There was not the single instances where African American had faced descrimination. For Example, while serving in the Army, Army Air Forces, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, they experienced continuing discrimination and segregation.

While most African Americans serving at the beginning of WWII were assigned to non-combat units and relegated to service duties, such as supply, maintenance, and transportation, their work behind front lines was equally vital to the war effort.

Despite such adverse situation many African American men and women met the challenge and sustained to live life.

African American served war with distinction, made valuable contributions to the war effort, and earned well-deserved praise and commendations for their struggles and sacrifices towards the country.

In all positions and ranks, they served with as much honor, distinction, and courage as any American soldier did.
