We went to the Heritage Park and the Buffalo Soldier Memorial as a field trip. At Heritage Park we saw the Kansas Vietnam Memorial Wall. The wall is made out of black granite that when it rains the names go away. Then when its drys you can see the names again. You can also trace those who's names you know. We learned a lot about the wall and all the sacrifice that were made by all.
We also visited the Buffalo Soldier Memorial.It was built to honor all the Black Horse Soldiers and the sacrifice that they made.It shows a mounted soldier on his horse with his gear.The Buffalo Soldier Memorial also had red bricks with the names of those who donated to make it happen.The Buffalo Soldier was a very important part of Fort Riley and Junction City during that time.
