El Paso, Texas
Today was a great day of driving. We had rain all around us but none on us. I stopped at Fort Bliss and learned about the Buffalo Soldiers. This African-American cavalry unit served on the western frontier as the 9th and 10th Cavalry regiment from 1867 to 1943. Initially they were charged with keeping the peace and protecting settlers. They earned the name Buffalo Soldiers from their Native Anerican adversaries out of respect for their courage and fighting prowess. Read more about the memorial on the link below.
