FORT WORTH, TEXAS — When honor is due, we answer the call.


The Texas Buffalo Soldiers Association is proud to partner with the Warriors Remembrance & Research Foundation (WRRF) and the Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) for the 2026 Honor Project at New Trinity Cemetery. This sacred gathering will pay tribute to the fallen heroes whose service and sacrifice secured the freedoms we enjoy today (https://www.remember4veterans.com/newtrinitycemetery).


“We are grateful to have been selected to participate in this important honor,” says Pastor Kyev P. Tatum, Sr., event coordinator, Senior Pastor of New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church of Fort Worth, and President of the Ministers Justice Coalition of Texas. “Our military men and women deserve to be honored, recognized, and respected by all who have benefited from their sacrifice.”



A Monumental Mission of Remembrance (https://blacktexans.blogspot.com/2026/02/the-pilgrimage-to-patriotism-honoring.html).


The Warriors Remembrance & Research Foundation is committed to ensuring that no veteran is forgotten. WRRF:

• Locates and documents veterans’ graves across Texas community and municipal cemeteries

• Ensures every grave is marked with a veteran medallion flag holder and a 12x18” American flag

• Raises public awareness so families and future generations know who among us served


If we, as a nation, declare that “we will never forget,” then we must demonstrate it — not only in words, but in visible and lasting acts of remembrance.



Honoring L.D. Livingston


This year, special recognition will be given to L.D. Livingston, a Fort Worth native whose life embodied excellence and service. Livingston was:

• A Negro League baseball standout

• A United States Army veteran

• A former New York Harlem Police Officer


Now laid to rest at New Trinity Cemetery, his legacy stands as a testament to courage on the field, in uniform, and in public service.




A Cemetery Restored — A Legacy Reclaimed


Since July 28, 2025 — National Buffalo Soldiers Day — New Trinity Cemetery has experienced a remarkable transformation. What was once forgotten ground has become sacred soil for over 500 military veterans buried there.


Recent milestones include:

• A major cleanup led by the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Labor Detail (August–November 2025)

• A Veterans Day Rededication Ceremony in November

• Wreaths Across America in December with American Legion Post 655

• The inaugural Buffalo Soldiers MLK Day of Service in January

• “Digging for Dignity” historical tours hosted by the Texas Buffalo Soldiers Association and Friends of New Trinity Cemetery


New Trinity is no longer neglected ground. It is now a place of grace.




The Travis Manion Foundation: “If Not Me, Then Who”


In 2026, the Travis Manion Foundation will expand its Memorial Day efforts to more than 60 cemeteries nationwide. Volunteers will place handcrafted commemorative tokens at the resting places of fallen heroes and pause to reflect on their service.


Founded in memory of 1stLt Travis Manion, USMC — who was killed in Iraq in 2007 while saving his wounded teammates — TMF lives by his powerful words:


“If Not Me, Then Who…”


Guided by that ethos, veterans and families of fallen heroes continue serving their communities, mentoring youth, and strengthening the character of our nation.


TMF is a community open to all — veterans and civilians alike — who share a passion for service, sacrifice, and honoring our fallen.




When Forgotten Ground Becomes Sacred Sound


On Saturday, May 16, 2026, the flags will rise. Medallions will shine. Names will be spoken. Stories will be remembered.


Because when honor is due, we do not delay.

When sacrifice has been made, we do not forget.

And when heroes rest among us, we rise to remember them.

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. This was not just a victory for Joseph. It was a testament to a grandmother’s unbreakable love. A FIGHT FOR JUSTICE, ...

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...
