"D-Train"... Born Damon M. Lowry on February 26, 1968 in Philadelphia, Pa.  I moved to California in January 2004 and am the proud Father of two absolutely beautiful girls, DeAnna & DeNeen and currently expecting my third child with "Chiquita".  This will be the third for the both of us.  I have two girls and so does she so, needless to say, we are praying for a boy but will love what God blesses us with just the same.  I have two older brothers and one younger sister.  I work for Union Pacific Railroad as a Locomotive Engineer ( I drive the train) and have been with the railroad since March '04.  After almost six (6) years on the job, I am proud to still be able to say that I absolutely love my job. 

 

I first became interested in the Buffalo Soldiers, about eight (8) years ago, after talking with my dad who fellowshiped with them in Philly.  Although not a member, he was very complimentary of the things that they stood for and the manner in which they carried themselves.  That sparked an undying interest in me to one day become a Buffalo Soldier but at the time I didn't have a bike.  Sometime in mid '07, I ran into "Big Ru" at a gas station and told him that I was interested in becoming a Soldier and he gave me his contact info and I told him that I would contact him when I got a bike.  Not long after, I lost all of my contacts out of my phone (I'm sure you can relate) and had no way of contacting him.  On August 14, 2009, Chiquita and I strolled into the Harley Dealer and purchased our bike and just as we were about to leave I spotted "Dreamer".  He got me back in touch with "Big Ru" and the Buffalo Soldiers and on Saturday November 21, 2009, I was sworn in as a PROUD Buffalo Soldier. Big shout out to "Ru", "Dreamer" and all of my Buffalo Soldier brothers and sisters around the world.

 

 

I am very proud of the rich history of the Buffalo Soldiers and will continue to spread my knowledge of them and their accomplishments to as many people as I possibly can.
