"...the Buffalo Soldiers have returned to take their place among Americas heroes."
As far as I know this is an accurate history that reflects the official Army record. When I was stationed at Ft. Huachuca, AZ (next to Sierra Vista), I visited the base museum which has an extensive history of the Buffalo Soldiers (there's a large bronze statue of a 9th Cavalry Buffalo soldier at the main gate).
Its one of the most interesting military museums I've ever spent time in. Lots of info on the Apache wars (Geronimo), the 9th & 10th cav, and San Juan Hill.

It seems to me that a good number of the Medal of Honor that were given went to members of the 10th Cavalry. Thanks for your input on it.
