After hearing about the Tuskegee Airmen, I've read everything I could get my hands on because I wanted to learn as much as possible about these remarkable people in our human family. As I grew as a caucasian man born during WW11,I can relate to the struggles you probably faced for many years ! I would have loved to have met you and all others that were in this group. Not just to thank you but also to get to know you personally. As I just meditated in prayer for you and all others who have served. Now I get to keep you in heart, mind & Spirit... thank you Arque.

It was an honor to have known Sequel for the short time that I did. I had the pleasure of reliving some of his history with him on the internet. He was a true famous warrior of his time.
