Amen to that, Matthew! Thanks for the back-up.
I know, but the topic was for both, and since someone asked and you provided the one, I'd figured i'll post the other. I'm all for promoting 2nd Cav, but I'm also for keeping the spirit of the cav alive too as we all should be.
There is a BIG difference between the two Associations, Matthew. The link you provided is for the US Cavalry Association, which covers ALL Cavalry. The link I provided is strictly for the 2d Cavalry Association, covering only the 2nd Cavalry and all…
Really appreciate your support, Tony. That's the 2nd Cavalry Association store, SPUR OF THE MOMENT. All profits go directly toward helping the active troopers and veterans of the Regiment.
Santa is probably wearing the Stetson you were supposed to…
Thanks Dave, I bought my Stetson from that site when Santa failed to deliver.
Click on the following link for info, Tony. You can either apply online or download the application and mail it in.
Thanks for your support!

- Hi Bill,
I saw your comment about the 2nd Cav at the Little Bighorn. The only reason the 2nd Cavalry wasn't AT the battle was because Custer refused to take them with him. Wanted all the glory to himself. He got it.

Toujours Pret William,
Welcome to the new DragoonBase, the new Base has plenty of newer features, lots of sub-groups,(ie,F-Trp,Amberg,Medics,etc.) and links for 2nd Cav News and History.
Robb Russell has posted some tips for navigating the site (ie,photos,links,ect) in the Forum.
If you need any help, you can contact Robb, or myself, or just yell out, another member may be able to help you.
And our only wish, ‘Keep it clean’, use our Real names/with Pictures(pix from back in the day, work best for searching for Brothers, but any picture will do).
And that you please tell all your friends about the new DragoonBase.
Thanks Again for joining Dragoon Base, and for your service to our great country,
Jesse Kelley
