    1996, Edward L. Daily, We Remember: U.S. Cavalry Association, Turner Publishing Company, page 7, Fiddler's Green is where a cavalryman meets his comrades who have gone before him, at an old canteen, surrounded by a broad meadow, dotted with trees and crossed by many streams. Here the cavalryman stops, unsaddles his horse, and joins his comrades for a visit with many stories, reminiscences, and camaraderie, before continuing his journey. Soldiers of no other service may stop at Fiddler's Green, they must continue to march.
