Its 355 pilots flew more than 1,000 successful missions during the war. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Richard Baugh said his father flew 136 missions in 14 months during World War II, 86 more than white pilots were required to fly before being discharged and sent home. He also was one of the 95 Tuskegee Airmen who received the Distinguished Flying Cross. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sha\u2019mya Green, a junior at Thomas Jefferson High School, said she knew about the Tuskegee Airmen but talking to someone with such a close connection was still exciting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s like, oh, I read about you in a textbook and now I\u2019m looking at you,\u201d Green said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Classmate Debra Hampton also said hearing about the airmen was powerful because it served as an example of what is possible for her and others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thomas Jefferson senior Jalen Spencer agreed and said he enjoyed hearing directly about the kind of person the World War II pilot was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jim Triesler, the memorial\u2019s director of education, said his 25 years as a history teacher informs the job he has now and adding time for a small group to speak with the Baughs before the public panel was a huge benefit for students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe educate people of all ages, but what I really want to see is students have an opportunity to learn and feel good about working hard.
