Vilseck, Germany – More than 100 Dragoons from the 2nd
Stryker Cavalry Regiment gathered at the Vilseck Theater Monday
Sept 28 to hear some thought provoking words from a very
courageous and equally awe-inspiring Soldier, Lt. Col. Greg
Gadson.
In May of 2007 Lt. Col Gadson was
the Battalion Commander of the 2nd Battalion 32nd
Field Artillery, Baghdad to conduct security force operations.
Gadson’s vehicle was struck by a roadside improvised explosive
device, while returning from a memorial service for two fallen
Soldiers from another unit. Gadson was blown from the vehicle,

The 2d
Armored Cavalry Regiment has the distinction of being the
“Longest Active Serving Cavalry Regiment in the United
States Army.” The 2d Regiment of Dragoons was constituted on
May 23, 1836 to fight in the Florida Seminole Indian
Campaigns. The Dragoon – a mounted infantryman – was deemed
the most capable to defeat the agile and elusive Seminole.
From these campaigns the Regiment earned their first Battle
Streamer. Afterwards in 1842, the Regiment was relocated to
Fort Jessup, Louisiana and Fort Towson, Indian Territory, to
guard the western frontier of our expanding nation.
In 1846, the War with Mexico began over control of Texas. At the Battle
of Resaca de la Palma, General Taylor ordered Captain Charles May to
attack a Mexican defensive positioned, reinforced with a battery of
artillery. Captain May led his squadron of D & E companies against the
strongly held Mexican position and with speed and shock effect
penetrated the Mexican lines allowing for the defeat of the Mexican
defenses. Captain May’s order of the day would become the Regiment’s
motto “Remember your Regiment and follow your Officers!” During this war
the Regiment earned 14 additional Battle Streamers for their actions in
combat.
