Thank you for sharing this video and history as well as thank your family for helping save the world from evil...my great grandfather was a war horse soldier in WWI...

My uncle served in that regiment. At least I think I have my facts straight. I sure remember him talking about the Philippines and Japan. I will double-check to make sure we are talking about same regiment and will try to contact him to look at your tribute. It is beautiful by the way. I can't wait to talk to him about your tribute. Very nicely done!

@danrace62 Hi Dan, I was able to talk to my uncle and he was in the First Cavalry 12th Regiment. He did not know John though or could not recall having met him. It sounds like the regiment was spread around, but my uncles stories about where he has been and what he has seen will stay with me.

Unfortunately, my uncle just past away Thursday night. I'm empathizing with your loss more now. My uncle was loved by many and will be missed by us all.
