In view of the fact that General C.Q. Brown, Colin Powell, and the Tuskegee Airmen, among others, have
been recently disparaged, this is a good time to give the propers to the Buffalo Soldiers.
Calling Hill, summoning Johnson;
Taking San Juan Hill, was that Jackson?
Tyree, Brown, Bravo, and their elders
One and all, worthy Buffalo Soldiers!
Someone out there shames the holiday,
Yet Black History needs honor every day.
Heroes fallen know no calendar page,
Bravery is not measured by fad or rage,
Celebrate the republic, not the kingdom.
We do not stand for serving Myrmidon.
