1st Cav division.in ww2 the horse faces forward,in Korea it was changed as they retreated.
Angel,
Never, ever, believe anyone that is not a Cavalryman. The truth is that on my left shoulder is worn my Duty Patch of Service and when worn there my horse is looking to the future. On my right shoulder is a tat of that horse looking to the rear... the past. When my Cav Patch is sewed onto my uniform on the right shoulder, it looks back at what we've done.and where we have been.
FOOTNOTE: My Transcript, through the Eighth Grade is a matter of shame and when I had that Tat put on my shoulder I did not know the difference between Calvary and Cavalry, they both have the same letters and number of letters. Above that horse is exactly what I gave to the Artist because he, also, did not know and until I receive my Glorified Body it will read, "1st Air Calvary."
Now, whatever you do do not pay attention to whipper-snappers like Jason, every one of them are still learning to be REAL Soldiers.
And though I do not know the current status, the entire Army suffered the shame my Uncle Chester felt to his dying day. He was in the Cavalry when we were overrun in Korea and lost our Battle Flag. And as a result, every soldier tucked his tie into his shirt when dressed in Tropical Worsted or Khaki Uniform because not only did the Cavalry stand being overrun and the loss of our Battle Flag, the rest of the Army did not reinforce us.
Now you know the rest of the story... the shame Jason must live with!
