During World War II, approximately 1 million African Americans served in the U.S. military. Despite facing significant discrimination, around 7,000 were awarded various medals for their bravery and service, including the Distinguished Service Cross and other honors. Notably, the 761st Tank Battalion, the Tuskegee Airmen, and other units received recognition for their distinguished contributions. However, many believe that the number of awards did not fully reflect the bravery and sacrifices made by Black soldiers during the war.
During the Battle of Iwo Jima, a total of 27 Medals of Honor were awarded to U.S. servicemen for their bravery and valor. This included 22 medals awarded posthumously, reflecting the intense and often deadly nature of the combat faced during this pivotal battle in World War II. The recognition highlights the extraordinary acts of heroism displayed by those who fought in the battle.
