Decorated in Combat. Proven in Vietnam.
The 4th Cavalry Regiment carries one of the longest and most distinguished lineages in the United States Army — a history that stretches from the Texas frontier in the mid-19th century through the jungles of Vietnam. In Southeast Asia, the regiment’s squadrons served with the kind of distinction that earns the Army’s highest unit-level honors: the Presidential Unit Citation (PUC) and the Valorous Unit Award (VUA). These are not participation ribbons. They are awarded for extraordinary heroism and valor in combat against an armed enemy — the standard that the 4th Cavalry met and exceeded in Vietnam.
This mug carries the 4th Cavalry Regiment’s Vietnam War service with both the PUC and VUA — a tribute to the troopers who earned those citations in the field. For the cavalryman, the veteran, and the family that never forgot.

About the Unit
The 4th Cavalry Regiment traces its lineage to the mid-19th century, serving as one of the most effective frontier cavalry units on the Texas frontier before going on to serve in every major American conflict. In Vietnam, the regiment’s squadrons earned both the Presidential Unit Citation — awarded for extraordinary heroism in action against an armed enemy — and the Valorous Unit Award, recognizing collective valor in combat. Today the regiment exists as separate squadrons: the 1st Squadron ("Quarterhorse") and 5th Squadron serve with the 1st Infantry Division, while the 3rd Squadron ("Raiders") serves with the 25th Infantry Division.
