This isn't just about a brand; it's about a moment of historical truth. For many of us, the story of the 332nd Tuskegee winning the first-ever USAF Gunnery Meet in 1949—only to have their victory marked "UNKNOWN"—was a shock. It's a story that was suppressed, but its power, once heard, is undeniable.
We want to know: What was your moment? When did the truth of the UNKNOWN FORTY-NINE finally reach you?
