RATION STAMPS
Right: Ration stamps were coupons issued by the
government during wartime. "When I was in Vietnam, we
were given these stamps, which were designed to give you
access to items that weren't readily available - alcohol,
cigarettes, chocolate," Lumpkin said. "So you got a certain
number of them. And if you were like me and didn't drink
or smoke, you could trade for a great deal of candy!"

THE RED TAILS

(TUSKEGEE AIRMEN)

Below: "They were an all-black unit that trained at
Tuskegee during World War ll," Lumpkin said. "But they
were not allowed to fly. Then Eleanor Roosevelt leaned
in and said, 'Wait a minute. This is one of the best trained
units in the Army Air Corps. We should commit them
to the battle over Europe.' As bombers were flying over
Germany, they were losing more than 100 men each
time. German fighter pilots were shooting them down.
So they brought in this unit, and they called them the
Red Tails because they painted the tails of their aircraft
red. Once they engaged, they did not lose a single
bomber for more than eight months during the war. It's
an incredible story. These men earned the respect and
admiration of the entire Army Corps."
