Ned Randolph presented a joint proclamation
declaring Saturday 4 March ’06 as “Buffalo
Soldiers Day.” This momentous occasion was
closed by a 21 gun salute from the Pineville

is home to 57 original Buffalo Soldiers. If you’
re ever in Alexandria, take a moment to stop
by the Cemetery and pay respect to our fallen
fathers. This addition of the Alexandria

the state from the Northwest corner, Central
and ending in the Southeast. We want to
extend a hearty welcome and a big thank you
for your hospitality Alexandria.
Moving on, another milestone was reached
this month. Our club President Big Sarge,

prosperity and may God bless you and your

serving! Well brothers and sisters that is it

Greetings soldiers, by any measure, 2005
was a memorable year…a year marked by
unprecedented disasters, excruciating
sacrifices, and dramatic aspirations for
peace, freedom and dignity.
The world mourned the passing of Rosa
Parks, Coretta Scott King and many other
prominent figures of our community. We
should also take time to mourn those who
are fighting the global war on terrorism. In
addition to this man-made scourge, we
witnessed the natural disasters that defied
imagination, from the horrible destruction
wrought by the Asian tsunami, South Asian
earthquake and the painful images of our
own people suffering in the wake of
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
However, we have remain vigilant in our
faith and reached out to our brothers and
sisters in New Orleans and Mississippi in
order to provide as much comfort as we
could to help them get back to
normalcy…granted we are not all the way
there yet, but we will continue to strive to
get there.
As we move into a new year, we are excited
to announce a new BSMC to join our
national ranks. On March 4, 2006 the
Alexandria, LA chapter chose to celebrate
their induction as the 48th chapter of the
group with a historical service. 60 bikers
from the BSMC included members from
chapters in Mississippi, Texas, and Georgia,
as well as Louisiana, took part in a
motorcade from the Farmer's Market in
Alexandria to the Alexandria National
Cemetery in Pineville, LA. The procession
was escorted by Pineville and Alexandria
