1 Corinthians 16:13
King James Version (KJV)
13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
The Tuskegee Airman stood strong in faith that they would get a chance to serve their country like their fellow pilots. After being denied over and over again. Along came Eleanor Roosevelt. She's got Balls. The first Lady wanted to know what was the problem ? Why these qualified Negro Pilots were denied the opportunity to serve their country.

Later named the Fighter Squadron, it became the first squadron of black pilots to fight in World War II in the skies over Pantelleria, an island near Sicily, on June 2, 1943.
