This research paper discusses how blacks in the military during World War II (WWlI) were fighting two wars simultaneous. They were fighting the enemies of America in foreign countries, and fighting American laws to provide themselves with the same freedoms and rights that they were fighting for in behalf of other people in foreign countries. Black Soldiers have always contributed to the American way of life without receiving the recognition of just how much they contributed. Some fifty years later after these heroes are dead and buried the American government recognizes seven of them for the action.
