RED TAILS

Here's my take on the movie:
After sleeping on it and back reflecting my on past experiences, I've decided to past on this one (RED TAILS) reason: At 17, I enlisted in the United States Army and after basic training, joined the 24th Infantry Regiment Combat Team, originally known as the BUFFALO-SOLDIERS. There I found myself fighting a bloody war in a place I had never heard of: Korea. During nine months of fierce combat, I developed not only a soldier's mentality but a political consciousness as well.
SO SAYING, I COULDN'T AGREE WITH MICHAEL PHILLIPS MORE.. BOTTOMLINE, WARS, ARE NOTHING LIKE THOSE MADE IN HOLLYWOOD. The real portrayers of wars as lived by we who fought them, will be carried to our graves.

PS: I'd be interested to know just how many veterans that’ve experience the really of a war, will go to see one made in Hollywood???

And btw the actors, as usual just played their parts.. Its the writers & producers intentions, that I question. Like if you’re going to tell a story, tell it like it really happen.

BOTTOM LINE: I, like so many others, will carry our war experiences to our graves, because if the truth was told, there would never be another war.

On behalf of;
The Forgotten Warriors. Of Forgotten Wars.

The Value Of Art(?)

The Value Of Art(?)
Is it a value the beholder places on it or the artist value’s?
Frankly I could care less, since the love affair I have with any work of art I've created end when the work was finished. Also a work of art should tell its own story. Thus there is a saying, "a picture is worth a thousand-words."

African Trained Artist,

In 1965 I went to Nkrumah's Ghana, in answer to his call for African-American former veterans to help train African Freedom Fighters and to take part of his nation building. I CAN TRULY SAY, I WAS BORN AGAIN. So if you haven’t as of yet, you owe it to yourself to read my MY SANKOFA.

(1965) I took a 3 week vacation to Africa, which lasted 11 years... IT WAS LIKE BEING BORN AGAIN. There I was taught the traditional African art of cow horn and ivory carving, a skill which enable me to be self-employed and employer. Since retiring, I am devoting the remaining days of my life to TRAVELS and PHOTOGRAPHY. revisiting some of the beautiful places I have been blessed to visit during my youth.
