Petition Make things right! Apologize and compensate Africans who fought in WW2.

The government is still begrudging these valiant men with flimsy excuses.
They risked the same lives and fought the same war just as bravely. Help bring justice to the few of these heroes who may still be alive and show them the same gratitude.
