HAPPY 98TH BIRTHDAY 2ND INFANTRY DIVISION - SECOND TO NONE!
This year we celebrate 98 years of selfless service to our nation. The 2nd Infantry Division was organized on 26 October 1917, at Bourmont, Haute Marne, France. We have a proud and honorable history which reflects the heart of the American Soldier and our ROK partners. Having fought in four wars, the Division is one of the most decorated divisions in the U.S Army. It boasts 40 Medal of Honor recipients, and more than 20 campaign participation credits. We are the only permanently forward-stationed division in the U.S. Army. The Division continues to serve our nation with extraordinary Soldiers, Families and Civilians, who display exceptional character in defense of our nation. As we continue to answer our nation's call, we remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in our fight for freedom.
