WASHINGTON, DC -- U.S. Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) released the following statement on the Tuskegee Airmen receiving the Congressional Gold Medal:

“While today’s recognition was long overdue, it was a testament to the strength and courage of the Tuskegee Airmen, men who served and sacrificed for our nation without ever asking for anything in return. My career in public service was made possible by the path heroes like the Tuskegee Airmen trailblazed.”
