      Always glad to see another north-westerner.

      My dad was the 1st Battalion motors officer in Bindlach/Bayreuth from late 1953 until early 1955, at which time the regiment was preparing to rotate back to the States. Dad was a 5'0" tall, bald-headed CWO-2. You would have known him if you ever crossed paths.

      Welcome home Trooper.
      The Dragoonbase.com, has
      plenty of updated features
      (similar to MySpace), lots of sub-groups,
      (Officers Club,F-Trp,Amberg,Medics,and the
      always busy Oldtimers club).
      Also links for “2nd Cavalry Assn.”
      News and History Centers.

      Robb Russell has posted some tips for
      navigating the site(ie,photos,links,ect)
      in the Forum.

      Please feel free to stop by and read the
      latest “Tacoma Dave's ‘Triva Quiz’”,
      you can learn some 2nd Cav history,
      and you could even, win a kool prize.

      If you need any help, you may contact
      Robb Russell, or any of the 5 admins listed
      at the top of the page, or just yell out,
      another member may be able to help you.

      And our only wish is to,
      ‘Keep it clean’.
      Use your real name and picture,
      (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, where to find the DragoonBase.

      Thanks again for joining Dragoon Base,
      and for your Service and Dedication,
      to Our Great Country.
