Tune introduced to Custer by Captain Myles Keogh, born Leighlinbridge, Ireland. Said to be one of the last fallen at Little Big Horn. As a mark of respect for his bravery his horse, Comanche, was left the only living part of the Union Army after the battle was over.
If I remember my history correctly only 5 troops were wiped out. Benteen and Reno's were shot up with many survivors. Great Song. This We'll Defend. Hooah
Keogh wore "big medicine" under his shirt. When they stripped his body they found his Agnus Dei medal (The Lamb of God). Evidently it was enough to keep his body from being mutilated.
I served with A TRP, 3rd Squadron, 7th Cav during OIF I and later with HHT, 3rd Squadron, 7th Cav during OIF III. My grandfather was in 2-7 Cav, 1st Cav during the Korean War. I'm very proud to have served with some of the best soldiers in the Army and in one of the best units in the Army.
My Great Uncle was George Armstrong Custer, and when my Uncle Bob was in the Army he was in the 7th Cavalry. I'll always have a special place for Gary Owen!
I had two nephews serve in Iraq.My wife's only nephew was in the 1st Cav in Iraq from 2006-7 and my youngest nephew was in the 10th Mountain in Iraq from 2007-8. Both came home safe and fairly sound. I greatly appreciate your service to our country.OOOAAHHH!!!
My gg-uncle, Captain Lindzy E. Cheatham, served as a trooper in Troop B of the US 7th Cavalry at Fort Grant, AZ, 1892-97, then transferred to the US 3rd Artillery, Battery K, and served at the Battle of Manila, 1898, Span-Am War. He was promoted by special order of the President of the US to 1st LT, then given a presidential appointment as an officer, 1901, in the newly formed Philippine Scouts, and served in the Philippines as the Commanding officer of the 17th Company, 6th Battalion, US Army, stationed at Jolo-Jolo, until 1912, when he retired. Whenever I hear he Garry Owen. I am reminded of my uncle, with the greatest of pride.
ggrimme32068 I'm a descendant of curly ..one of custers scouts..the only one that actually survived battle of little bighorn.i wonder if he and your great great uncle knew each other ...lol
Yur family lines are noble through merit, that is, the BEST way, through doing the right thing, somehow, often shockingly, creatively, dutifully and in good time, order and ways, i.e., warwinners, if thats possible. The g.o. is scottish/irish style of randy, rousing, (drinking-type) song that primarily carries a relentless, forward beat, like walking, cantering horse(es), similarly paced. As such, the then-current hit song was naturally seized immediately upon and adopted by the groups' earliest troops as THEIR SONG. Such a phenomenally good choice is secular spooky. Deze catz wuz/is pros only, before that idea was fully formed, i.e., U.S. 7th cavalry is a work in progress, a phenomenal conception of perfect, universal cavalry combatant. No harmony here. Everybody's singing the same song, goin the same way, together, no matter what happens, victorious. Garry Owens fits 7th cavalry like a velvet, (loaded) glove - cavalry-style.
As a Briton, this is as inspirational as it is to the next American; as in the Colonial period. It's more American than British but I really love it as a march because it's one of those bouncy marches that you can relate to.
This would sound well being played at the head of the Seventh Cavalry as it marches through Red Square, with the music bouncing off the Kremlin walls. It would be there at the request of the government of the Free Republic of Russia, to celebrate the accession of Russia into nato. Unlikely. And yet, I saw something very like that, a few years ago, in Berlin. Great tune, by the way!
I lost a lot of respect for Mel Gibson, the Director of We Were Soldiers and played the least role of Col Hal Moore, when he failed to include Gary Owen in the movie out of Wokeness.
@@nepnepguythegreatestofall Literally one of the Lost Platoon members says "Garryowen, Sir!" when requesting permission to rejoin the line. And woke wasn't even a thing 20+ years ago lol. Of all the things to bitch about lmfao.
There is an old radio show from the 50's played on the XM Channel known as Radio Classics. It's called "Fort Laramie" that starred a pre-Perry Mason Raymond Burr. At the end of the show they would often play the Garryowen. I don't know who's version they played but it is a great rendition!
EXCELLENT! The members of the 7th look EXCELLENT! SEMPER FI! Yes I know they are not part of the US MARINE CORPS but they meet the same High Ideals and Honor of the Marines!
It was their Regimental Air/Song before several modern band instruments were even invented. Americans have Myles Keough, born near Limerick I think, to thank for importing the tune when he served under George A. Custer
By the way this is Gerryowen & St. Patricks Day not just Gerryowen but 2 famous Irish Marches used worldwide by the USA, British and Commonwealth Armies.
Custer took it from the Irish brigade during the Civil war, the fighting 69th proudly marches up 5ave leading the St Patrick’s Day playing Garryowen , Faugh an Balagh, which means Clear the way.
General Custer was an arrogant selfish man. He did not care about his men putting their lives on the line fighting Indians while he was receiving songs of praise from politicians when he was not putting his life on the line. Also the seventh cavalry was responsible for the wounded knee massacre in 1890
It's truly sad that in this country there are few videos with full military marches and displays. Only during Presidential inauguration, and even then low key and mixed with high school MB's. Let's start marching again!
@yeshuahfullofit Remember Camp Garry Owen well. I was at Hovey with 1-38 Inf in 1973. Still have a photo of a Huey Cobra--with the yellow crossed sabers on the nose and the "shark's mouth"-- that supported us one day. " Four years later, I ended up as a "token grunt" assigned to 3-7th in Germany. Deja-vu, for sure.
@USAPiper Both tunes are also used by the Irish Guards unit of the British Army, in fact "St Patrick's Day in the Morning" was one of the tunes played by the Pipers of the Irish Brigade fighting in the French Army against the British at the Battle of Fontenoy (May 11th 1745) - so an old history of martial use for both of these Irish tunes. Brevet Lt Col Myles Keogh who died at LittleBigHorn lived close to where I live. His descendants recently donated Myles' remaining memorabilia to a US museum
I was assigned to duty in 1963.As a MOS 133 Armored Intel Spec..with the 3rd Sqdn,7th Armored Cav. .. we were "Border Patrol' On "THE IRON CURTAIN"..In Gemany.. I was a crew member on a M114 Armored Scout Recon Vehicle (I was 17 and that thing had a Chevy V8 in it..was fun..but the vehicle was dishonorably dischared from military service about 1970 by Gen Westmoreland) This is the first time I ever have seen the lyrics to GARRY OWEN..Thanks !, ... (The Rabbit.."who actually managed to .."FTA")
just thinking about dad on fathers day, Russel L Decker 7th cav East German / Czechoslovakia Border patrol, that man wore his Gary Owens unit insignia pin every day for life
I had two nephews serve in Iraq.My wife's only nephew served in the"Blackhorse"*(*1st Cav)in Iraq from 2006-7 and my youngest nephew served in Iraq with the 10th Mountain Division from 2007-8. HooAhh!!
Thomas Lucken Yes that's right. Do you remember a Capt. Abromovitz (Spelling?). I think he was the XO at Garry Owen when you were there. He was the Scout (Blues Platoon) Platoon Leader when I was stationed at 2/17 Air Cavalry 101st Airborne 85-86.
When I was desert storm and we where sitting on our tracks waiting on orders an element of the 7th was coming I a d their lead vehicle had a loud speaker on it and they where playing this song over and over all the way to their position they where to set up for operations

