  • To snakeman mike. The Indians resisted with their blood for the Land, as was their right and duty. Those troopers also bought some claim on the Land with their brave deaths and blood. In heaven now, all who died at LBH are honored brothers and it is sacred ground on earth below. If you are Indian or have blood of Indian, you will understand all this. You were assigned where you were supposed to be.

  • GARRYOWEN!! BLACKHAWK LEADS THE WAY!!

  • how come it sings a irish drinkin song? did many irish serve in the 7th?

  • @MegaMushface In fact during the postwar area most of the regiment was formed from Irish Immigrants although a number of ex confederates also served int he regiment. The irony is the song comes from Brian Boru the Irish patriot, who was sung about when many Irishmen were drinking heavily, a different twist. Irish Immigrants were not well treated in the late 19th Century pretty much as Hispanic and other ethnic immigrants are looked down upon today.

  • @MegaMushface Yes,with Custer.Garryowen is another name for County Limerick,Ireland.My mother is from there.

  • Armstrong Custer was a fine man.

  • To Garry Owen in Glory!!

  • lol im with these guys in arma 2

  • My ancestors kicked their ancestors' asses at Little Big Horn.

    LOL

  • I was assigned to duty in 1963.As a MOS 133 Armored Intel Spec..with the 3rd Sqdn,7th Armored Cav. .. we were "Border Patrol' On "THE IRON CURTAIN"..In Gemany..

    I was a crew member on a M114 Armored Scout Recon Vehicle (I was 17 and that thing had a Chevy V8 in it..was fun..but the vehicle was dishonorably dischared from military service about 1970 by Gen Westmoreland)

    This is the first time I ever have seen the lyrics to GARRY OWEN..Thanks !, ... (The Rabbit.."who actually managed to .."FTA")

  • no horses jk

  • Its nice to see the US has a few decent marches...

  • Comment removed

  • godbless : )

  • When a soldier and Officer exchange salutes they exclaim "Garry Owen Sir"!!

  • @liamthedream our "out front, sir" as we did in the 4th regiment.

  • 1 of the few good marching songs the United States has.

  • Therigger45, you can be proud, for sure, but Major Reno and Captain Benteen were not together when they were engaged.

  • I love it at :52 as Saint Patrick's Day kicks in!

  • Garry Owen

  • My Mother's Cousin's, Grandfather's Brother was killed on the 26th. He was with Reno and Benteen five miles to the South along the ridge. Been whistling that tune since I can remember.

  • When the 1st Cavalry stood down in Vietnam '72 and went home, those of us who were deemed mission essential stayed in country and were assigned to a newly formed task force named, "Gary Owen". I knew the history of that name from the Errol Flynn movie, "They Died With Their Boots On". They played the 7th's Regimental March after Reveille every morning. It was a great way to start the day before remembering where you were.......

  • Garry Owen!

    

  • GarryOwen!!!! 

  • All my relations.Ya named after Crazy Horse and family was Seventh and 101 Airborn .But true warrior.Northern Tradtional Dancer hell ya ....Ya know

  • To: snakemanmike

    Whhoooo-ahhh. When it comes down to it we are all brothers of this land now. Someone once said that the WORST fights they ever saw were between brothers. Never again now they we fight together.

  • The 7th Cavalry as well as the 9th&10th Cavalry-'Buffalo Soldiers'-are part of the Blackhorse.

  • The audio recording is primarily "Garryowen", but about 2/3 way through it includes "St. Patrick's Day". Interesting.

  • @USAPiper Both tunes are also used by the Irish Guards unit of the British Army, in fact "St Patrick's Day in the Morning" was one of the tunes played by the Pipers of the Irish Brigade fighting in the French Army against the British at the Battle of Fontenoy (May 11th 1745) - so an old history of martial use for both of these Irish tunes. Brevet Lt Col Myles Keogh who died at LittleBigHorn lived close to where I live. His descendants recently donated Myles' remaining memorabilia to a US museum

  • I've forgotten how many times I heard this song in parade at Downs Barracks in Fulda with the 'Black Horse" 11th ACR. This may be the "official" song of the 7th, but I'll bet that any trooper knows it by heart, be they 2nd Cav, 3rd Cav, 7th Cav or 11th Cav.

    Black Horse!

