James Snodgrass Obituary – James Glenn Snodgrass, Colonel, United States Army (Retired), passed away on December 9, 2023. It is with a heavy heart that the Veterans of Vietnam and Cambodia of the 11th Armoured Cavalry report his passing. When it came to becoming a Blackhorse Trooper, Glenn was the pinnacle of excellence. While serving with the Regiment in Vietnam,
he was assigned to A Troop, 1st Squadron, where he held the positions of platoon leader and troop executive officer. The positions of Executive Officer of the 1st Squadron, Regimental Adjutant, and Commander of the 1st Squadron were held by him in Germany. Later on, when he had retired, he became the President of the Blackhorse Association for a period of four years.
During his retirement, he was responsible for organising a number of Blackhorse Reunions in Germany. The United States Cavalry and Armour Association presented him with the Order of St. George Gold Medallion in recognition of his continuous services to the armour community over the course of his life. Glenn was a remarkable leader and professional who inspired a great deal of loyalty from those who served under him.
Additionally, he was held in high esteem by others who worked alongside that individual. His cheerfulness and calm demeanour were treasured by everyone who had the opportunity to know him. Over the course of several decades, his support for the Regiment was instrumental in the formation of the Blackhorse Association as it exists today. We commemorate the long-lasting effects and contributions that Glenn has had on the 11th Armoured Cavalry Regiment and the troops together with whom he fought.
The Veterans of Vietnam and Cambodia of the 11th Armoured Cavalry are in mourning over Glenn’s demise. Numerous members of the military, members of his friends, and members of his family will miss him. We are going to publish the specifics of the memorial ceremony for Glenn as soon as we obtain them.
