5 Minutes with James "Pat" Daugherty

Early in the 20th century, the Buffalo Soldiers found themselves being used more as laborers and service troops rather than as active combat units. During World War II the 9th and 10th Cavalry Regiments were disbanded, and the soldiers were moved into service-oriented units, along with the entire 2nd Cavalry Division. One of the infantry regiments, the 24th Infantry Regiment, served in combat in the Pacific theater. Another was the 92nd Infantry Division, AKA the "Buffalo Division", which served in combat during the Italian Campaign in the Mediterranean theater. Another was the 93rd Infantry Division—including the 25th Infantry Regiment—which served in the Pacific theater.

This is a first hand account of action faced by African American warriors who went into Italy as part of the 92nd Infantry Division. Mr. Daugherty has left a legacy for his family and many other Americans. He is a real American hero...a Buffalo Soldier.
