Unit Bravo Co, 2/5 When and where did you serve with the 1st CAV? 1970-71 III corp City, State or Country that you live in now? Walden, Tn Comments: The pain that we all feel as members of the "CAV" family needs no explanation. And anything that I could say about the shooter would fall somewhere between politically incorrect, and extremely vulgar. Soldiers die, we know that, we have each seen someone close to us depart under tragic circumstances, but not like this. The First Cavalry is a family. Having been an organizer of reunions of my old company has pointed that up to me clearly. Men who were out of touch for nearly 40 years have come together as if they were never apart. It's this same love and respect for one another that will carry us through this outrageous act. To those of you who are having to cope with this on a personal level, please be sure that us old "Skytroopers" have your back, and you are in our hearts and our prayers.
