Anyone know the last time our forces were engaged in a cavalry charge? These guys are going down in the history books.

From here: In addition to being a forerunner of modern Special Forces, Ramsey has the distinction of leading the U.S. Army’s last horse cavalry charge on Jan. 16, 1942, in the village of Morogn on the west coast of Bataan.

The last mounted cavalry charge was during the 11th Cavalry's chase of Pancho Villa into Mexico. No sabers though, at that time the cavalry was armed with the .45 autos. I was with the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment in Germany and this story was recounted at almost every dining-in and formal ceremony.
