Courage has no color
Soldiers, not servants
I'm going to tell you a secret
I had a mission that was [above] and beyond me
Bets were made that Blacks would never jump
We were going to tangle with Hitler
We were soldiers, we did what we had to do
The Army had no place for us
We will have a colorless society one day
The story behind the story.
