The organization prides itself on its ability to foster connections; its work focuses on connecting members with each other, and also with key policymakers at the highest levels.

Enoch "Woody" Woodhouse II, one of the few remaining Tuskegee Airmen, will be celebrated at the inaugural Hanscom FCU Charitable Foundation Honorary Breakfast on September 18.

At just 17 years old, Woodhouse enlisted in the U.S. Army and served in the U.S. Army Air Corps, which later became the U.S. Air Force.

Rising to the rank of second lieutenant at the age of 19, he was assigned to the renowned 332nd Fighter Group, famously known as the Tuskegee Airmen. During his service to our country, Woodhouse, along with other Black Airmen, faced many racist challenges. Despite the obstacles, he successfully managed the finances for a squadron comprised of 992 pilots and over 14,000 other personnel. This squadron achieved remarkable success in combat during World War II.

Following his active duty, Woodhouse joined the Air Force Reserves and retired as a Lieutenant Colonel. He is a graduate of Yale University, holds a law degree from Boston University, and worked as a trial lawyer in his own firm for many years. He has enthusiastically advocated for Veterans, their families, and the military throughout his life.

In a noteworthy achievement, Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker appointed him to the esteemed rank of Brigadier General in 2022.

Recognizing his immense contribution, Woodhouse was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 2007 alongside his fellow Tuskegee Airmen by President George W. Bush.

We are delighted that Brigadier General Woodhouse will be joining us in September for this celebration of his achievements.
