Forged in the Fire: Honoring Black Veterans and Their Legacy of Service

Welcome to the New York State Department of Veterans’ Services (DVS) Black History Month Program, where we honor the extraordinary men and women of color who, forged in the fire of adversity, fought against injustice and inequality — not only on the battlefield but within the fabric of American history itself. We pay tribute to those who insisted on being included in the service of God and country, who earned the nation’s highest military honors, and who opened the doors for all who would follow. “We were fighting for freedom abroad while still searching for it at home — but we never stopped believing that our service could change the story.” — Charles Norman Shay, Penobscot Tribal Elder, WWII Combat Medic, D-Day Veteran Today’s program features remarks from Commissioner Viviana De Cohen and an insightful discussion moderated by Dr. Lessie Branch — a Racial Equity Policy Scholar, Fulbright Specialist in Race, Ethnicity, and Religion Politics, and Director of Programs & Community Relations at Citizens Committee for New York City. Join us in celebrating the resilience, courage, and excellence of Black veterans whose sacrifices and achievements continue to shape our shared legacy of equity and service. 🕊️ Your Service.
