The army bought pipes, a kilt and altered the jacket. I had the privelage to pipe the 69th into formation to unfurl their BCT colors in Kuwait, just before they crossed the berm into Iraq. Quite an honor. My proudest moment in OIF. No, the 1st Cav no longer have the pipers....odly they had an attachment to the 3rd ID with a pipe band in Germany. The name they gave them was something like Garry Owen.....something or other. The historical connentations are obvious. Apparently, the 2nd ID had a pipe bend as well but I can't place when.
