Our troops are now stationed all across the world, in the Orient, in England, in North Africa, in all the far places where men in the American uniform carry the battle to the enemy. They are in every branch of the Army: Air Corps, Infantry, Artillery, Armored Forces, Engineers, Cavalry, Quartermaster Corps. Selective Service calls us from civilian life in exact proportion to our percentage of the national population--which is approximately one-tenth. There are now two Negro divisions. Many regiments are Negro-officered. There are Negro doctors, Negro nurses, Negro chaplains. There are hundreds of Negroes in the various officers training schools--serious, hard-working, well-educated candidates. Fliers are being made at the Basic and Advanced Flying School at Tuskegee, Alabama. Our troops are making a record for themselves which will not only equal but surpass the distinguished record made by Negro Americans in the first World War.
