VILSECK, Germany – July 2, 2008 – The Vilseck community announces the establishment of the Dragoon Foundation – a private organization designed to support the Soldiers and families of the 2d Stryker Cavalry Regiment. The Foundation serves to promote camaraderie and fellowship among the Regiment, and to honor and perpetuate the memory of those Soldiers who distinguished themselves by their services and sacrifices while serving with the 2d Stryker Cavalry Regiment.
The Dragoon Foundation, which operates through membership dues, fundraisers and private donations, is currently raising money for the purpose of creating a memorial. Located in Vilseck, Germany, the memorial will serve as a permanent reminder to the fallen Soldiers while assigned to the Regiment during its support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. For more information, or to become a member, please contact the Dragoon Foundation at dragoonfoundation@yahoo.com or by mail at: Dragoon Foundation, CMR 411 GD-19, APO AE 09112.
Upcoming events include membership drives and fundraisers at the Grafenwoehr PX from 1100-1700 on Saturday, July 12th and August 9th. We will also have a booth at the Grafenwoehr Volksfest from 1-3 August. Our next meeting is July 16th at 6:30 pm at the Fiddler’s Green coffee house on Rose Barracks.
