Retired Air Force Lt. Col. Lee Andrew Archer Jr., 84, (left) a decorated World War II aviator, holds aloft an ROTC coin presented by 19- year-old Howard University sophomore and ROTC Cadet Darold F. Ross during a National Black History Month commemoration ceremony at the Department of Veterans Affairs headquarters in Washington, D.C. Ross, a member of ROTC Detachment 130, wants to become a pilot, and said Archer's exploits, and those of the other Tuskegee Airmen, "paved the way -- directly -- for me." Photo by Gerry J. Gilmore
