Sorry to break into the reverie but there were over 400,000 colored soldiers that served in that war, when they came home they came home to race riots and lynchings.

As a teen back in the '60's I used to deliver the local paper to one of these vets. He and his brother had both served in WW I, but it was not until then that they could join one of the veteran's groups. At least one of the main groups did not allow black vets as members until then.
