Governor’s Troop - Carlisle PA

May 8, 2008 on 8:55 pm | In Uncategorized |

On Cavalry Rd in Carlisle, PA is a Sherman Tank with a plaque on it. I decided to stop and look at it real quick during lunch and discovered it was from Pennsylvania’s Governor’s Troop as well as the Gobin Guards.

I did not know that the Philidelphia Troop was not the Governors Escort, but I guess it does not really matter.

I talked briefly to a soldier preparing a cook out at the monument and found out what the Gobin Guards are. It is a veterans group for former members of the 108th Field Artillery.
