A Buffalo Soldier who won the Medal of Honor in 1889 has been buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
The Missing in America Project helped get Mays moved to Arlington from the cemetery of an Arizona hospital. The Old Guard Riders provided the motorcycle escort.
My first unit was D Troop 2/9 Cavalry which was one of the great Buffalo Regiments. The other was the 10th Cavalry. I have previously written about Corporal Edward Scott of K Troop of the 10th and his action at Pinito.
