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.

@Terrapins247 They missed two cousins from Baltimore (Donta Bright - UMass and Keith Booth - MD) and High School teammates were playing against each other in this game.

An Idaho mayor recently argued that Juneteenth is something "nobody had heard of until five years ago" while voting to remove it as a city holiday and restore Columbus Day. So the question isn’t whether the holiday is real history It’s whether we’re willing to acknowledge it. 🤷🏾‍♂️

MUST WATCH: Today, Tennessee House Republican Representative Michele Reneau stated the following on a House education bill: “The Bible actually does instruct those who do own slaves on how to treat them.”

She is then, justifiably, TORCHED by Justin Pearson.

Stop using and weaponizing the Bible to justify committing atrocities, white people (and those adjacent)!! 🤬

I just got off the air at MSNow for @11thHour. And that was weird.

I’m not sure what it looked like in the broadcast, but it was definitely unexpected for me and all of us in studio. But also important. As I was talking, it sounded like we got shut down or shut off. 📺🚨🇺🇸
