WWII Veteran Robbed Twice Just For Asking For Help

WWII veteran asked for help after getting lost. They stole his wallet. He asked another group for help and they stole his car. They did all this to a 93 year old veteran!

Why didn't his life matter or the fact that he was part of history matter at all? Any clue what the Tuskegee Airmen put up with yet still put their lives on the line during WWII?

The Tuskegee airmen were the first black servicemen to serve as military aviators in the U.S. armed forces, flying with distinction during World War II. Though subject to racial discrimination both at home and abroad, the 996 pilots and more than 15,000 ground personnel who served with the all-black units would be credited with some 15,500 combat sorties and earn over 150 Distinguished Flying Crosses for their achievements. The highly publicized successes of the Tuskegee Airmen helped pave the way for the eventual integration of the U.S. armed forces under President Harry Truman in 1948.
