Dave, I’ve tried 2x to donate. Site says it is having technical difficulties. I use TD Bank, if you do also I can transfer directly.  Just need acct # if you wish to do it that way. Email if you want to. If not, I’ll keep trying.

Well, after much haggling and a few threats thrown back-and-forth, Dragoon Base has been renewed for another year. Bastards tried to charge me for 2 years back charges at $600 a year on an upgraded site they screwed up 2 years ago and we never used. Long story short, I told them where they could put the new site and I paid for another year of the old one we are using.

That being said, I am looking for donations again to help cover the $600 out-of-pocket cost to me. Here is a link to the PayPal fund raiser. Every little bit helps. TOUJOURS PRET!

Thanks, Brother. I still have that uniform hanging in my closet. It's in pretty bad shape and smells to the heavens!

Ask them to send you a picture of that machine gunner uniform on display, that you sent them I would like to see what they do with it.

  1. Congratulations Dave, you deserve the recognition you do a lot for the Regiment and the association. You should be on the honor rolls and have your own place in the museum. HOOAH brother.

2d DRAGOONS

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.
