President Biden recognizes 2024 Tuskegee Airmen Commemoration Day March 28, 2024 I send my warmest greetings to all those celebrating National Tuskegee Airmen Commemoration Day -- a time to honor the story, service, and sacrifice of the Black pilots, bombardiers, navigators, mechanics, instructors, and crewmembers who changed the course of history. It's a story that continues to inspire us today. Daring and determined, the Tuskegee Airmen blazed a new path -- becoming our Nation's first Black military pilots. They flew and supported over 15,000 sorties in battle and destroyed over 100 enemy aircraft. They defended the Allies and became one of the most decorated fighter groups during World War II. Time and again, they risked their own safety for the safety of their fellow Americans, stepping up to fly some of our country's most dangerous and critical missions.
