Buffalo Soldier

Posted by Roy Frady Labels: ,

As a cavalry soldier, I have been afforded many opportunities and been assigned to many units over the years.  I first saw this memorial when I was at Fort Bliss in 2006 for the First Sergeant Course, prior to returning to Korea.  It reminded me of my time in the 1st Squadron,10th Cavalry at Fort Knox in the old 194th Armored Brigade.  Here on my second visit, I got to see it anew with a friend as we were working here on post.  There are never too many memorials to our heritage.

Arizona Sunset

Posted by Roy Frady Labels:

In my new position as a Consultant for the Army, I get the opportunity to travel a bit.  I had heard about the sunsets in Arizona, but this was a first for me.  Even worse, I had no tripod or camera, just my cell phone.  I will be prepared for the next time I make it to Southern AZ.
