DESCRIPTION:July 28, 1866, our U.S. Congress authorized United States Colored Troops to 
 officially join the regular US Army.\n\nThe 9th Cavalry and 10th Cavalry 
 were organized as segregated regiments on Monday, September 21, 1866 as 
 part of the US Army in both New Orleans, Louisiana and Ft. Leavenworth, 
 Kansas. \n\nMaj/Gen. Philip Sherdian was authorized to raise the 9th 
 cavalry from soldiers within his own Civil War USCT command, the Military 
 division of the Gulf, at New Orleans in 1866. \n\nColonel Benjamin H. 
 Grierson, was authorized to raise the 10th Cavalry at Ft. Leavenworth, 
 Kansas \nfrom the volunteer colored regiments that wanted to enlist in the 
 regular regiments after the US Civil War.\n\nTogether, we pause and 
 celebrate this momentous occasion. 160 Year Anniversary of the Buffalo 
 Soldiers, globally.\n\nFrom American Legion Buffalo Soldier Post 333 - S.F.
