Buffalo Soldiers of Portland Oregon

http://buffalosoldierspdx.com/Home_Page.php
African Americans served in the American military, starting in the American Revolution. During the Civil War, the United States government recruited African Americans to fight for the Union. This tradition continued after the Civil War, where these soldiers serving in segregated units became nicknamed Buffalo Soldiers. In the years leading up to the end of segregation in the U.S. military, the Buffalo Soldiers gained a reputation of serving with distinction and honor. Today there are Buffalo Soldier organizations across the United States continuing the original ideal of public service. This is the website of the Portland chapter.
