FT. SILL, Okla. (TNN) - After six years with the soldiers at Fort Sill, Big Deuce the seventh, Fort Sillâs mascot donkey, is retiring.
Captain Marc Mcmenamin says Fort Sill is the only active duty military base in the nation with a live mascot and that the donkeyâs are kept mostly to remind the soldiers and public alike about the 22 filed artillery unit that used mules to haul guns, move ammunition and carry soldiers from the phillippine islands to the jungles of panama in 1918.