  • It's awesome to find this by chance on Father's Day! My dad was a WWII veteran who was with the 7th in the South Pacific. I grew up watching movies about the marines, never realizing what a vital part the 7th Cav. played, (including the liberation of the Philipines and the initial occupation of Tokyo). God Bless all of you who carry on the tradition, quietly and effectively getting the job done. Thank you to all past, present and future "troopers"!

  • These the same regiment who got fucked up at Little Bighorn?

  • @mwillis1000 They were siouxed.

  • Be cool!

  • Really wonderful march originally drunk,s song I think today sign of a exceptionally unit Ia Drang Victory

  • HUAA!!!

  • GarryOwen

  • I worked for at that time, The Custer Battlefield National Monument. I worked at Fort Lincoln, ND as a living historian. I belong to the Little Bighorn Associates, The Custer Battlefield Historical Museum Association, the Bighorn County Museum, and the order of Indian Wars. I have 500 books in my personal library on the subject, that I HAVE READ, and I have written books and magazine articles. That is why I know that you have read nothing on the subject, or you wouldn't appear so ignorant.

  • Brit? Both my parent are irish.custer wasnt as good as u think.do ur research mate !

  • You know nothing of Custer or the 7th Cavalry or you couldn't possibly write such an ignorant uneducated and insulting post as you did... mate!

  • Served in royal irish rangers mate, 24714740 that was my number..check it out.1st battalion.

  • Some of the most ignorant posts, by liberal unread idiots like Harkenish, who never served a day in the military. "Read it up" yourself you moron.

  • The 7th Made North Dakota.

  • Custer was a coward who use women and children as a human shield to escape the slaughter of washitta, read it up, theres your hero for you.......nothing but a vile piece of shit ! I hope hes i hell right now byrning and screaming.horrible tyrant.

  • @Harkenish another stupid brit who never served not even in the IRA

  • @Harkenish What an absolute moron you are. 

  • Custer sucks!Long live Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse!

  • My Great Uncle was George Armstrong Custer, and when my Uncle Bob was in the Army he was in the 7th Cavalry. I'll always have a special place for Gary Owen!

  • My great great grandfather was at the battle of the Little Big Horn. He was with Crazy Horse. The irony was not lost on me in 1971 when the army assigned me to... you guessed it... the 7th Cav.

  • @snakemanmike

    That is really Irony of history! At least you can say you are a warrior like your great great grandfather. But I have to admit it is really strange.

  • @snakemanmike That's cool!

  • @snakemanmike Maybe they have an army bureaucrat whose job is to find the descendants of ancient warheros, and assign them to the proper regiment, with the purpose of upholding family traditions. xD

  • @snakemanmike

    That is very cool indeed. Your 2X great grandfather would be very proud! Thank you for your service--USAF (Ret)

  • @snakemanmike : Miraculous!!

  • @snakemanmike that irony is great

  • @snakemanmike nice! Thank you and welcome home!

  • @snakemanmike Thanks for serving! I'm an aging Vietnam jarhead. Good luck!

  • @snakemanmike your people sucks! USA belongs to WASPs

  • custer was a great civil war cavalryman. he just sucked at frontier duty as he was not diplomatic enough and far too aggressive with the resources he had.

  • gaaaaaaaaaryownen!

  • is there some where i can get this marsch song on mp3 or on a record?

  • Comment removed

  • General George Armstrong Custer was a lifelong Democrat. Geee, they sure don't make 'em like they used to...

  • Im playing that for my school Band (=

  • Custer a coward !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • In 'The Last Samurai', Nathan Algren (Tom Cruise) is a captain of the 7th US cavalry. That's where I recognised the tune from

  • Ummm..why showing pics of 1st Cavalry Divison?

  • @GeekBoy03 Because the 7th Cav is a regiment assigned to the 1st Cav. Officially, it's 7th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division.

  • @ChampionOfTheForce Strange as the 2d and 11th Cavalry Regiments were never assigned to other units and have their own patches.

  • @ChampionOfTheForce No, 7th Cav is all over the US Army. Regiments ceased to exist as maneuver units with the rise of the Brigade Combat Team system, with the exception of parachute regiments and 2nd and 3rd Cavalry Regiment.

    There's 7th Cav in 2 ID, 1st Cav, 3 ID, etc...

  • @RLtW88 Right, but the majority of 7th Cav Troopers (i.e.the 1st Squadron, and more importantly 2nd BN) are assigned to the 1st Cavalry Division.

  • Hooah !! 7th cav and 9th Cav Buffalo Soldiers. God Bless !!!!

