"Always Prepared" was the motto of the 24th Infantry Regiment, commissioned by Congress in 1866. The 24th Infantry was one of the four original Buffalo Soldiers regiments comprised of volunteer Black men who fought during the Civil War. Serving in the military was a way to a better life for African American men and the beginning of freedom and equality.
