“The ”Dragoon Ride,” a 13-day long convoy that stretched across Eastern Europe, was comprised of more than 600 soldiers and 120 military vehicles. The convoy official ended at Rose Barracks in Vilseck, Germany on April 1, 2015, with a parade through the base.” Stars and Stripes Europe.
Earlier this year, with heightened tensions between Europe and Russia, the 3rd Squadron of the 2d Cavalry Regiment demonstrated the U.S. Army’s mobility and presence in Europe by making an historic 1170 mile journey from Northern Estonia to Vilseck Army Airfield.
In recognition of this historic road march your 2d Cavalry Association in cooperation with the Wolfpack leadership recognized this great achievement by striking a unique limited edition memorial medallion that memorializes “The Dragoon Ride”. This medallion (shown above) was presented to approximately 600 “Dragoon Ride”participants as our unique way of recognizing their contribution. I assure you they will each appreciate this unique coin and their achievement more as the years pass.
Gentlemen, we need your help and want you to be involved in this event. Your Association spent approximately $4,000 to design and strike this coin. I am pleased to offer each of you the opportunity to own these rare medallions for a small fee. You payment will help us defray the cost of the project.
This is your chance to participate and to share in this historic moment with our fellow Dragoons. Specifically, please buy at least one medallion and/or make a donation. The things we do are not done without costs and the money we spend comes from you. Yes, all of you need to be part of this. The more of us who give a little, the greater our power to help Dragoons in need.
PLEASE read this with interest and pride. I assure you no other U.S. Army veterans association does more for our veterans, our troops and their families. Reality is that all of our efforts on your behalf take money. It ain’t free!
100% of the proceeds from the sale of the medallions will be used to offset our cost and the mailing cost for your purchases. If we exceed our costs it will benefit all Dragoons.
You may purchase up to 5 of these beautiful limited edition medallions for $25 each. I am limiting the number you can buy because we have a limited number to sell and I want as many of you as possible to be a be able to participate in this project.
My fellow Dragoons, we need your participation !
Don’t let me down!
Please participate in this worthy cause.
