The story highlights the experiences of the 320th Barrage Balloon Battalion, an African American unit that landed on the beaches of France during D-Day in World War II. Tasked with deploying armed balloons to protect against enemy aircraft, the battalion's bravery is underscored by the nomination of one soldier for the Medal of Honor, a recognition he ultimately did not receive due to racial discrimination. The narrative sheds light on the overlooked contributions and sacrifices of black soldiers during the war.
