Glenn Miller’s band was getting us "In the Mood".
Three Tuskegee airmen entered the mess, hovering guardedly near the door. One cautiously crossed over to me.
“Would you care to dance, Ma’am?’
‘Yes,’ I boldly took his hand, and we began to swing.
“That took courage,’ he said.
‘If you’re brave enough to fight for your country, I’m brave enough to ignore Jim Crow.’
And one day others might also be "In the Mood" to ignore him.
