Army Air Corps Staff Sgt. (retired) Leslie Edwards, a documented original Tuskegee Airman of the 617th Bombardment Squadron, delivers remarks as the special guest for the 477th Fighter Group 10th anniversary commemoration at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Oct. 15, 2017. The 617th Bombardment Squadron was one of four bomber squadrons that made up the 477th Bombardment Group during World War II. In 2007, the 477th Bombardment Group became the 477th Fighter Group, bringing with it the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen to Alaska. ( Air Force photo by Alejandro Peña)
