William Rice served during World War II as an esteemed Tuskegee Airman. Some estimates place the number of Tuskegee Airmen still living at as little as a few hundred.The town of Morton, Pennsylvania is preparing to say goodbye to a true American hero. His service during World War II sealed his place in history as a Tuskegee Airman.
William Rice's basement is filled with proof of his accomplishments and distinctions. The home in Morton where he raised his family had a basement that his daughters organized into a living museum of memorabilia celebrating their father and all Tuskegee Airmen. "He signed up for aviation cadet training but while he was waiting, he was drafted," said Robinson, who missed his high school graduation because he was serving his country. "He enlisted before he even graduated from high school."
"I think my father's legacy is really a strong, supportive family man," said Robinson. "He didn't talk about his service that much."

Rest in peace. We've got the watch from here.
