An. American. Soldier: Garryowen I still have a really good question I’m gonna answer for SGT (soon to be 2. LT) Lee…but since this is an area that is of particular interest to me, I’m gonna hook Highwind. NY up first. You’ll see in a minute why I like this question so much. U. S Army is the "Gary Owen" motivation cry.

Air Calvary?”The 7th Cavalry has a long proud tradition, but is most famous for two episodes in American history. First, it was the 7th Cavalry that rode out from Powder River under the command of LTC George Armstrong Custer in 1. Little Big Horn at the hands of the Oglala Sioux, led by Crazy Horse and Gall, along with contingents from five other tribes. For those of you who have absolutely NO grasp of history at all, the result of General Custer’s overconfidence was the complete slaughter of a large part of the regiment.

One hundred and Ninety Seven soldiers died in about twenty minutes. The only known survivor was a horse named Comanche. I won’t get into the politics of it all except to say that both sides did what they had to do and both sides fought like true warriors. The second well known action by the 7th Cavalry took place in the Ia Drang.

Valley of South Vietnam in 1. I won’t elaborate too much, since most of you have (hopefully) seen the movie We Were Soldiers, starring Mel Gibson, or read the book it was based on, We Were Soldiers Once… and Young by Joe Galloway and LTC Hal Moore. If you haven’t…the 7th Cavalry had become the 7th Air Cav by this time (pioneers of the Airmobile/Air Assault techniques still used today), and fought the first MAJOR battle of the Vietnam war. Now on to Gary Owen…Gary Owen is actually Garryowen…all one word… and it is the Regimental marching song of the famous 7th Cavalry. Who is he? Well…it’s actually not a he…or even a person. Garryowen (all one word) comes from 2 different gaelic words (Garrai and Oein) that translate roughly to Owen’s garden.

Garryowen is a town in County Limerick, Ireland. Thanks to a reputation as a rowdy, wild place it was immortalized in an Irish quickstep in around 1. As the story goes, one of the Irish troopers in Custer’s command was singing the song while having a wee bit o’ spirits one night around the fire. The song is a natural for the cavalry as the beat translates well to the rhythm of galloping horses. LTC Custer heard the song and liked it so much it soon became a favorite of the Regiment. It was the last tune played by the Regimental band as they rode out towards Little Big Horn.

The tune became the official “Air” of the Regiment in 1. Cavalry Division in 1. The significance of the tune in the Regiment’s history led to it being incorporated into the Regimental crest, along with the raised saber. Watch Savannah Sunrise Online Full Movie. When Soldiers salute an officer, they also traditionally give the “greeting of the day” or the regimental motto. So when any soldier, anywhere, in the 7th Cav salutes, they sound off with “Garry Owen, Sir!” This will also occasionally be used the same way that “Hooah” is used throughout the Army or “OOORAH” is used in the Marine Corps. A good example of the emotion this can contain is a scene in We Were Soldiers where a young trooper is finally reunited with the unit after being cut off for the entire night. I can’t explain the emotion, you have to watch the movie I guess to know what I mean.

Anyway, it’s enough to say that the members of the 7th Cavalry take a lot of pride in this part of their history. The reason I am so interested in the 7th Cavalry (never having served with them) is this.. Watch Tell No One Streaming here.

My father in law served with 1/7th Cavalry in Vietnam. He arrived around 6 months to a year after the engagement at LZ Xray, and served with them until he was wounded and sent to the hospital in Pleiku. He was a 1. LT, a Forward Observer, and a great soldier.

Incidentally he also commanded a Basic Training Company here at Ft Jackson for awhile as a Lieutenant.). When I met my wife, and went to meet her family eventually, I was a little nervous. We hit it off immediately, and I realized that I was lucky indeed, not only to have found a great woman, but a great set of “in- laws” also.

I think both of us being soldiers and talking about his experiences in Vietnam and my experience in the modern Infantry went a long way to set us both at ease lol. My Father in law, 1. LT George W…If you look closely, you can see a Regimental crest, featuring the words “Garry Owen” pinned on his fatigues. If I remember correctly this was taken only a few days before he was shot and wounded.

If you’re interested, here are both sets of lyrics to the song Garry Owen. The first is the original lyrics, and the second is the lyrics adopted later by the 7th Cavalry. Original Version. Let Bacchus' sons be not dismayed. But join with me, each jovial blade. Come, drink and sing and lend your aid.
