Pork chops, roast turkey, roast pork, oyster soup and oyster dressing, oranges, bananas, beer, and cigars. And, let me not forget my favorite, cocoanut layer cake—what a menu! In Iowa, in 1908!
Who among us can’t recall a Christmas away from family fulfilling the obligations of freedom. Personally, I remember a Christmas meal at Hof and many holidays at Ray’s Diner, which were always impressive in quality, quantity, and atmosphere.
I am grateful for those such as Dorsey, Megillian, and Holtz who have done so much to preserve our history so that we can reflect on what has come before us. Perhaps in a quiet moment this holiday season you’ll Remember Your Regiment and what that meant to you at Christmas. I hope that some of you will choose to share your stories with me.
On behalf of our Chair, Bryan Denny, and our Board, I want to wish each of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thank you for all that you have sacrificed and contributed for freedom and to advance the very ideal of America.
Dragoon For Life!
