Thanks for sharing PO1 William "Chip" Nagel the Buffalo Soldiers were a fearless unit with a great reputation.

Thanks for sharing, if my memory is correct the Buffalo Soldiers distinguished themselves many times during the Indian wars. Also while not politically correct, I believe that they got the name because the Indians thought their hair looked similar to Buffalo hair.

Sgt Jay Jones - By the way. My great uncle retired from the 10th Calvary as a First Sergeant. He is buried at Fort Leavenworth.
