for sure!

African Americans have fought bravely in every major military action since colonial times. Often black soldiers and sailors were chosen for high-risk missions and individually to fight their enemies. It is the practice of racial segregation, present in the armed forces, that went so far as to have regimental units for blacks separated from whites.
