For all who have entered and all who will.....
Added to the Roster on Fiddler's Green: John Francis Holmes, my Father in Law, who passed away Friday Morning 7 March, 2014, at the age of 94. John's first taste of the the military was as a Cavalry ROTC Cadet at the University of Illinois. An honest to God HORSE TROOPER! With the outbreak of WWII, John Became a LT. in the SeaBees, and was one of the very first to set foot on the beach at Guadalcanal! A true hero and a GREAT man! He will be missed!
Harry, Thank You & "don't mind".. for your most rapid response…definetly a demonstration of "Always Ready" and not forgetting to "Remember Your Regiment Follow Your Officers" ..Dick

I just became aware that one my my buddies from the 3/2ACR passed away 11 months ago from a 17 month battle with cancer. Richard (Rich) B. Griffitts was far and above his "peer group" which is I was a part off…Rich retired as an MG, and if you Google his name you will be able to read is obituary and the 100 plus photos of his internment at
Arlington National Cementary. Rich was a gifted& exceptional natural leader far above his contemporaries, USMA grads and myself included 50 years ago in Amberg, Germany. RIP (I would have included the links, but my computer skills are lacking)
Sad news guy's, Abner Smith has passed away a couple of days ago, he was my Plt Ldr, 1st Plt Bravo Company 1st Squadron Bindlach, I think that he arrived there 1960 or so and was a great officer and leader, made all of us feel good about ourselves and what we doing, I will miss him.
Sorry for your loss also, Frank.
Rest In Peace, Kieth. Dragoon for life!
8th Colonel of the Regiment Nelson B. Sweitzer 9 Jun 1886 – 29 Oct 1888
This was the third design of the 2d Cavalry DUI, worn from 1924-1931. The sharp points on the ends of the bottom scroll again called for a redesign.