2nd armored cavalry Bamberg Germany 1969/1970 as child I always liked the show rin tin tin. I was happy to be part of that tradition when I was older. I do understand the Indian war history too, being 35% Northern Cheyenne. just like the Aztecs they made many enemies and were defeated by small force of Spanish troops and a large native force from the west coast of Mexico. many first nations tribes were scouts for the U.S. because of there divisions amongst themselves, sorry to say.

@machado231097 He saved Gettysburg in the Union Rear during Pickett's Charge---Leading the Michigan Brigade they defeated Jeb Stuart 5,000 vs Michigan Brigade of 500. By trying to diminish Gen. Custer you are taking way the GLORY the Plains Indians deserve for taking out the Top US CAV unit of the American Army of 1876.
actually, atvthe time of Little Big Horn, most of Custers regiment were barely out of what amounted to basic training and had no experience. This has been proven based on the archeological evidence from the battle. They were brave but out-manned, out-gunned and out-fought.
The Gary Owen was FIRST RECORDED as used by the Irish in Limmerick when Cromwell invaded AND enslaved the Irish population. That was circa 1620!!! It was also played as a "Reel", dancing music.. the original words were in Gaelic. .You don't hear that much because the English even took the Language from the Irish...Anyone caught teaching it was hanged.
@ChampionOfTheForce No, 7th Cav is all over the US Army. Regiments ceased to exist as maneuver units with the rise of the Brigade Combat Team system, with the exception of parachute regiments and 2nd and 3rd Cavalry Regiment. There's 7th Cav in 2 ID, 1st Cav, 3 ID, etc...

Not that it matters, it's an Irish tune just like the minstrel boy!!
0:50 is part of Saint Patrick's day which is the quick match of the Irish guards :)

okay thanks very much for you respond !!
AWESOME
he was not a general when he led it he lost his commison when the war as over. he was a lieutenat colonel when he led the 7th cavalry.
And he was always called general afterwards. He lost it because it was a brevit rank.
Harvey served in Vietnam 1968-1969 proudly.
The Gary Owen was FIRST RECORDED as used by the Irish in Limmerick when Cromwell invaded AND enslaved the Irish population. That was circa 1620!!! It was also played as a "Reel", dancing music.. the original words were in Gaelic. .You don't hear that much because the English even took the Language from the Irish...Anyone caught teaching it was hanged.
Tenditious fact-challenged version of Irish history.
And I don’t even like Cromwell much. But I do know that in 1620 he was about 20 years old.
