Hey, Ray: What a great bunch of pics!! Some wonderful memories. Yeah, I in there - that nerdy looking LT with the dark rim glasses right in the center front row! I had command of the troop from 1 Jan 68 til mid summer some time when I went to be the Sqdn S3. Those pics of the stadium in Nuremberg remind me that we took part in the last military formation the Germans allowed in that place before they started tearing it down - or at least making sure there were no more sighns of the Nazis. Thanks for sharing!!!

Toujours Pret Ray,
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

Tell us a little about your cav days.

My wife and I lived off base at 177 Zollnerstrasse. I didn't spend a lot of time with her. I was either in Graff, Hornsfells training or on boarder duty. T Clipperton from Iowa, Murry from Ohio, Bob Landon-Ohio, Jenkins-Mass,Ronnie Denham-Fla,Frank Lucido- Ohio, all of us enjoyed the Rod and Gun Club.
