text: I could not find how many men, but I learned a lot about the 369th Harlem Hellfighter. Here is the information I got from the History Channel. \n\nThe 369th Infantry Regiment of the New York National Guard 15 Regiment. An all African American unit, the 369th fought in World War I under the French Flag because the United States refused to have African American soldiers in combat. The 369th compiled an astounding war record and were decorated by the French government. But when they returned home to the United States, they were subjected to the racism of the era, and discovered their service in World War I meant nothing to their fellow Americans.\n\nI know about  the  54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, Co. in the Civil War and the Tuskegee Airmen in World War II. The History Channel shows more other black groups that were fought for our country through out the years.\n\nMy hat goes to these men who fought and died for our freedom.
