On behalf of the troopers of the 3rd/5th Cavalry Vietnam Black Knights Association,  welcome to our web-site. We hope you will enjoy your visit, stay as long as you wish and please come back often! Please sign our Guestbook to let us know you were here, or leave messages to other veterans.

The main function of this web-site is to be a beacon in cyberspace, finding our "Missing In America" Brothers in Arms, and bring them home with so many years passed since last we've seen, talked, lived and survived together; with so many benefits from being
Together again! 

The surprise of reuniting with our comrades attending their first reunion, whom we honorably designate as "F. N. G.s"  is not soon forgotten. Visit our Photo Galleries here to find lots of pictures and memories of us as combat hardened "Brothers With Arms" 35+ years ago. C'mon dig out the pics and share your  photos with us! You can snailmail or email them in,  we'll give them the best of care and return them asap.

The purpose of the Black Knights Association is to continue the time honored tradition of the 5th U.S. Cavalry. To honor its and our fallen troopers and help the living; while maintaining the long and proud history of "LEST WE FORGET".

Our association was born with and continues to be guided by one very simple concept felt by all the Black Knight Troopers who attended the very first reunion in Fredericksburg Virginia June, 1987: "We Looked out for each other during combat duty in the jungles of Vietnam, and see no reason to stop just because we are back, safe in "The World"! BLACK KNIGHTS!
