Colonel Tom Vossler, (Ret.), served thirty years of active military service in the US Army, which included command of an infantry platoon in combat during the Vietnam War. Since retiring in 1998, Tom has worked as a federally examined and licensed battlefield guide at Gettysburg, where he specializes in battlefield studies and leadership seminars for national and international military units and civilian corporations.
