Cavalry Spur Ride: But Where are the Horses?

by | Jun 23, 2022

This is a story of spurs, strength and the spirit only spouses can bring to the fight.
The early dawn hours of an August morning in north country New York were cool and humid. Bags were loaded and laces tightened. The packing list was complete, and all that was left was the sunscreen. 

Gathered in the pavilion near the lake, 77 spouses of modern-day cavalry troopers stood quietly in the sun waiting for their spur ride  instructions. Lynda borrowed a helmet from a female trooper, as her soldier’s was too big for her. An actual spur ride!

The Tale of The Traveling TASH

For those of you who might not be familiar with the Association of the United States Army (AUSA), it is a private, non-profit organization that serves as an advocacy group for the Army. It began in 1950 and has chapters worldwide. Soldiers and families, as well as community partners, and beyond, can be members. AUSA holds annual meetings in DC, and this year we were lucky to have one of our AWN protocol bloggers, Ginger Perkins, invited to speak. She graciously shared the following executive summary (EXSUM)!

Army Spouse Grog Ceremony

Army Spouse Grog Ceremony

by | Nov 25, 2021

Army spouses are a special breed. We have endured since the beginning of our Army and served our nation, the military, and families well. Today, many units and Army balls celebrate with the tradition of a grog ceremony as they herald their history. We thought it appropriate to create a “punch bowl/grog ceremony” to celebrate the course of our spouse history.
