The 50 members and guests who made the trip to Fort Irwin received VIP treatment and left with a deep sense of gratitude for how well our troops are trained today.

| 2006 |
The reunion in the Fort Lewis – Tacoma WA area went very well and a good time was had by all. Unfortunately, we also had to say goodbye to two of our squadrons; members attended the 1st Squadron's farewell ceremony as they prepare to redeploy to Iraq and the reflagging ceremony of the 2nd Squadron as it became a squadron of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment. If you have photos, please send them here. | 2006 Pics |
| 2005 |
The reunion in Germany during the first days of June evoked powerful memories and was greatly enjoyed by all 14th ACR veterans who attended. Attendees included two troopers (Ralph Houlihan and Dick Smith) who were members of the Regiment when it was activated in 1948, and one, John Miller, who was the CSM when the Regiment was reflagged in 1972. Another 1972 trooper present was General B.B. Bell presently CG, USAREUR. Other active duty troopers present were CSM Brian Shover and SSG Mathew Conover of the 1st Squadron and COL Dana Pittard who commanded that squadron when it was activated in 2000. More photographs are available at the Eaglehorse.org website. | 2005 Pics |
