The memorial to members of the 7/17th Air Cavalry in Vietnam that specifically honors our Medal of Honor winners will be rededicated during our Reunion 2008. Moved from the grounds of the Patton Museum at Ft Knox, it will be situated in a park outside of the 7/17th Air Cav (Palehorse) Squadron HQ at Ft Campbell, KY. The memorial and park will be maintained by the Palehorse Squadron now on active duty. At the same time the memorial is rededicated, a conference room in the center will be dedicated to the memory of Ray McKibben and Garfield Langhorn, both of whom earned the Medal of Honor in Vietnam. See more artist's drawings of the center and conference room here.

Ruthless Riders Scholarship Fund Congratulations and thanks to everyone who helped us reach our initial goal of $10,000! The scholarship administrators, AAAA, will match those funds and we will award our first scholarship in 2005.
But we aren't finished. We're growing the fund so we can increase our scholarships in the future. Please make your donation to this important project.
To qualify for our scholarship, applicants must be family of a deceased member of the 7/17th Air Cav, or a familymember of an active member of the Association. Students can also qualify for other Quad-A scholarships by being a member of that organization for two consecutive years.
Now you can donate to the Scholarship Fund by sending a check to Kurt Jackson, 399 Green Creek Dr, Glasgow, KY 42141. Be sure to mark it "Scholarship" in the comments section.
To be a part of the committee or for more information, please contact Barry at

thank you!
7/17th Air Cavalry Association 
What a fantastic time! Lots of camaraderie, photo sharing, stories, and laughter. We raised a lot of money for the Scholarship and Trooper funds, broke bread together, and reconnected. The reunion in 2008 will be in Nashville, TN.
We have now awarded our third $1,000 scholarship, and our remaining balance is about $23,000.
