🎖️ “You can’t erase our Black history and our contribution to this country.”

This message from Galloway from Texas, a proud veteran of 20 years, hits deep — honoring the generations of Black men who served in every major U.S. war only to return home to Jim Crow, segregation, and denied benefits.

If you see a veteran today — say thank you.
