This post inspired by a conversation with Roderick. Thank you.
Around 1988 while we lived in Kansas Glen, Gary, Thomas, Roderick and Anika visited us. Wayne and I took them to the Fort Riley museum where there was a very large display about the Buffalo Soldiers. Before that I didn't know much about them. God bless them for their bravery; for all they did and all they surely much have endured. -Rikki
