My Fellow Dragoon,
You are invited to join your fellow 2d Dragoons at a very special Reunion.
We will gather at the Holiday Inn Express in Elizabethtown, KY on the 15th of May. Over the next three days you and your comrades in arms will have the opportunity to participate in special events sponsored by Ft. Knox, the local community and your 2d Cavalry Association. Included are a special tribute to the late (and legendary) Colonel Jimmie Leach, tours of the training facilities at Ft. Knox and presentations on the future of Armor and Cavalry.
The Reunion will conclude with an opportunity to participate in the “Stable Call” at the Patton Museum on Monday evening. This event offers the opportunity to mingle with our active duty brethren, participate in a traditional Regimental Punch Bowl Ceremony and hear a presentation on the future of Armor and the Armor Center.
The Armor Center is moving to Ft. Benning and this is the final opportunity to visit Ft. Knox while it is the “Home of Armor and Cavalry”.
IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO ATTEND PLEASE CONTACT Mike Davis via email at MICHEALEP@cs.com or call him at: 571-217-2227. Mike can also answer any questions you may have about the event.
We hope that you will join us for this very special event. Look for more details in the upcoming Thoroughbred.
