~ WELCOME ~
To Cav' Country

On behalf of the troopers of the 3rd/5th Armored Cavalry 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 to us, their waiting brothers, with so many years since last we've seen, talked, lived and survived together; with and so many benefits from being together again.  The surprise that they bring to reunions is one not soon forgotten. Visit our Photo Galleries to find many pictures and memories of us as "Brothers With Arms". Everyone is welcome to share their photos and memories too! The Black Knights work continuously to provide our membership and all fellow Vietnam Veterans with information p
The purpose of the Black Knights Association is to continue the time honored tradition of the 5th U.S. Cavalry. To honor its fallen troopers and help the living; while maintaining its long and proud history
of "LEST WE FORGET".

Our association was born with and continues to be guided by one very simple concept that was 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!
