Mission Statement
The 1st U.S. Volunteer Cavalry Regiment Rough Riders, Inc. (hereinafter “Rough Riders”) is formed for the purpose of creating and perpetuating a living memorial to the unique accomplishments of President Theodore Roosevelt and the members of the 1st U.S. Volunteer Cavalry Regiment known as the “Rough Riders.” As the City of Tampa was selected as the assembly and embarkation site of the U.S. military in 1898 for the ultimate liberation of Cuba, it is most appropriate for the citizens of the Tampa Bay area to form this organization. It is the intent of the members of the organization to develop ways to celebrate this great moment in American History by such activities as an annual festival; to collect and display artifacts of the era; to educate and emphasize to generations to come the importance of this feat by military forces; and to create other memorials as shall be appropriate from time to time.
