Summary
The United States Tiger Veterans Foundation turned up the heat on Juneteenth with surprise medals and water for Black veterans at the COMO Parade—and even handed them out at a local gas station when regular participants couldn’t make it. With a grant deadline missed, they pivoted to direct, heartfelt recognition: custom medals like the American Warrior Achievement Medal and the standout Sgt. James Shipley Valor Medal—named for a Tuskegee Airman—to honor Black veterans’ service. One Air Force vet, Candace Brown, was moved to tears by the gesture, calling it “a great thing” in today’s climate. The foundation’s mission? To make sure every veteran’s sacrifice is seen—and celebrated—year-round, especially on Juneteenth. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
