The Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club of Clarksville, TN helped our community yesterday by making a donation of $1000.00 to the Clarksville Area Ministerial Association (CAMA) to provide help to flood victims. The donation will allow CAMA to purchase much needed supplies to deliver to those affected by the flood.
The Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club recently returned home from attending their annual frontier meeting in Oklahoma City, a 1400 mile bike ride. Along the way, they and saw first hand the damage created by the Great Flood of 2010.
The club is consistently involved in the community and has adopted the residents of the Montgomery Care and Rehabilitation Center (Nursing Home) as a special club project. On the last Saturday of each month they visit with the residents, and feed them cake and ice cream to celebrate all of the birthdays for that month. They also hold a bingo game and provide stuffed animals to the winners.
Another special club project is to help ensure that the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Parkway remains litter free. Once per quarter they pick up litter from I-24 area down to Madison Ave.

Keep telling that history:
Read the novel, Rescue at Pine Ridge, “RaPR”, where Buffalo Bill Cody meets a Buffalo Soldier. A great story of black military history…the first generation of Buffalo Soldiers.
How do you keep a people down? ‘Never’ let them ‘know’ their history.
The 7th Cavalry got their butts in a sling again after the Little Big Horn Massacre, fourteen years later, the day after the Wounded Knee Massacre. If it wasn’t for the 9th Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers, there would of been a second massacre of the 7th Cavalry.
Read the novel, “Rescue at Pine Ridge”, 5 stars Amazon, Barnes & Noble and the youtube trailer commercial…and visit the website http://www.rescueatpineridge.com
