Order# 133-02 designate a VUA for 2/2 Order# 244-01 designate a VUA for HHT as well as Troops I, K, and L Order# 269-14 designate a MUC for the entire Regiment for their last deployment to Afghanistan. Perhaps it was always just a rumor, but is it possible for someone else to inquire about a unit award for the Regiment's 15 month tour in Iraq VII-IX during the surge campaign? Respectfully, Charles Creed Looks like there are several adds since 2004.

Unfortunately, these inscriptions would involve the “other” 2d Cavalry Regiment, which was formed in 1855 and redesignated 5th US Cavalry in 1861. We represent the 2d Regiment of Dragoons, formed in 1836 and redesignated 2d US Cavalry in 1861. I would suggest contacting the 5th Cavalry Association at http://www.5thcav.org/ Hope this helps. Fred,

Records have been lost, poorly kept, or not kept at all. This is NOT an official list, but close as I have for now. No way I can assign numbers and have it come out with any sense or reason. There are those who will argue the current number for the Colonel of the Regiment, also. Still a lot of discrepancies in the names and dates, plus some gaps.

Her house was in Belgium, in the village of Sainte-Marie Chevigny near Libramont at 20km of Bastogne. During winter 1944 in the Belgium’s Ardennes, they had at home some US Army military for couple of days. One of those US military was an Officer with surname of Roland and with grade of Captain (At least an Officer). I do not know his corps (probably the 6th Cavalry Group was located at Christmas period in the village of Sainte-Marie-Chevigny.) and his family (last) name. My mother (72 year old today) always told us she was impressed and “in love” as a small child can be in front of a Captain who came in they village to save the people against de Germans. The Captain Roland gave her a small picture of him (here-attached). It is late, very late... but I decided to find back this Captain or his family in order to exchange history and gratitude more than 66 year after… I did find your name on the web, could you please give me some idea to find the person my mother is looking for? I want to enter in contact with Roland and/or his family and exchange souvenirs and history from the winter 1944 in the Ardennes in Belgium. Maybe the list of Officer part of the 6th Cavalry Group in December 44? In advance, many thanks for your help. Best regards Bernard Dubois Dear All,
