sible for escorting settlers, cattle herds, and railroad crews on their

became a popular celebration of history within the community; and
WHEREAS, In 1973, Colonel Floyd McAfee placed a "Memorial Rock" at the
intersection of Thayer Road and Mills Road as a marker for the Black

West Point; and
WHEREAS, Since the 1990s, the color guard from the United States Mili-
tary Academy Military Police Company together with buglers from the

school's band have provided support for the Buffalo Soldiers' Memorial
Service and Reunion, which concludes with a 21-gun salute; and
WHEREAS, Established in 2008, the Buffalo Soldiers Association of West
Point was founded by Retired Staff Sergeant Sanders H. Matthews, a
former West Point Buffalo Soldier, with a vision of expanding the
Buffalo Soldiers Memorial event, increasing educational programs, and
enhancing the awareness of the contributions and experiences of soldiers
and veterans in the Hudson Valley region; and

WHEREAS, In addition, members of the National Association of Buffalo
Soldiers and Troopers Motorcycle Club, Northeast Frontier, began to
attend the Buffalo Soldiers wreath laying ceremony at the "Memorial
Rock" in 2011, and a local chapter at West Point was created two years

ues to host annual commemorative events in order to educate the public,
honor and celebrate our Nation's military personnel, and create initi-
atives which preserve the legacy of the Buffalo Soldiers; and
WHEREAS, Much has changed since the days of the Buffalo Soldiers,
including the integration of all military servicemen and women, but the
story of these remarkable units continue to be one of unsurpassed cour-
age and patriotism, and will forever remain a significant part of the
history of our nation; and
WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that those organiza-
tions which give positive definition to the distinguished history and
indomitable spirit of the communities of the State of New York, do so
profoundly strengthen our shared commitment to the exercise of freedom;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commend the Buffalo Soldiers Association of West Point, New York, upon
the occasion of hosting its An Evening To Remember Black Tie Gala; and
be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
