We support the preservation of African American history. We ride under the name of the "Buffalo Soldiers" to express our pride in and our respect for the many accomplishments they made, during the decades following the civil war. The Native Americans gave the soldiers the nickname "Buffalo Soldiers" as a testament to their valor in battle.  

The buffalo was a sacred animal to the Native Americans, so the name would not be bestowed if it was not earned. The Buffalo Soldiers were ferocious in battle, fighting to the end, and living up to their mottos:  "We can, We Will"; "Ready and Forward".  We honor their legacy through community service.
