The Cavalryman

John "was born to be a Warrior."  He was a "hard-punching, fearless officer." With his unique leadership style, the product of Marine Corps and Army experience, and innovative tactics, he led his loyal, dedicated and competent officers, non-commissioned officers, and enlisted troopers into the dense jungles north of Saigon to flush out and destroy the North Vietnamese Regulars and battle-hardened Vietcong who didn't believe the armored cavalry could penetrate their sanctuaries.  He prayed and he fought, but he never forgot the heroes he led through Hell, nor those that were wounded or killed.  Some troopers called him "Killer Cong Conley," and he was also called "The Point of the Spear."  He was THE CAVALRYMAN.
