African Americans distinguished themselves even in segregated units. The Tuskegee Airmen earned several unit and individual citations for service escorting bomber groups. The 761st Tank Battalion also won a number of medals. The famous Red Ball Express was made up mostly of African American support units. Following the war, POTUS Harry S. Truman ended segregation in the military.
