I put my letter in the mail to wish Tuskegee Airman Sgt. Victor Butler a happy 100th birthday. As were so many others, I was very touched by his viral video interview last month. I know my letter adds to thousands he has already received, a sign of a grateful Nation.

The #TuskegeeAirmen are one of the most celebrated units in WWII history, & there is no doubt they hold a special place in my heart. These giants broke barriers & paved the way for diversity in our @usairforce. We will forever be indebted to them. #TuskegeeAirmenCommemorationDay
