Missing in America Project – Cpl Biggs & Sgt Thompson, Veteran
USA –
Maple Valley, Washington – 09-13-19
Maple Valley, Washington – 09-13-19
ABOUT THE MISSION:
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Patriot Guard Riders, we have been requested by Missing In America Project to stand a flag line for two unclaimed Buffalo Soldiers as they receive their final military honors. Corporal Antonio Biggs served 27 October 1917 to 25 July 1919 (WWI) and Sergeant Willard Thompson, served 13 August 1942 to 18 January 1946 (WWII). It is believed that they were both in the 92nd Infantry Division, a segregated unit that was officially designated “Buffalo Soldiers” with the appropriate shoulder patch. This mission is in conjunction with the Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club national rally being held that weekend in Tacoma. They asked to make this interment a part of their rally. It will be our honor to stand for these two veterans who have lain unclaimed for so many years. Thanks to the work of Missing In America Project these two soldiers will receive their justly earned military honors.
