A Marina del Rey woman is mourning the death of her father, who was one of the last remaining Tuskegee Airmen.
The Tuskegee Airmen received the congressional Medal of Honor in 2007 from then-President George W. Bush, but Veronica Polite said what her father remembered most about his time in the military was the racism he faced wherever he went. Born in Philadelphia in 1926, Henry Polite was part of the Tuskegee Airmen as a crew chief and engineer. His daughter said he continued to work for the government as an electrical engineer before he retired. She called her father a gracious and humble man, who led his children in the Lord’s Prayer every night.
