It was both awe-inspiring, and awful, to hear how they had to battle the Germans on one side, and then their own officers.\u00a0 And then, after fighting for liberty abroad, to come home and see that those same liberties they fought for for others, did not apply to them&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>One other element of this project also breaks my heart.\u00a0 I started work on the documentary in 2004.\u00a0 Of all the members of the unit you see, as of Memorial Day weekend 2014, only one is left &#8211; Joseph Hairston.<\/p>\n<p>They say you don&#8217;t appreciate something until it&#8217;s gone.\u00a0 Many of our WWII vets are already gone, and it&#8217;s estimated that another thousand pass away every day.\u00a0 So, whether it&#8217;s Memorial Day, Veteran&#8217;s Day, or any day that ends in &#8220;Y&#8221;, please take a moment to pay tribute and offer your appreciation to those who served in the past, and those who are serving today.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/92ndinfantry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/92nd-Photos-Cemetery.10.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-164\" src=\"http:\/\/92ndinfantry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/92nd-Photos-Cemetery.10-300x220.jpg\" alt=\"92nd Photos - Cemetery.10\" width=\"300\" height=\"220\" srcset=\"http:\/\/92ndinfantry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/92nd-Photos-Cemetery.10-300x220.jpg 300w, http:\/\/92ndinfantry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/92nd-Photos-Cemetery.10-1024x752.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/92ndinfantry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/92nd-Photos-Cemetery.10-408x300.jpg 408w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In recognition of Memorial Day, as well as in appreciation for ALL who served and sacrificed, I&#8217;ve uploaded my documentary Deeds Not Words: The Buffalo Soldiers in World War II.\u00a0 The documentary follows the Buffalo Soldiers of the Army&#8217;s 92nd &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/92ndinfantry.org\/?p=515\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[1],"tags":[29,15,21,14,26,27,30,20,22,23,28,24,17],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2tSLO-8j","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/92ndinfantry.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/515"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/92ndinfantry.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/92ndinfantry.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/92ndinfantry.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/92ndinfantry.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=515"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/92ndinfantry.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/515\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":516,"href":"http:\/\/92ndinfantry.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/515\/revisions\/516"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/92ndinfantry.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=515"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/92ndinfantry.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=515"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/92ndinfantry.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=515"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
