Been lookin for you brothers of mine since I've been back
to the world, Feb 69. I finally found you this past year, and am joining the unit once more. My wife (Susan)
and I will be at Colorado Springs for the reunion this June. I guess I can say I'm a little nervous since I have not run into any of the Black Knights since returning home, but I'm so lookin foward to seeing all of you.

Your Brother in Arms

Marvin Davis. I haven't been on the guest book for a while as you can see. I just saw your post of 12/28/12 about Lt. Gallo. I rode with C-Trp in 67-68. I was on the track with Lt. Fowler and Jim Heinz. We brought Leo Wolters and a TC from the tank next to us when we were hit from a command detonated mine that day. I think the tankers name might have been Randolph. Never heard what happened to either of them. Remember that guy that tried to get that chicken ARVN and his men up and onto the line? That was me. He kept saying "Me Major-Me Major. Then I realized they were supposedly there to provide a guard for your medic track and he really was a Major. Oops!!! Guess I should have found that out, maybe I wouldn't have kicked him in the * * * and told him to get out there. Tom

We travel south by Motor Coach, from Colorado Springs past Fort Carson and NORAD. Turning west, we pass through scenic Red Rock Canyon, and on to Canon City, where we board the Royal Gorge Route Railroad, which follows the most famous portion of the Old Denver & Rio Grande Western train line. This train follows the rails on a 24 mile roundtrip through the spectacular Royal Gorge. You will see the famous Hanging Bridge the, which clings precariously to the steep granite walls of the Royal Gorge, towering over 1,000 feet above. The Canyon was eroded over the millennia to a depth of 1,055 feet by the turbulent waters of the Arkansas River. The Royal Gorge is spanned by the highest suspension bridge in the world. This two hour train ride combines breathtaking scenery, wildlife, history and world class service and will create memories to last a lifetime.
TOUR LENGTH: 6 HOURS -20 Person Minimum
B Troop has 20 If you are interested please contact Dave Grant or Rusty Bauer

Thank you all for your service, and the sacrifices made by those no longer with us. I would like to ask a favor of any members of the Black Knights who served in late '69-early '70. I would love any info anyone can give me about Kenneth Cotter, A Troop. KIA, April 6, 1970 in Quang Tri. He was my uncle. Thank you in advance, and again, thank you all.

I was with A. Troop 2nd platoon from Nov. 68 to Nov. 69. I'm hoping to find some brothers who served with me. I remember some names like Phillip Brown and Platoon Sergeant Calvin L. Becker. I am hoping to hear from you welcome home.

Greetings Brothers;

I am a member of the 5th US Cavalry Association and am very interested in learning about the 3/5 Cav Regimental Association.

Although the 1st & 2nd Bns were, and still are, elements of the 1st Cavalry Division, we're still brothers and members of the Black Knights.

I look forward to getting to know all of you and invite you to check us out at our web site 5thcav.org.

I'm checking out the possibility of attending your reunion in Colorado Springs. Have to check the dates before I can commit.
