Victorville City Council Member Eric Negrete (right) presented a proclamation to the
11th ACR Public Affairs command team of the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment – Col. Kevin Jacobi and Command
Sgt. Maj. Carl Ashmead.
The 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment received a very special honor from the city
of Victorville, Jan 28.

The regiment was awarded a proclamation issued by Victorville Mayor Gloria Garcia.
Proclamations are ceremonial documents distributed by the mayor’s office to
recognize extraordinary service provided by organizations or individuals supporting
significant events within a community.
The proclamation recognized Blackhorse Soldiers, non-commissioned officers and
commissioned officers for supporting three Veterans Day observances within the city.
On Nov. 11, 2015, the 11th ACR led the Victorville 19th Annual Veterans Day
Parade with a horse mounted color guard, two “up-armored” combat vehicles and
a formation of Troopers. Immediately following the parade, the regimental com-
manding officer, Col. Kevin Jacobi, honored and addressed local Veterans during a
memorial ceremony while Soldiers and the 11th ACR Horse Detachment stood-fast
in front of the city’s war monument. Afterwards, Soldiers gathered at the Victorville
library to participate in a flag raising celebration in honor of the city’s new Veterans
Healing Garden.
Several Blackhorse Soldiers not participating in the events gathered street-side in
support of their comrades. Many friends and family members from Fort Irwin also
attended the festivities.
According to Garcia, the turnout at the annual Veterans Day parade and memorial
ceremony was the largest on record.
City Council Member Eric Negrete presented Jacobi with the proclamation in
the presence of several hundred Soldiers during an after-duty regimental gathering at
Shockwave here.
On behalf of Garcia, Negrete gave special thanks to Jacobi and the participating
Blackhorse Troopers during his remarks.
Jacobi stated that it was an honor to receive the proclamation on behalf of the unit
and that he appreciated every member of the Blackhorse team for their support to the
regiment and surrounding communities.
