Bus Systems' Tribute to Rosa Parks

Dozens of bus systems will keep their headlights on and keep the front seat vacant in honor of Rosa Parks on the 50th anniversary of the day she would not give up her seat to a white man on a bus in Montgomery, AL. As Tavis Smiley said, "She sat down so we could stand up."

Brothers Served on Mason and in Tuskegee Airmen

Charles P. Bailey Sr. was born in 1918, grew up in Punta Gorda, Florida and served in the Tuskegee Airmen. He died in 2001.

Bailey, a lieutenant, received a four-leaf cluster Air Medal and the Distinguished Flying Cross. He saw duty in North Africa and European theaters. He flew 133 missions and never lost a bomber.

A bronze bust of Bailey was dedicated at the Naval Air Station Museum, 910 Biscayne Boulevard, in Deland Florida on October 29.

All of Mr. Bailey's brothers served in the military including Harding C. Bailey, who was an electrician's mate 2nd class aboard the USS Mason.
