Florida – A young man was fighting a battle at school that no one was aware of. After watching the film “Rise Above,” he decided that if the Tuskegee Airmen could learn to fly, he could face his bully at school. He talked with his parents and then went to school wearing his inspirational dog tag. He explained the situation to his teacher and then to the principal. The problem was resolved, thanks to his courage and the inspirational message of the Tuskegee Airmen!
