Retired Army Veterinary Corps, 1995.

Only dangerous duty I had was rounding up Ft. Riley's 53 head of American Bison 1985-89. The troops and I had the unique experience of being caught in a Bison stampede inside a corral a couple times. It makes you twitch when Bison fly by you on both sides. My wife jacked up my life insurance. :) Worst experience was driving a lime green K-car on the German autobahn.

I must say, if you get the chance... Watch the History Channel's "Gettysburg" two hour documentary. I watched it last night and must say, for those whom think freedom is free...
50,000 wounder/dead troops in three days. This would equate to about ~six million today. This is truly a stunning/visual awareness to our past fathers battles.