  • December 7, 2010: Remember Pearl Harbor!

  • The 7th Cavalry was entrapped the day after the Wounded Knee Massacre. The 9th Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers rescued the 7th Cavalry.

    Read the novel, Rescue at Pine ridge, the story of the rescue of the famed 7th Cavalry by the Buffalo Soldiers, and visit website; rescue at pine ridge. com. The novel embodies Native Americans, Outlaws and Buffalo Soldiers, in the days of the Native American Wars with the approach USA. Story is about, brutality, compassion, reprisal, bravery, heroism and gallantry.

  • The 7th was wiped out in 1776,,, burn in hell Custer!

  • that song is a disgrace as well

  • @martintoque

    *1876

  • @katey1dog , that's right,, my bad

  • God bless you all, General Custer would be proud, Keep it up. God Bless the 7th

  • @mrjamiehorn custer would be proud to copulate with a goat

  • Urrr-aaaaaaa-hhhhhhhh!!

  • @LEOPARDTWO thats marines not army.

  • this is 1st Cavalry, not the 7th...

    look at the patch...

  • @romanianHUMINT-- The 7th Reg (Garry Owen) has a unit under the 1st Cavalry Division, smart guy.

  • @jocorbian So I see...

  • Did anyone else in Korea have the 1st Cav patch embroidered with the horse's ass instead of the head, or was it just me? No offense meant then, or now, it just tickled my funnybone.

  • Custer would be proud, Thank You, 7th Cav.

  • Comment removed

  • What fine, brave and courageous women and men!!! They make me proud to be an American! Now if we can only remove the disgraceful stain of Custer!

  • very very good!

  • EXCELLENT! The members of the 7th look EXCELLENT! SEMPER FI! Yes I know they are not part of the US MARINE CORPS but they meet the same High Ideals and Honor of the Marines!

  • @rangeclerk there was a lot of us nonmarines that lived up to those same ideals. duty first!

  • @redneckgregg THANK YOU & check you site---A Salute! [My dad was US ARMY--WW2 and caught in an explosion State Side while serving during WW2---passed away Feb 1960---later when I was older US NAVY and later worked for the Orange County Sheriff's Department--Reserve Dep and Range Clerk 3,000+ dep and other agencies---ret in Oct 2004.

  • @machado231097 He saved Gettysburg in the Union Rear during Pickett's Charge---Leading the Michigan Brigade they defeated Jeb Stuart 5,000 vs Michigan Brigade of 500. By trying to diminish Gen. Custer you are taking way the GLORY the Plains Indians deserve for taking out the Top US CAV unit of the American Army of 1876.

  • i was in Iraq with the first cav l i was nat guard but we were awareded we could were the patch. i love those guys and gals ..... i was at camp rusty 04 to 06 in baghdad if any one was there at that time send a message. it used to be fob cuvareo and before that mule skinner!!!!

  • @POTSY6990 My husband was stationed at BIAP and escorted the mail trucks to all points in Iraq with the exception of Mosul, he has mentioned going to Mule Skinner numerous times and said that when they would pass Sadr city he would get a pucker effect waiting on an IED to go off . But he said that he favorite destination was Babylon because of the big open air market or the ( Haji market as they sometimes called it...

  • General Custer would be proud, as I am.

  • I served proudly with the 7th Cav. in South Korea at Camp Garry Owen 1974/1975. Very fond memories. GARRY OWEN!

  • @yeshuahfullofit Remember Camp Garry Owen well. I was at Hovey with 1-38 Inf in 1973. Still have a photo of a Huey Cobra--with the yellow crossed sabers on the nose and the "shark's mouth"-- that supported us one day. " Four years later, I ended up as a "token grunt" assigned to 3-7th in Germany. Deja-vu, for sure.

  • @yeshuahfullofit Yeah me too! I was in HHT Commo PLT.

  • @stanmaxkolbe I was in Ctrp, recon 11D. Remember 'ol Gunfighter's ' fit to fight ' ? Korea.........land of sliding doors, heated floors, and slant-eyed whores.

  • @yeshuahfullofit And those damn cold showers after the four mile run every morning.

  • Did I just hear bits from the, "Saint Patrick's Day" march?

  • Yes you did, the St. Patrick's Day March consists of the chorus section of Garryowen.

  • @TashkentFox funny that its played on St Patricks day, its also played by the Orange Order and its also played in Scottish pipe and drum parades!
