Wear the Legacy of the Black Panthers
On October 31, 1944, the 761st Tank Battalion rolled onto the battlefields of Europe and into history. Known as the Black Panthers — after their fierce unit insignia and their motto, "Come out fighting" — these African-American soldiers proved their valor in the face of both the enemy and the injustice of a segregated military.
They fought for 183 consecutive days across France, Belgium, Holland, and Germany. They earned a Presidential Unit Citation, one Medal of Honor, 11 Silver Stars, and approximately 300 Purple Hearts. History has called them "one of the most effective tank battalions in World War II."
