Black Americans have served in every conflict this country has fought, from the first blood of the Revolution to today. The coalition honors that record the way we honor everything: with more than words.
Attucks fell first at the Boston Massacre. An estimated 5,000 Black soldiers and sailors served the Revolution.
Nearly 180,000 men, roughly a tenth of the Union Army, including the storied 54th Massachusetts.
The 9th and 10th Cavalry and 24th and 25th Infantry, the Army's first Black peacetime regiments.
191 days in continuous combat, more than any other American unit, and the Croix de Guerre from France.
The Red Tails in the air, the first Black Marines, Doris Miller at Pearl Harbor, and the 6888th Battalion clearing a two-year mail backlog in three months.
Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf, Iraq, Afghanistan. Black Americans have served at rates above their share of the population for generations.
Roughly one in five active-duty service members is Black. The record has never broken.
Verified veterans and active-duty members carry the Service mark on their permanent record. It cannot be bought, only earned before you ever joined.
Member numbers carrying the record are reserved in perpetuity for decorated veterans, one per number, awarded, never sold.
Veteran-owned businesses are flagged across the directory and marketplace, and get priority in venture staffing, contracts, and the deal room.
Veteran status verified once at onboarding · details illustrative for this prototype.
