From the Sergeant's Desk
 Season's Greetings!
Fall is upon us, the leaves are changing, the air has gotten cooler, the sunsets earlier and it is a time to stop and give thanks for the blessings in life. The Buffalo Soldiers certainly have many things to be thankful for. We are thankful of the veterans whom we all honored on the Nov. 11th, Veterans Day. We are thankful for all the amazing volunteers that help the TPWD Buffalo Soldier Program in so many ways. We are thankful that Sgt. Padilla has rejoined the team after being away on medical leave. We are also thankful that 20 plus years later that our Buffalo Soldier Program is still able to travel the Great State of Texas and share the history of all the Great Peoples of Texas!
November was a very busy month for the Buffalo Soldiers. We visited Mother Neff State Park; the motherland so to speak of the Texas State Park system. Lt. Dolifka went out on campaign to Lost Maples SNA and Pedernales Falls SP while Pvt. Mack marched in the Veterans Day parade with many of our volunteers and then helped train some potential lively new recruits at Palmetto State Park.
December looks to just as busy so if you are ready for an adventure come join us out on the trail. Don't forget to spend time with those you love and enjoy all the holiday goodies and festivities. Despite being out on the frontier the soldiers always made the best of things and enjoyed some holiday cheer the best they could.
Wherever this Holiday Season may take you the Texas Buffalo Soldiers want to wish you all the best!
Ready Forward! We Can.. We Will!
