With deep sorrow, we say farewell to one of the final sentinels of the Tuskegee Airmen. George E. Hardy, who once danced across the skies of Europe in his Mustang has taken his final flight at the age of 100. Leaving behind a legacy forged in courage, resilience, and unwavering dignity.

It began in a quiet room in Philadelphia. A 16-year-old boy hunched over his homework as the radio crackled with the news of Pearl Harbor. In that instant, the world fractured, and George’s childhood evaporated. He didn't wait for history to call; he went to meet it.

Denied entry because of the color of his skin, he didn't retreat. He leaned into the wind. He joined the U.S. Army Air Forces, arriving at Tuskegee not just to learn the mechanics of flight, but to dismantle the mechanics of prejudice.

By 19, George was a "Red Tail," a guardian of the clouds. While the world below was segregated, the flak in the European theater was indifferent. He flew 21 combat missions over Nazi-occupied territory, a teenager in a cockpit proving that valor has no pedigree.

Most men would have seen enough of war. George was not most men.
- World War II: 21 combat missions in the P-51 Mustang.
- Korea: 45 combat missions, braving the dawn of the jet age.
- Vietnam: 70 combat missions, a veteran hand guiding a new generation.

For nearly thirty years, he wore the uniform of a country that didn't always love him back, yet he protected it with a devotion that shames the very idea of hate.

When he finally climbed out of the cockpit, he didn't stop serving. As a Lieutenant Colonel, he helped architect the military’s first global communication systems. He spent his sunset years ensuring that those who followed him would never be out of reach, never be truly alone in the dark.

"He rose above the clouds so we could finally see the light."

Today, we don't just salute a pilot. We salute a man who endured the sting of Jim Crow to earn the silver wings of a hero. He was the quiet defiance in the face of "no," the steady hand in the cockpit, and the humble heart in the room.

The "Red Tails" are thinning now, their formation heading into the eternal sunset. But as George E. Hardy crosses the ultimate horizon, he leaves behind a legacy etched not in ink, but in the very air we breathe.

Rest well, Colonel. The watch is ours. The sky is yours.

No ballroom for trump, give him some thoughts and prayers and a bulletproof backpack.

That's what schoolchildren get.

A reminder: this is what Donald Trump posted after the brutal murder of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner

[Glenn Tunes @glenn_tunes]

TRUMP WANTED TO PUT LIZ CHENEY IN FRONT OF A FIRING SQUAD 🤷
THEY MADE FUN OF PAUL PELOSI BEING ATTACKED BY A GUY WITH A HAMMER🤷
THEY MOCKED THAT ROB REINER WAS MURDERED BY HIS SON🤷

@RGreggKeller You really should actually read the book, especially The Testaments. It did not end well for Gilead. And it won’t for you.

Take thirteen minutes, or bookmark this for later. This is from @ezraklein, taken from The Ezra Klein Show podcast. It explains precisely what this administration is doing and why it is essential to keep focus and not play into it.

This act exploits the Democratic Party’s evident fear of appearing soft on border policy to sneak through major new restrictions on legal immigration and law-abiding immigrants. https://t.co/SmCa2OTJXs via @slate

President Jimmy Carter loved our country. He lived his faith, served the people, and left the world better than he found it.

President Carter’s many contributions will echo for generations to come.

We cannot escape this fact of what electing a convicted felon has done to the perception of America in the eyes of the world. We are a global laughingstock and embarrassment. The only thing keeping Americans from feeling shame is their ignorance and arrogance. 😳👇

[Morgan J. Freeman @mjfree]

She should be our incoming president.

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

This is Capitol Police Officer Caroline Edwards. She was knocked unconscious by Donald Trump's mob on January 6th, but later continued to fight for our democracy. She is an American hero.

RETWEET to thank Officer Edwards for her bravery!

[kevin blue @kevinblue345]

Everybody call, email, and tag AG @dananessel to demand she indict the officers involved to get justice for #RayvonShahid’s murder.

Do it now!
