The 2d Cavalry Association will be hosting a virtual celebration of the 188th Anniversary of the of the founding of the 2d Cavalry Regiment. Dragoons are encouraged to assemble for this event. Visek Germany, Gettysburg National Battlefield, and the Twiggs Family Cemetery in Augusta, Georgia, burial location of the 1^st Colonel of the Regiment, have already been identified as assembly areas. We hope other locations will materialize as dragoons let us know where they will be for this celebration.

Please plan to join us on Microsoft Teams Thursday May 23, 2024, at 11:00AM Eastern to acknowledge this great day in the history of the Regiment.

Is there any interest in meeting in Micanopy, Florida for this event? This was the site of the Battle of Welika Pond.

Joe Deskevich I will be in Ft. Pierce at Ole Fort Pierce Park another temporary garrison for 400 Dragoons starting Jan 14 1837. Hopefully any local Dragoons will take part on another historic event that will be somewhat 1st of its kind.

Old Ft. Peirce park Florida, one time home of 400 Dragoons on the Indian River lagoon will be a site I will host if, anyone is interested. Lots of sun, fun and making memories. PS, make sure you bring your SPF.
