The Fort Vancouver National
Trust will honor a regiment of black
so ld ie rs w ho serv ed at the
Vancouver Barracks in 1899 during
an annual Celebrate Freedom Veter­
ans Parade at Fort Vancouver, Sat­
urday, Nov. 6 at 11 a.m.
“Honoring the Buffalo Soldiers’
Service at Vancouver Barracks” is
the theme of this year’s parade. In
April 1899, soldiers from Company
B of the Twenty-fourth U.S. Infan­
try Regiment arrived at Vancouver
Barracks. This marked the First time
in the history of the post that a unit
from one of the Army ’ s four African
American regiments, known as Buf­
falo Soldiers, comprised the post’s
regular garrison of troops.
The parade will take place rain or
shine. Participants and parade goers
should be prepared for all weather
conditions. Street closures will oc­
cur starting at 8 a.m. in the parade
lineup areas along Evergreen Blvd.
and at 10:30 a.m. along the parade
route.
The parade grand marshal is First
Citizen Royce Pollard, former mayor
of Vancouver and commanding of­
ficer at Vancouver Barracks. The
Wells Fargo stage coach is sched­
uled to transport the Grand Marshal
along the parade route.
