Banks recalls Camp Shanks in Orangeburg when it housed German prisoners of war, whom had more privileges than Black soldiers like himself. Now 98, he cares for his younger brother, age 90. Charlie Maushardt was recognized as this year's Honorary Buffalo Soldier for his years of dedication to Mount Moor Cemetery in West Nyack. The cemetery is the final resting place for men who escaped slavery to fight in the Union Army in the Civil War, Buffalo soldiers from the Spanish-American war and matriarchs of the Black families that settled the Nyacks. Maushardt, 73, is longtime president of the Nam Knights Motorcycle Club's Hudson Valley Chapter '... the strength to fight for our history' Rockland County Legislator Toney Earl noted that the ceremony comes the same month that the U.S. Military Academy at West Point had disbanded cadet clubs focused on ethnicity, gender, race and sexuality in response to the Trump administration's war on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, or DEI, programs. Buffalo Soldiers had a presence at West Point, providing riding instruction and cavalry escort, from 1907 to 1948, before the Army itself was desegregated. "The Buffalo Soldiers hold a special place in our history, leading and serving despite racism," said Earl, D-Spring Valley. "Their legacies will give us the strength to fight for our history." Rockland County Executive Ed Day presented the honors. Rockland County Veterans Service Agency Director Susan Branam served as emcee.
