RIP, General.🙏🏾😪

Today, we lost an American hero. Charles McGee, Brigadier General and one of the last surviving Tuskegee Airman, passed at the age of 102. While I am saddened by his loss, I'm also incredibly grateful for his sacrifice, his legacy, and his character. Rest in peace, General. pic.twitter.com/3GLNbfRHs7

Earlier this week I called Brigadier General Charles McGee to wish him a happy 102nd birthday. His service to our nation is remarkable; a member of the Tuskegee Airmen who went on to complete more than 400 missions during World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. He is an American hero. pic.twitter.com/Uni30Lb18x
