be with you Sir and peace be with your family.

AS A disabled vet from 1964 to 75 I feel very sad we lost another brother veteran.
WE owe a debt of gratitude for men like Robert.
These brave men who not only fought for our country but had to fight racism when they came home. But they endured and forever will be in our hearts and minds.
Robert is now flying high in heaven.
God bless you Robert you made us all proud.

There are no words to represent what Robert and his fellow Airmen encountered, endevered, and survived. This also goes beyond black and white. People of all races have benefitted from their deeds. A grateful nation is better off due to these giant heroes and there has never been any reward or thanks big enough to equal their accompllshments. I am humbled and HONORED to be a fellow veteran. I send out prayers to all of Robert's family and for his memory.

Remembering the Tuskegee Airmen of WWII! Thanks to ALL of you for looking beyond the racism of the idiotic beliefs of that time! It is people of character and courage, like the men of quality that you were/are, that have slowly but surely helped advance society to a point that no matter what color our skin is, we can accept that no one is better than anyone else!
You men were the trail blazers! You are certainly worthy of the respect that all of us will eventually give to all races!
I know that the One that is above all of us will accept you into His kingdom! Rest in Peace, Mr. McDaniel.
