Transition~ Buffalo Soldier
I hope Mark Matthews is at peace. I'm glad he will be honored in death.

Thank you, I hadn't heard.
A remarkable fellow. He not only served 1916 expedition into Mexico and saw action on Saipan in the South Pacific in WWI, but then had a second career at the NIH, from which he retired as chief of guards in 1970. Colin Powell, then chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, dedicated a monument to honor the Buffalo Soldiers in 1992 at Ft. Leavenworth, Kan. RIP, sir. |
R.I.P. Mr. Matthews

RIP, Mr. Matthews.
Wow, he was 111. |
