"Few Americans know the histoy-changing story of the USS Mason, a World War II warship manned by an African-American crew that served as a role model for the integration of U.S. Navy ships. At a time when most blacks in the Navy were relegated to mess duties, the crew of the USS Mason escorted six convoys across the perilous North Atlantic, from the weeks leading up to the D-Day invsion until V-E day in 1945. As part of the so-called Hunter-Killer groups that defeated the German U-boats, they helped win the Batle of the Atlantic. Proudly We Served: Tha Men of the USS Mason tells the story of these brave men and their contributions to the Allied victory."
