The 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment is a brotherhood which sets itself apart from the rest by way of professionalism, high standards of conduct, and above all: performing as a close-knit team in all facets of life. While many gaming communities end their days together when they log off of their favourite games, the 7th Cavalry continues this brotherhood into both late and rough nights.

Together we stand united by a banner of Yellow and Black, bleeding for one another when the time comes. Were our actual lives similar to the games we play, we would not need dedications such as this. Our real lives are much more hectic, chaotic, and trying than our toughest day in the Unit. Those tangible lives, unlike our digital ones, will always get the better of us in the end. The hopeful majority of are us lucky enough to pass on peacefully when the time is right, others taken from us by acts of God, and unfortunately too many who fall to the battle within themselves.

August 21st marks the traditional memorial day of the 7th Cavalry Regiment. This date was chosen in remembrance of the first fallen member of the 7th Cavalry, Brigadier General Krazee. The 7th Cavalry memorial day is considered a furlough day, in which all departments and units of the 7th Cavalry cease operations in respect for the fallen. Within this time, a special Regimental Meeting is held in which the BG James "Krazee" Foster Lifetime Achievement Medal and the CSM Ronnie "Coldblud" Bussey Lifetime Achievement Medals are awarded to those who display exceptional merit and skill in thier careers within the 7th Cavalry. Additionally, each battalion of the regiment has the option to host a memorial service in their dedicated areas of operation.
