A Montford Point Marine stands at the Marine Corps Association and Foundation professional dinner at the Crystal Gateway Marriott in Arlington, Va., Sept. 6, 2012. Montford Point Marines were the first African Americans allowed to enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps. They trained at the segregated Camp Montford Point in Jacksonville, N.C., from 1942 to 1949, when the camp was deactivated after President Harry S. Truman signed an executive order to integrate the military. (Photo by Staff Sgt. Sun L. Vega)
