BLACKHORSE ASSOCIATION INC
ELIZABETHTOWN, Kentucky
Honor the service of all cavalry troopers of the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment from 1901 through the present by encouraging and maintaining cavalry traditions, knowledge and recognition of excellence of The Blackhorse Regiment.
The Blackhorse Association was born of a promise made by (then) Colonel George S. Patton (deceased) to a dying L Troop soldier on 2 March 1969 on a battlefield in Vietnam. The vow was to “not let people forget us” and “take care of our kids”. This became the inspiration to form the Blackhorse Association later that year at Fort Knox, Kentucky. Over the years, our members have donated more than $600,000 to help educate the children of Blackhorse Troopers killed in action or incapacitated by wounds; and now, any child of a member or former member of the Regiment.
