..."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.
