They were legends in life but often overlooked in death. That changed Wednesday when 42 Buffalo Soldiers who fought and died in the El Paso area received a lasting tribute.

It was a moving tribute to the untold heros of the southwest. Both my father and I have served in the military. My father after his retirement dedicated much time and travel researching the buffalo soldiers here in the southwest.
I honored his memory by purchasing a brick engraved with his name. The brick will be placed at the memorial along with other who have contributed to recognize and keep the history of the buffalo soldiers alive. I salute my father and those men and women who served as buffalo soldiers. |

Great job, I know they all would be proud of the tribute you all provide. It is good to know there is a great qaulity of folks like ya'll in the El Paso aera.

How do you keep a people down? You 'never' let them 'know' their history.
Read some great military history. The 7th Cavalry got their butts in a sling again after the Little Big Horn Massacre, fourteen years later, the day after the Wounded Knee Massacre. If it wasn't for the 9th Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers, there would of been a second massacre of the 7th Cavalry. Read the book,‘Rescue at Pine Ridge”, and visit website/great military history, http://www.rescueatpineridge.com |

This is a day for tribute, not racist and bigotry. Legends should get more respect and remembered.

Shortly after the article was published, there was a posting that was very racial and uncalled for. Looks as though it was removed (as it should have been). Thank you El Paso times! |

This is a great memorial and I hope one other states will emulate. All veterans old and new, young and old deserve the recognition for giving the ultimate sacrifice for their country, not just in dying but serving when others would rather talk about the war instead of going to battle for themselves. The Buffalo Soldiers gave all when they knew they were not appreciated. I applaud the MC and my home state Texas for doing such a great thing.

Daily Horoscope for December 4
Scorpio
You jump at the chance of some harmless escapism today, and it will do you good provided that you're ready to return to reality again tomorrow. Nevertheless, you shouldn't make any important emotional or financial decisions right now because you may not be viewing the situation in its true light and could easily be influenced by wishful thinking or unrealistic ideals.
