SUMMARY:Author Talk | Tuskegee Airmen at the Mighty Eighth
DESCRIPTION:The National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force’s Author Talk series proudly presents Bob Sheppard\, sharing the powerful story of his father\, MSgt. James Sheppard\, and his service with the Tuskegee Airmen during World War II. Join us Wednesday\, March 26\, at 11:00 a.m. at the museum for this inspiring presentation. \nThis program is free to the public\, but registration is requested https://forms.gle/ChW2HSVa5cuXMQ3Q8 \nAbout the Talk \nGrowing up in the 1960s and ’70s\, Bob Sheppard and his siblings had no idea that their father\, MSgt. James Sheppard\, had served in an all-Black segregated unit of the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II. It wasn’t until later in life that Bob had the opportunity to accompany his father to air shows\, speaking engagements\, and special events\, meeting the legendary Tuskegee Airmen and learning firsthand about their courage\, resilience\, and service. \nAfter his father was no longer able to travel\, Bob stepped in to carry forward his story. Since MSgt. Sheppard’s passing in 2018\, Bob traveled the country\, sharing his father’s experiences and the lasting legacy of the famed 332nd Fighter Group. \nNow\, audiences will have the unique opportunity to hear Bob Sheppard’s compelling presentation\, where he will share a deeply personal account of hardship\, determination\, and triumph. His talk will include a segment from a documentary he co-produced\, offering a powerful glimpse into his father’s journey—from training in Alabama and Michigan to serving in Italy at the height of WWII. \nAbout the Speaker \nA veteran of the broadcasting\, financial services\, and corporate sustainability industries\, Bob Sheppard retired after leading sales and marketing efforts for a U.S. firm specializing in commercial and industrial drones. His passion for history and storytelling now fuels his mission to ensure that the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen continues to inspire future generations.
