Today is National Buffalo Soldiers Day. The holiday celebrating the contributions of some of the earliest African-American troops in the United States military.
The U.S. Congress recognizes the contributions of the more than 180,000 black Americans who fought to preserve the Union during the Civil War, by passing legislation known as the Army Organization Act, establishing six regular Army regiments of black enlisted soldiers. Of those six units, the 9th and 10th Cavalry regiments become two of the most highly decorated units in American military history.
