America250: Marine Corps Veteran Frederick C. Branch - VAntage Point

Frederick C. Branch was born in Hamlet, North Carolina, the first black African American officer in the Marine Corps.... A man from my neck of the woods..... A NC MAN..... Good job Frederick C Branch RIP

..."Every African American officer can trace his beginnings back to Fred Branch,” said Joe Geeter, vice president of the Montford Point Association in Branch’s 2005 Washington Post obituary. “Each of these officers owes his success to the courage and dedication he showed while going through Officer Candidate School during World War II.”

We honor his service.

Larry Taylor, the man who saved the day in a Cobra helicopter! Thank you for your service, Larry Taylor...
