2024 is now a memory and with our reunion more good memories, below is a note from Don Cascini our host for Asheville 2024. Thanks for the great job Don.
It was great to see all our reunion troop members and families at the Asheville Reunion. It was a relaxing, few days for all to get together and go over times of the past.
Asheville is a mecca for tourists and so many things to experience. There was a shuttle available at the hotel entrance which provided attendees the opportunity to visit the Biltmore Estate, the Arts District, Biltmore Village and many other areas of interest.
Rich Stefani was so gracious to bring his Sprint car with a list of all our brothers who had fallen, as well as fallen veterans from his hometown.
We especially want to thank, Colonel (ret) U.S. Army, Albion Bergstrom for an informative, professional presentation. There were pictures from the time we all served in Vietnam and Al gave us an understanding of global current events.
Who We Were
We came from the north, the south, the east, the west, from the big cities, the small country towns, large families, only child families, as high school drop outs and as college graduates, as fathers, sons, husbands or brothers. We were unemployed, laborers, students, clerks, tradesmen, professionals and soldiers. We were law-abiding citizens or we may have been given the choice of the service or jail. We were a slice of the Baby Boomer generation, Career Soldiers (Lifers), Draftees (US), or Volunteers (RA’s).
We went because we were ordered to go, or we wanted to become US citizens, or wanted adventure or because we believed in fighting for democracy. Some might have needed to get out of present situations at home or had nothing better to do at the time. A lot of us celebrated our coming of age in Nam. We also encountered a lot of “FOR THE FIRST TIME” life experiences there. By the end of our tour with A Troop 4/12 Cav we came to have one thing in common…
THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE CAV.

A note regarding the website
This website is a newer project that was started in late 2020 with the goal of harvesting as much of the old content as reasonably possible to preserve the stories of the brotherhood.
We are grateful for the work of so many people who have to tell our stories. The original site was started sometime in 2003. The old site had grown to over 140 pages and hundreds of photos.
Unfortunately, the old website’s structure and coding is not current and are too old to re-work. This new site is designed to be user-friendly and allow users to search for content within the site.
A big thank you to Charles Cooper, George Gersaba “Pineapple” and Cheryal Taylor for carrying the torch for so many years.
