The Buffalo Soldiers. 25th Infantry Regiment. A Legacy Forged in Service.
Activated in 1866 from the ranks of Black soldiers who had fought for the Union in the Civil War, the 25th Infantry Regiment became one of the most storied units in American military history. This premium 15oz white ceramic mug honors that legacy with the regimental Coat of Arms (COA) — the heraldic symbol of a regiment that served with distinction across nine decades and some of America's most consequential conflicts.
From the Frontier to the Pacific. The 25th Infantry Never Stopped.
The soldiers of the 25th Infantry Regiment were among the original Buffalo Soldiers — the name given by the Native American tribes they faced on the frontier, a name the regiment wore with pride. From the American Indian Wars on the Great Plains to the Spanish–American War in Cuba and the Philippines, through the Philippine–American War and into World War II, the 25th Infantry Regiment answered every call. They served in a racially segregated Army that denied them equal recognition — and they served with excellence anyway. The regiment was deactivated in 1957 as the Army integrated, but its Coat of Arms and its legacy endure.
