Think again. My father (now deceased) trained at Ft. Bliss where they had the last mounted calvary in the U.S. Army ca. 1942.
On another thread around here yesterday, someone posted info on a U.S. Army unit that actually fought on horseback in the Philippines during WWII.

Thanks, I had no idea about that at all. I knew a lot about Pershing, but I had no idea about the cavalry in WWII. I am a history major and I love learning more each day.
Thanks,
