He was cited for heroism that year against the Apaches in Arizona.Greensboro will get a chance to recognize McBryar this July when the national 9th and 10th Cavalry Association holds its annual convention at the Koury Convention Center. More than 500 people are expected to attend.The association perpetuates the memory of the Buffalo Soldiers. The membership includes a few aging Buffalo troopers who served from the 1920s to the early 1940s.The Buffalo Soldier era is defined by some as 1870 to 1916.
