Military & Veterans News Vet News: Presidential Proclamation -- National African American History Month, 2015 For generations, the story of American progress has been shaped by the inextinguishable beliefs that change is always possible and a brighter future lies ahead.

This audacious movement gave birth to a new era of civil and voting rights, and slowly, we renewed our commitment to an ideal at the heart of our founding: no matter who you are, what you look like, how modest your beginnings, or the circumstances of your birth, you deserve every opportunity to achieve your God-given potential.
