Five out of the 135 Soldiers of the 135th Expeditionary Sustainment Command (ESC) hold their birthday cards for the last known surviving Tuskegee Airman, Sgt. Victor Butler. Butler was a mechanic for the Tuskegee Airmen, and he was one of the many Black military pilots and airmen who made history while fighting in World War II. On top of those sacrifices, the unit broke barriers and instrumentally contributed to desegregating the United States military.
