Our Mission & Goals

We are a non-profit Organization comprised of Proud Volunteers dedicated to:

1. Preserving the memory of the Buffalo Soldier and building a ‘National Memorial’ honoring their service and sacrifices.
2. Education of our youth so they understand and honor the sacrifices made by these Brave Veterans!
3. Creating, funding and administering the Buffalo Soldiers Memorial and endowment program.

The Buffalo Soldiers have been a driving force in most campaigns, at home and abroad. Between the 9th &, 10th (Horse) Cavalry and the 24th & 25th Infantry, 18 Medals of honor were awarded to them in the mid 1800’s. There can be no better tribute to them, than to have all of their names continually etched in the fabric of time.
