On September 6, 2005, Mark Matthews, who was the oldest living Buffalo Soldier, died at the age of 111. He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery.\n\nOne hundred and eleven!  Yow!\n\nWhen the military was integrated during the Korean War (Harry Truman; greatest president EVER), the buffalo soldiers were disbanded.

Well there are a few. My Grandfather (my papa) he was in the Military. My dad, he passed away on May 29,1992. So, this Memorial Day it will have been 14 years since he died. He will be greatly missed. I love him very much and it is still so hard to deal with. And of course I always think of the men and women who have died for us and the men and women over there right now.My prayers are with all the family's of the men and women serving today.\nBy The BradAusmusls.....GO ASTROS!!!!!

That was over 90 years ago and then men who served must be well over 100 years of age. But since it was so long ago, I'm sure the Army's in Europe weren't very organized at the time. And there is little knowledge of who served. But there is less than 50 still living within the US. So I would say maybe around 100 (and that's pushing it!)\nProud Great Grand-Daughter of Cpl.

This was the best that I could find under the 11th calvarly.\nLots of luck to you in locating your friends...\n\nThe 11th Armored Cavalry's Veterans of Vietnam & Cambodia was founded in 1984 after 75 names of  Blackhorse Troopers were collected in Washington DC at the dedication of the "Three Fighting Men" statue near the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.\n\nReunions have been held every year since 1986.  Reunion sites have been: Arlington, TX; Washington, DC; Louisville, KY;  Minneapolis, MN; Sacramento, CA; Philadelphia, PA; San Antonio, TX;  Indianapolis, IN; Colorado Springs, CO; Appleton, WI; Louisville, KY; Las Vegas, NV; New Orleans, LA; San Diego, CA; Buffalo, NY;  Ft. Myers, VA; Nashville, TN; Eugene OR;  Daytona FL; and the 2006 Reunion will be held at Kansas City, MO. In 2007 Louisville, KY. has been chosen to host the reunion.\n\nWe have been able to reunite many of our brothers by keeping a computer master file of everyone we've found by their name, squadron and troop and their dates in-country.  We update our rosters continuously to assure they are accurate and complete. We have reunited many buddies this way.\n\nWe publish a quarterly newsletter to each member of 11 ACVVC with reunion information, historical stories by our membership and information about our current members and events.  Participation in contributing to the contents of the newsletter is encouraged to all.\n\nWe provide scholarships to our K.I.A.'s children, our 11 ACVVC members, and the children of our membership.  In the past years, we have provided over $375,000.00 in college scholarships to help defray the expensive costs of a college education.  Scholarships are for $3,000 per individual.  This program is one of our most coveted programs, helping our children get an education and to become our leaders for the future of our country\n\nSource: www.11thcavnam.com

As far as I know, they all still exist, although some of the land may have been washed away.  The area near Plaquemines parish, Jefferson Parish, and Orleans parish were hard hit by Katrina.  Now they are just a little "Poorish".

What Americans call "buffalo" is actually a bison.\n\nIn the rest of the world, the term "buffalo" is generally used for the animal Americans call "water buffalo."

Albert Woolson of Minnesota was a Union drummer boy who died in 1956, and the Civil War's last authenticated survivor. On the Confederate side the answer is somewhat more difficult to confirm. \n\nAn article by historian William Marvel, published in Blue and Gray magazine in February 1991, and titled "The Great Impostors," names Pleasant Crump of the 10th Alabama, who died in 1951, the last Confederate vet. Prior claimants to the distinction included Walter Washington Williams (who died December 19, 1959) of Texas and John Salling (who died March 19, 1959) of Virginia. A thorough check of official census records by Marvel suggests that both Williams and Salling were too young to have served.

To answer your question, no.\nThey weren't drafted and what they are doing in the middle East is often atrocious.

With the way they are currently playing, of course they will.  The Sabres have the right size and speed to compete in the NHL.  Also, they have a very good goaltending situation.  If Martin Biron struggles, they have Mika Noronen and and Ryan miller will return from injury soon.\n\nConsidering that 8 teams make the playoffs, a good team like Buffalo has a legitimate shot of doing so.

Not that I know of....try classmates.com or google their name.  Try to think of what they used to be involved in or what their interests were; perhaps they have remained...if so....start searching those topics for groups / web pages....ie Militay.com; Yahoo Groups
