    ========= Hellfighters LYRICS ==========
    From a land across the ocean, to the western front where they served
    Fought with courage and devotion, preconceptions turned
    As the spring offensive kept churning, where the men would earn their name
    See the tides of battle turning, and their foes ignite their flame
    Hear the toll of the bell, kept fighting for six months in hell
    As the war rages on, they fight at the edge of the Argonne
    Hear the toll of the bell, over six months in hell
    Out of the trenches they came
    As the war rages on, at the edge of the Argonne
    Hellfighters earning their name
    They would have no prisoners taken, and they never lost any ground
    Earned the cross of war unshaken, never turned around
    As the armistice is drawing closer, the 369th
    Kept on fighting until it was over, and they were first to reach the Rhine
    ========= Historic Fact ==========
    In 1918, the Harlem Hellfighters were assigned to fight in WW1 alongside the French army. This regiment was mainly made up of African American soldiers, and they were not allowed to fight alongside the ordinary American soldiers.

    As a Soldier of the Army National Guard, and a Trooper in the US Cav I couldn't admire anyone more then the Harlem Hellfighters who faced a segregated army and still managed to not only fight and win, but to survive with little to no respect or logistical support from the US army. They were only recognized by the French army after being adopted and equipped with French Equipment. Yet, facing so much other than life on the front line, they were the most feared amongst the germans. And THAT was a national guard unit.

      Which is why it is ESSENTIAL to repeat their story. What they and the 442nd did are the truest examples of patriotism in American history. They fought for a country that despised them, they answered a call that they had no business receiving. Yet they fought every bit as hard (if not harder) than their white countrymen, proving (even though they shouldn't have had to) that they believe in the core values of this nation. Through their bravery they show what courage really means. Not just courage on the battlefield, but the courage to be dedicated to ideals that were not being reflected in the society in which they lived. By repeating their story, we reaffirm the value of the price they paid to shout to all the world "I AM AN AMERICAN".

    The 369th Harlem Hellfighters, shipped out as a token force to aid the French army against the German Empire. The US gov't expected them to get wiped out, ridding them of an annoying wild hair...and yet these boys were some of the toughest, bravest, and most dedicated combatants to ever see a battlefield. They earnt great respect from the French for their valor, and the bond was such that the 369th took to wearing French Adrian helmets instead of the issue Brodie kettlehat, as a sign of unity with their poilú brothers in arms. Truly one of the most inspiring tales from the First War.

      Funny enough, he was a man who died destitute because of an error on his discharge papers failing to report injuries that he received his Purple Heart for. Granted said Purple Heart was given posthumously by President Bill Clinton. He then received a posthumous Distinguished Service Cross upon discovery of his burial place in Arlington National Cemetery. And it has recently been discovered that General John Pershing provided a Chain-of-Command endorsement, presumably for a Medal of Honor, given what Charles Schumer said in front of a statue of Johnson in Albany.
