Definition of Regimental Crest

Facere non Dicere -- "To do, not to say," or more liberally translated, "Actions speak louder than words." How can a regiment with such a motto speak loudly of its history which, of necessity, involves much saying and many words?
This regiment is oriented primarily toward actions. Present and future doings are "why we train." But past doings can inspire new doings, and in so doing, the past lives through the future. So the retelling of past doings is not simply to relive the past, but to impregnate the future of the 107th Cavalry with the solid blood lines of past Ohio Cavalry. With this purpose in mind these past doings are worthy of telling and no violence is done to our motto.
Lincoln had the same thought when he spoke the words "…The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work…"

TO: The First Cleveland Cavalry Soldiers

At no time in the history of our organization has it been more important than now to energize our group. In the past, we have had numerous soldiers for WWII and the Korean War that actively participated. As the number of these veterans continues to dwindle, and the number of 107th units decline, the significance of this organization seems to fade away.

We can’t wait until our numbers are so small that our relevance is questioned. To remain a viable organization well into the future, I ask each one of you to recruit (1) one new member in this next year. I’m sure you all know at least someone from your old unit that would be interested in becoming an active member. Sometimes just a phone call will inspire a former member to show up at the Annual Steak Roast or Holiday Party.

I know of no other organization that cost so little and yet gives so much in return. It is critically important that we keep the legacy of the First Cleveland Cavalry alive for the generations to come.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation and support.


Sincerely,

Thomas P. Luczynski
President
