Welcome to Marsmen.org
Welcome to the 124th Cavalry Association Website. This site is dedicated to the current and, especially, the past members of the 124th Cavalry Regiment. We have the distinction of being the last horse cavalry regiment in the United States Army and former members fought in the China-Burma-India Theater of Operations during World War II where they earned their moniker, Marsmen.
The newest chapter in our history is our recent completion of a year long deployment to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom II. Our troopers served with distinction and will wear their combat spurs with pride. Of course, it could not have been possible without the support of Family and Friends back home. They deserve a special recognition as well.
While the majority of the site content is available to the public, there is a significant amount of content that is only available to members. Please join the site, however, membership in the site does not make you a member of the association.
The Cav Store is now open. Purchase online using PayPal and get your items delivered to your door, or choose to pick up your items at the Armory.

Staff Sergeant Shawn A. Graham Veterans Memorial Bridge to be dedicated
Received this bit of news from new site member David Molloy:
Quote:
The Staff Sergeant Shawn A. Graham Veterans Memorial Bridge will be dedicated on November 10 at 10:00 am. Several speakers, a ribbon cutting, and an appearance by the Patriot Guard Riders will highlight the ceremony.
The bridge was renamed by Mercer County Commissioners in April to honor Graham, a 1989 graduate of Grove City Area High School. Graham left the area to join the Marines and was killed in Iraq while serving with the Army National Guard's 124th Cavalry Regiment, 36th Infantry Division.
The ceremony is open to the public.
Speakers include State Representative Dick Stevenson, Mayor Randy Riddle, Borough Council President George Pokrant, Councilman Rich Talbert, members of the Graham family, and military personnel who served with Graham.
The Patriot Guard Riders is a national group that attends memorial functions to show respect to fallen service persons, their families, and their communities.
The Staff Sergeant Shawn A. Graham Veterans Memorial Bridge will open for traffic in mid-November.
Thanks for the info!
Note: This would be Grove City, PA.

Cavalry Reunion
An unofficial reunion will be held at VFW Post 6008 in Hewitt, TX. It is scheduled to be held on 10 November and is not considered a formal gathering, so boots, jeans, and stetsons will probably be the common attire. This is also not an Association event, just a gathering of everyone and anyone who was with the Regiment in Iraq and/or Afghanistan to share some drinks and reminisce about the old days and tell war stories. This will also be an opportunity to talk to veterans who have successfully cut through all the red tape with the VA for benefits and disability. If you haven't already taken advantage of this, please consider coming.
Update: Start time will be 1700. Address is 725 Sun Valley Road in Hewitt, TX.
Update #2: Note that this gathering is for Iraq and Afghanistan veterans. An official Association Cav Ball is in the works.
