Buffalo Soldiers Day, celebrated on July 28, honors African American soldiers who served in the U.S. Army after the Civil War. These brave men, called "Buffalo Soldiers," helped protect settlers and build roads in the wild American West. They got their name from Native Americans because of their curly hair and strong fighting spirit, similar to buffalo. This day remembers their important role in American history and celebrates their courage and contributions. It's a way to appreciate their hard work, bravery, and the challenges they faced while serving their country.
