    African American History Month    

    February is African American/Black History Month, a time during which we honor the many contributions made to our country by African Americans. The commemoration continues the tradition of excellence started by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, by honoring the men and women who have played a vital role in the history of our nation. <br />

    Keep up with how the military is honoring African American History Month by subscribing to this feature page. The news, videos and images also highlight the past and present military service of African Americans.
