Is there any way we could get some Black Members of FR to go down to these areas to walk the border with these guys. I'm not black but I would go if I could afford too.

Cochise County is the site of the Army's Fort Huachuca. We got plenty of black folks and they're a big part of our history. The black 9th and 10th Cavalry Regiments were based here; the Indians called them the Buffalo Soldiers and the name stuck. General Pershing of WWI fame was one of their commanders during the Spanish American War -- that's how he got the nickname Black Jack. There's a lot more to this place than just the OK Corral.
