What lesson does vernon baker demonstrate about the u. s. military during world war ii? *

It taught us the African Americans who served in WWII were brave and capable soldiers just like their white counterparts.  They too fought hard and risk their lives to win the war.  It is only fitting they too be awarded the same honors as white soldiers.  It was sad that no black soldier was award the Medal of Honor during WWII despite their bravery and sacrifice.  Vernon Baker was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor by President Bill Clinton on January 13, 1997.
