From the Sergeant's Desk
 2018 Class of Volunteers and Eastview ACC Campus
The Buffalo Soldiers hit the trail hard over the summer doing programs close to home. Frontier Baseball proved to be the most popular program this summer. Lt. Dolifka presented our Frontier Baseball program to over two thousand boy scouts and adult leaders. But it was not all fun and games for the soldiers either. The Quartermaster has issued lots of new equipment to the Buffalo Soldiers so that they can reach more people and more parks across Texas. July was Buffalo Soldier Heritage Month. Our focus for July was on training and cultivating a new group of volunteers in the Austin area to help spread the message of the Buffalo Soldiers. Above is their picture. Many of them went on to help us with an event at McKinney Falls State Park. The Photo of the Month showcases that very successful program.
Check out the new section called Private Kepi's Corner. This new section will follow our newest recruit's journey in becoming a good soldier. There is lots to learn and he needs your help. Along the way he will share stories and the lessons he learns from being in the Buffalo Soldiers. Keep your eyes and ears on the TPWD Buffalo Soldiers Facebook page so you can get updates on the Private Kepi's adventures!
September is the start of a brand new year for the Buffalo Soldiers. We will start off the year focusing on the region 4; which encompasses the parks around Houston. We are looking at Houston for a potential "Iron Riders" program. Please check out our calendar and come out to an event. We look forward to seeing you out on the trail
Ready Forward! We Can.. We Will!
