More than 65 members of the 2nd Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment Association (2-1 Cavalry Association) gathered to honor and remember their fallen comrades during a ceremony May 29, 2026, at Memorial Chapel at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, as part of the association’s 2026 reunion.
The ceremony paid tribute to Black Hawk troopers who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to the nation, as well as those who have recently passed away. As each name was read aloud, association members placed a flower on a wreath to remember, pay their respects, and ensure none are ever forgotten.
Following the event, association members were given a tour of the installation and visited the Frontier Army Museum, where Buffalo Soldier reenactor George Pettigrew spoke about the history of the Buffalo Soldier regiments and their lasting legacy to the Army.
