The Regimental Guidon. The Heart of the 240th Cavalry.
In the cavalry, the regimental guidon is the standard that unites every troop under one identity. This premium 15oz white ceramic mug features the 240th Cavalry Regiment guidon — the symbol that represented the entire Kentucky Mounted Rifles regiment from its constitution in 1980 to its disbandment in 1985. For those who served under it, this mug is an instant connection to that shared identity.
Regiment-Wide Pride. One Powerful Symbol.
While individual troops carry their own guidons, the regimental guidon belongs to every soldier who ever wore the 240th Cavalry patch. This mug honors that collective pride — the troopers of Owensboro, the Kentucky Guardsmen of the 149th Armored Brigade, and every soldier who answered the call during the Cold War era under the colors of the Kentucky Mounted Rifles.
