761st Tank Battalion: Come Out Fighting Ceramic Coffee Mug

The 761st Tank Battalion, nicknamed the "Black Panthers," made history as the first African-American armored unit to see combat in World War II. Activated on April 1, 1942, at Camp Claiborne, Louisiana, these courageous soldiers overcame segregated facilities, violent confrontations, and military leadership that kept them training and wanted to deny them the opportunity to prove their worth in combat. Under their motto "Come Out Fighting," they served an extraordinary 183 consecutive days on the front lines across six European countries, helping to liberate 30 towns and the Gunskirchen concentration camp. Their exceptional valor earned them 391 decorations including one Medal of Honor, 11 Silver Stars, and 69 Bronze Stars.
