761st Tank Battalion Tribute T-Shirt - Black Panthers WW2 Heroes

Honor the extraordinary courage and sacrifice of America's first African-American armored battalion with this 761st Tank Battalion Tribute T-Shirt - Black Panthers WW2 Heroes. The 761st Tank Battalion - the Black Panthers - were a unit of African-American soldiers who served in the United States Army during World War II, becoming the first Black armored unit to see combat in the war when they entered the fighting in France in November 1944. Under the command of General George S. Patton, who told them before their first engagement, "I don't care what color you are, so long as you go up there and kill those Kraut sons of bitches" - the 761st fought with extraordinary valor and distinction across France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, and Austria, participating in the Battle of the Bulge, the liberation of concentration camps, and the final push into the heart of Nazi Germany. Despite their extraordinary service record - 183 days of continuous combat, 30 major engagements, and a Presidential Unit Citation - the 761st were denied the recognition they deserved for decades after the war, a reflection of the systemic racism that pervaded American society and the military. It was not until 1978 that President Jimmy Carter awarded the 761st the Presidential Unit Citation, and not until 1997 that Staff Sergeant Ruben Rivers was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. This tribute t-shirt honors their legacy, their courage, and their sacrifice.
