Bubba Cat....back in 1940s.....color of the skin did matter. World War II in the Pacific was a race war and fought as such. And no matter what you may have thought, or told, your relatives who worked on the highway benefited from being white and they were not working next to any black. Jim Crow works in the military as well as in civilian. I object to this honoring because I believes that everyone who worked on the Alaska Highway should be honored. This divide and honor concept by current day political correctness snowflakes continued to fuel the racial divide, not heal it.
