2026 PA Tuskegee Airmen Commemoration Day

On March 29, 2007, the extraordinary Tuskegee Airmen and women received the United States Congress Congressional Gold Medal from President George W. Bush for their bravery during WWII. Starting in year 2023, our fellow Philadelphians and Pennsylvanians join in celebration of Tuskegee Airmen Commemorative Day in Pennsylvania. During this event, we are honoring the legacy of both men and women reflective of diverse races and ethnic backgrounds who participated in the Tuskegee Experience. This day is the result of unanimous approval by both the PA House of Representatives and the Senate with legislation signed on November 15, 2022 by Tom Wolfe, Governor Emeritus. The commemoration of these events officially designates March 29th as Tuskegee Airmen Commemorative Day in Pennsylvania for which the Greater Philadelphia Chapter Tuskegee Airmen, Inc and our National Tuskegee Airmen organization are honored.

Our year 2026 celebration takes place on Saturday, March 28, 2026. This Program will honor the legacy of both men and women reflective of diverse races and ethnic backgrounds who participated in the Tuskegee Experience. In addition, Heritage Family Presentations will reveal monumental achievements of their relatives who served as Tuskegee Airmen and Women. Also, all first time and grandfathered financial members will have the opportunity to receive their new Greater Philadelphia Chapter Tuskegee Airmen, Inc “Red Tails” membership pin.
