Military Hall of Fame induction ceremony
Veterans Day, Nov. 11, 2010,

at the Gaylord Center of the Oklahoma Christian University in Edmond, Oklahoma.

Colonel Ramsey was an officer in the US Army’s 26th Cavalry (Philippine Scouts). He has been awarded many decorations for his achievements in combat. Col. Ramsey authored, with Stephen J. Rivele, the recently reissued book, Lieutenant Ramsey’s War, a must read for those interested in what took place early in World War II in the Philippines.

Colonel Ramsey led the last US Army’s horse cavalry charge during the early fighting on Bataan. Sadly, the troop’s horses had to become part of the food supply in which desperate measures were taken to feed both the Filipino and American soldiers as well as the thousands of refugees on the Bataan peninsula.
