M’chaka chino cha Surry Countians Continuing the Dream, tinatenga nthawi yolemekeza asilikali a njati a m’dera lathu amene ankatumikira dziko lawo. Kwa omwe mwina adaphonya izi, ndiroleni ndikulembeni.
Tiyeni tiyambe kuyambira pachiyambi. Kodi Asilikali a Buffalo ndi ndani? Anthu aku America aku America adagwirapo nkhondo iliyonse yaku America, koma Nkhondo Yapachiweniweni idasintha momwe amagwirira ntchito.
Nkhondo yachiŵeniŵeni itavuta kwambiri asilikali pamene tinali kumenyana mwa ife tokha, zinaonekeratu kuti asilikali ankafunika amuna ophunzitsidwa bwino kuti amenyane nawo. Pa July 28, 1866, Army Reorganization Act inavomereza magulu angapo atsopano, kuphatikizapo magulu awiri okwera pamahatchi (9 ndi 10) ndi magulu awiri a asilikali a ku America a ku America (24 ndi 25). Oposa theka la "asilikali achikuda a Nkhondo Yapachiweniweni" adasaina, ndipo kwa nthawi yoyamba Afirika Achimerika adawonedwa ngati ankhondo okhazikika.
Magawo awa adakwezedwa kuti athandize kumanganso dzikolo pambuyo pa nkhondo ndikuthandizira pakukulitsa chakumadzulo kwa United States. Akukhulupirira kuti Plains Native Americans adatcha dzina lakuti "Buffalo Soldier", koma chifukwa chenicheni cha dzinali sichidziwika.

Asilikali a Buffalo adamaliza ntchito yawo pankhondo yaku Korea mu 1951 Purezidenti Truman atapereka Executive Order 9981 kuti athetse tsankho lankhondo, koma mbiri yawo idakalipo. Asilikali awa sanangothandiza America kukhala dziko lalikulu komanso mphamvu yapadziko lonse lapansi, komanso adathandizira madera athu kukhala momwe alili lero.

Zotsalira zonona zonona zimatha kuzizira mufiriji. Amayi anga nthawi zonse amaundana ngati chakudya cha galu masana. Kodi amakonda kusonkhanitsa kuti matalala? Pa mulu wa malasha pabwalo!
Nthano yakale ya m'tawuni, simuyenera kudya chipale chofewa choyamba cha chaka chifukwa komwe kumagwa matalala, m'mlengalenga mumakhala mabakiteriya. Ndizofanana ndi nthano ya agogo yomwe yakhalapo kwa mibadwomibadwo, ndipo ndi yofanana ndi mulu wa mabedi. Amayi anga ankakonda kupanga snow cream kuchokera ku chipale chofewa chilichonse chomwe chimagwa m'nyengo yozizira. Zimenezi sizinkaika pangozi thanzi lake ndipo anakhala ndi moyo zaka 90. Chipale chofewa chikachita chilichonse, chimapha mabakiteriya padziko lapansi. Ndizosangalatsa kudziwa kuti mibadwo yakale inali ndi nthawi yambiri yaulere ndipo palibe chabwino kuposa kupanga nthano zopusazi zomwe sizili kanthu koma zachisoni komanso zoopsa.
Zima ikadalipo milungu isanu ndi umodzi, koma pamakhala zizindikiro zosaoneka bwino za kasupe pa kapinga.
