How odd that the photo of the soldier has deleted his head and shoulders! Great story though

Nice read. Since WW2 the term Buffalo Soldier applied to all members of the 9th and 10th Cavalry Regiments. I was a proud member of both. The 1/9 Real Cav and the 3/10 Cav. So a Buffalo Soldier in the Vietnam and later eras are not always Black.
As a veteran I am so glad to see that he is no longer unknown.

As with Rudy, I was assigned to the 1st Squadron, 9th Cavalry while at Fort Hood. Proud to have been a "Buffalo" soldier for that short time period.
