Dedicated by General Colin Powell in 1992, the Buffalo Soldier Monument is located on the Fort Leavenworth Military Base. In addition to the monument, the Buffalo Soldier Commemorative Area includes the Circle of Firsts and the Walkway Of Units. Just a short walk away is the Berlin Wall Monument. Originally given to President Reagan, these three sections of the wall were later donated to Fort Leavenworth.

We joined Scott's brother on a road trip to Fort Leavenworth in Kansas. We've been talking about visiting the military base for several years and finally made it.
Fun Fact: Of all of the Army posts west of the Mississippi River, Fort Leavenworth is the oldest active post.
