SOULS MADE OF GOLD: Buffalo Soldiers Veterans Weekend in Shiloh in East Texas — November 8, 2025 | https://www.kltv.com/video/2025/11/08/gregg-county-volunteers-honor-veterans-with-cemetery-beautification-efforts/


On this sacred Saturday, the spirit of valor rode again as Buffalo Soldiers from across North Texas journeyed to Shiloh in East Texas to honor a legacy woven in courage, faith, and perseverance. The inaugural Buffalo Soldiers Veterans Day Weekend in Tyler and the Shiloh Community in White Oak, Texas, became a living monument to the men and women whose golden souls helped forge the heart of our nation—the Buffalo Soldiers.



Their story is not just one of battlefields and bravery, but of brotherhood, dignity, and divine purpose. These were men and women of iron will and golden faith, whose loyalty to God, country, and community blazed trails for freedom long before the world fully recognized their worth.



This remarkable weekend also shined a heavenly light upon the Christian Family Military Legacy in the Shiloh Community, whose lineage of faithful warriors continues to reflect the very essence of the Buffalo Soldiers. From 1775 to 2025, generation after generation of the Christian family has stood as living proof that honor, humility, and service are sacred callings—guarded, preserved, and passed on like treasures of the soul.



The celebration reached a glorious crescendo at the world-class Texas African American Museum, a beacon of heritage and hope. Within its walls, history came alive—voices of the past harmonizing with the present in a chorus of gratitude and pride. Laughter, joy, and testimonies filled the air as communities came together to remember, reflect, and rejoice.


From the echoes of the cavalry to the hands of today’s keepers of history, the gathering became a tapestry of unity—woven by faith, strengthened by freedom, and gilded with love.



This day was far more than a remembrance; it was a revival of identity—a celebration of souls made of gold, whose courage continues to shine through every generation that dares to stand for justice, hope, and truth.



Special thanks to the Christian Resource Center and the Texas African American Museum for their extraordinary collaboration, generosity, and unwavering dedication to preserving this golden legacy of resilience and redemption.


The ride continues—our faith still leads the way, and the light of the Buffalo Soldiers still shines bright across the heart of East Texas.



The Buffalo Soldiers Veterans Day Weekend will conclude on Monday, November 10, 2025, at 11AM at the Christian Resource Center, 134 Glenwood Blvd, Tyler, Texas 75702, with the 250 Years of the Christian Family Military Legacy (1775–2025) celebration. During this historic event, the Texas Buffalo Soldiers Association will commemorate the launch of a new chapter—the Randall D. Christian, Sr. Buffalo Soldiers Association at Fort Christian in the Shiloh Community of White Oak, Texas.



A BBQ Lunch will be provided.

NOT GUILTY IN TARRANT COUNTY! Joseph Delancy Stands Victorious with His Grandmother by His Side. Pastor Kyev Tatum, Sr.  https://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/crime/article301585229.html FORT WORTH, TEXAS - When the words “Not Guilty” rang through the courtroom, Shonette “Mama Shon” Hill felt the weight of the world lift from her shoulders. Her grandson, Joseph Delancy, had endured an unimaginable trial—accused of a crime he did not commit, fighting against a system determined to make him a scapegoat. But through it all, Mama Shon stood firm, unwavering in her belief in Joseph’s innocence. With the love only a grandmother can give, she had been his rock, his shield, his fiercest defender. When others turned away, she remained. When doubt crept in, she stood taller. And when the verdict came, she held Joseph close—her faith and love carrying him through the storm.

Aunt Liz the Angel: A Champion for the Six Triple Eight. By Pastor Kyev Tatum, Founding Director, Texas 6888th Project. WASHINGTON, D.C. – On April 29, 2025, inside Emancipation Hall beneath the sacred shadow of the Capitol dome, the soul of America was stirred as our nation finally paused to say “thank you” to the women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion. That day, wrapped in dignity and destiny, the Congressional Gold Medal was placed upon their legacy. And standing at the center of this divine moment, like a hidden angel sent for such a time as this, was none other than Retired Master Sergeant Elizabeth Anne Helm-Frazier—known across our community, and to the cast of the Tyler Perry film, simply and lovingly as Aunt Liz. Let me say it plain: Aunt Liz is God’s gift to the memory of the Six Triple Eight. When the final living members of the battalion took her in, they said something Master Sgt. never forget: “Liz can’t do no wrong in our book.” And I declare today—neithe...
