Did You Know? US Army Soldiers protected our National Parks until 1914. In 1903 Buffalo Soldiers of the 9th Cavalry, led by Captain Charles Young, were garrisoned at the Presidio of San Francisco. Among other duties, they were stewards of Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks. They rested in Los Banos on day 7 of their 16 day journey by horseback from the Presidio to Sequoia.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

On February 25th 2010, the House Subcommittee on Parks, Forests, and Public Lands will be conducting a legislative hearing on Congresswoman Speir’s proposed bill regarding the National Park Service study on the Buffalo Soldier National Historic Trail.

The Los Banos Buffalo Soldiers Association has been invited to testify on why this bill is benificial and in the best interest of Congress.

This is a direct result of all of YOU supporting this nationally significant cause! This is truly an exciting development! We could not of reached this point without all of you supporting this project.

Are we a step away from getting Charles Young promoted to Brigader- General as well?

With your help, “we can, we will”.

Thank you for your continued support!
