The two cavalry riders and the Vietnam service ribbon on this premium 15oz white ceramic mug honor the soldiers of the 1st Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment who served in Vietnam — carrying one of the oldest cavalry lineages in the United States Army into one of its most demanding modern conflicts. For the veteran who rode with 1/1 Cav in Vietnam, this is the tribute that captures both the deep cavalry heritage and the Vietnam service in a single, powerful design.
From the Regiment of Dragoons to Vietnam. A Lineage Unlike Any Other.
The 1st Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment carries the lineage of Company A, United States Regiment of Dragoons — one of the oldest cavalry lineages in the Army. That lineage runs through the Mexican-American War, the Civil War, the Indian Wars, the Spanish–American War, the Philippine Insurrection, World War II, Vietnam, and the Global War on Terrorism. In Vietnam, the 1st Squadron carried that heritage into the reconnaissance and security mission that has defined cavalry since the horse soldier era — screening, finding the enemy, and keeping the force informed in some of the war's most demanding terrain. Currently assigned as the BCT cavalry squadron of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division, the squadron continues a tradition of service that stretches back to the earliest days of the American cavalry.
