1. Travel to home of the "The Big Red One" at Fort Riley, Kansas. Get cool photos while at Fort Riley. 2. Lastly, return to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 3. While this bug travels: collect stories, photos and logs from current soldiers and veterans who are part of the Army infantry. *Please cross off goal #1 on the travel bug card when it's complete. This way geocachers will know when it's time for this bug to go home.
My interest in the military started as a small boy. I collected dozens of Army patches including this one. My dad was a cook in the Wisconsin National Guard field artillery. He's now retired. It was exciting to visit him during his two weeks of annual field manuvers at Fort McCoy near Sparta, Wisconsin. I enlisted even before I graduated from high school. I served in the Army from 1986-1990 as a combat tank crewman. Hopefully this travel bug will raise public awareness to the sacrifice that soldiers make everyday.

After moving this bug to the Netherlands and back to the USA, I decided to take a picture of it at
the Philadelphia International Airport. I would love to have taken pictures of it in the Netherlands,
but I was carrying too many bugs to make that practical. I will share a picture from the trip, without
the bug. I plan to drop the bug at an event tomorrow. If no one picks it up, I will grab it again and keep
moving it along.
