Black Officer in a Buffalo Soldier Regiment: The Military Career of Charles YoungAn unheralded military hero, Charles Young (1864 1922) was the third black graduate of West Point, the first African American national park superintendent, the first black U. S. military attach , the first African American officer to command a Regular Army regiment, and the highest ranking black officer in the Regular Army until his death. Black Officer in a Buffalo Soldier Regiment tells the story of the man who willingly or not served as a standard

An unheralded military hero, Charles Young (1864-1922) was the third black graduate of West Point, the first African American national park superintendent, the first black U.S. military attach , the first African American officer to command a Regular Army regiment, and the highest-ranking black officer in the Regular Army until his death. Black Officer in a Buffalo Soldier Regiment tells the story of the man who--willingly or not--served as a standard-bearer for his race in the officer corps for nearly thirty years, and who, if not for racial prejudice, would have become the first African American general. Brian G. Shellum describes how, during his remarkable army career, Young was shuffled among the few assignments deemed suitable for a black officer in a white man's army--the Buffalo Soldier regiments, an African American college, and diplomatic posts in black republics such as Liberia. Nonetheless, he used his experience to establish himself as an exceptional cavalry officer. He was a colonel on the eve of the United States' entry into World War I, when serious medical problems and racial intolerance denied him command and ended his career. Shellum's book seeks to restore a hero to the ranks of military history; at the same time, it informs our understanding of the role of race in the history of the American military.

Cute and elevated
Color: 10-Gold-100
These are really cute and really elevate our client experience at a minimal investment. We offer a complimentary glass of champagne to our clients and we use these as an addition to serve juice, soda or water. They are durable and pretty think, much better than using a thinner red solo cup and the gold addition the cups really makes them look expensive.

Great cups for any occassion!
Color: 9-Silver-200
These cups worked great for the rehearsal brunch and we were able to use the rest at one of the beverage stations at the reception. They were very good quality and the silver ring around the top added extra sparkle. Highly recommend!

Great Quality and Elegant Look!
Color: 9-Silver-100
I ordered these 9 oz silver-trimmed plastic cups for a dinner gathering , and they turned out perfect. The silver rim gives them an upscale, classy look great for parties or more formal events like weddings. They’re sturdy and don’t feel flimsy at all, even when filled with ice and drinks. Guests complimented them several times, thinking they were real glass! Cleanup was easy since they’re disposable, but honestly, they’re durable enough to rinse and reuse if you want. Highly recommend for anyone looking to elevate their party setup without spending a lot.

Good quality choice
Color: 9-Gold-200
Very good quality for a wedding. Used for wine with a larger size for beer. Great match and not flimsy or thin quality. Can be washed and used again as the gold band doesn't wash off easily and they still look new after one use, or toss.
