Black History In WWII: Richard Stewart - Richard V. Stewart was born on November 29, 1920, and raised in Marion, Indiana, and graduated from high school in 1939. While attending embalming school in 1942, he received his draft notice and was inducted into the U.S. Army on December 31, 1942.
Richard received specialist training in communications and became a lineman responsible for installing and repairing telephone lines. He landed on Omaha Beach in July 1944 and continued to serve in France, Belgium, and Germany providing area communications support for various Army Air Forces commands until the end of the war. Due to segregation during that time, and the fact that black soldiers were not allowed to fight alongside whites, Richard’s unit was called in after the fighting to run communication lines throughout the war-torn area. #bestdefensefoundation #takingcareoftheoneswhotookcareofus #RichardStewart #BlackHistoryMonth #WWIIHero 🎖️👏
