Savannah, Georgia

Beaming a light for all World War II planes,

at the Walterboro Army Airfield,

was this 1933 Westinghouse beacon.

I often think of Hunter as a beacon for our family.

In honor of the Tuskegee airmen of World War II.

Because of their heroic action in combat,

the Germans feared them, calling them " the black bird men."

In reverence, bomber crews referred to them as their

"red tail angels"

because of their identifying red color and

because they lost no plane in combat.

Men like this in our history

allow us to impart to our children

those characteristics that make men honorable.

Tanner is a work in progress!
