"Silver Star"

A few days ago I was watching a show called The Unit. The show is about a special forces team that answers only to the president and the soldier's family. The episode I was watching was about an African-American soldier's father, who was in the military, receiving a silver star. This show got me thinking about the African-American soldiers, and the prejudice they faced. They thought that when they came back from the war they would receive praise from the American people. But even when they came back from the war, they did not get the same respect as the white soldiers. Also, they did not receive awards no matter how heroic there actions, and the military is just making up for it now. A movie about this coming out this weekend is "Miracle at Santa-Anna" so if you are interested in this topic go and see it.
