Not such an odd fate, and he inspired me to go Cav, instead of some other branch! (yes, kids, the Cavalry is a branch of the combat arms, just ask any Cavalry trooper!) Hey, why walk when you can RIDE!!! I also thought it was rather ironic that almost no one in the Seventh even knew that Comanche even existed, or where he was! I have since corrected that small oversight!
Still, I must confess that the unit I most closely identify with is the First Regiment of Dragoons, known as the "Blackhawks". Not many of us left anymore, but a long and proud tradition of service. I served in the Second Squadron, A Troop.

I knew about Comanche since I was a kid. Disney even had a movie called "Tonka" about him. We're not teaching our hstory to our children anymore.
