During segregation the men of WWI, WWII and the Korean War vowed to remain true to the preamble of the American Legion with dignity and integrity as Veterans. Native Veterans on the Island of Key West, Florida remained diligent to their pledges and acknowledged each other for their own bravery. This unique Joint Venture signified the love and respect these men had for one another; but most of all providing for the Veterans, their families and the Community as a host to over ten thousand (10,000) Black military personnel deployed in the Florida Keys, during the early 50's, late 60's. Many Veterans married native women and continued their service.
