My book on Captain
Michael J. Daly of A Company, 15th Infantry Regiment,
who received the Medal of Honor for his actions on April
18, 1945, in Nuremberg will be released on September 1.
It is published by Texas A&M University Press and is
entitled A Cause Greater Than Self: The Journey of
Michael J. Daly, WWII Medal of Honor Recipient. It
is available at Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com As
you know, I had the privilege of interviewing Mike Daly
many times. He and I became good friends and we spoke
three or four times a week over the course of a six year
period. He was one of the best men I have ever known. In
eleven months of combat from Omaha Beach on June 6,
1944, to April 19, 1945 in Nuremberg where he was
severely wounded, Mike's gallantry resulted in two
Purple Hearts, a Bronze Star with "V" for valor, three
Silver Stars, the Medal of Honor and went from private
to captain and company commander. And all before
reaching the age of twenty-one! A Company became known
as "Daly Company" in his honor. I hope that you enjoy
the book and that I do justice to Mike's memory. Thank
you for all of your help on this project.
P.S.
My Facebook site has a lot of
information about Mike and the book, including many
photographs. You can view it at Steve Ochs

Making John a Soldier:
A Nebraskan Goes to War
[Paperback]
John Malloy Sr
(Author)
The author, born in Nebraska in 1923 after struggling through
the depression years of the Desperate Thirties volunteered
for military service in 1942. I subsequently fought in the
Ardennes, Rhineland, and Central Europe campaigns and earned
the Combat Infantry Badge and was honored with the Bronze
Star with the V for Valor emblem. |
http://www.amazon.com/Making-John-Soldier-Nebraskan-Goes/dp/1432777432/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322612222&sr=8-1 |
Book Description
Publication Date: November 13,
2011
"Making John a Soldier A Nebraskan Goes to War"
describes the life and trials of some of the 16,000,000
Americans who fought freedom's battle in World War II- the
group Tom Brocaw dubbed " The Greatest Generation."
The book describes how World War II engulfed the author's
life from his enlistment in 1942 until his discharge three
years later. It includes highlights of life changing
experiences the author encountered as an infantry rookie
training in California's desert in 1943 to the role he later
played helping crush Hitler's minions.
The book is
more than a history of one person or one infantry division.
Rather it describes key battle actions of Army units in both
the Pacific and European theaters, as well as pivotal Marine
and Naval engagements in the Pacific. It examines the
titanic Russian and German struggles from Germany's invasion
of Russia in June 1941 to the Soviet's final conquest of
Berlin in 1945. Thirty maps depict settings where crucial
battles were fought in both the European and Pacific
theaters.
The book often focuses on the individual
warrior who fought alone against a determined and brutal
enemy. The book delineates strategy dictated by the most
senior command, guiding battle action of friend and foe
alike. "Making John A Soldier" provides a view of the
uncelebrated sacrifices and bravery of the ordinary American
GI during World War II. It recounts the heroic exploits of a
special group-seven Nebraskans awarded the Medal of Honor.
The exploits of the 3d Infantry Division are well
documented in this book . These include its part in the
Torch invasion in North Africa in November 1942,the invasion
of Sicily, and the battle at the Anzio Beachhead. There
follows a review of the invasion of Southern France,
followed by the bloody fight in Colmar driving the last
Germans back across the Rhine River.
The book,
however, is more than a history of one person or one
infantry division. It describes key battle actions in both
the Pacific and European theaters. It also examines selected
Russian and German battles from Germany’s invasion of Russia
in June 1941 to the Soviet’s conquest of Berlin in 1945.
Thirty maps depict settings where crucial battles were
fought in both Europe and the Pacific.
Many of the 3d
infantry Division Veterans and their children and
grandchildren will enjoy learning more about the exploits of
the 3d Division in World War II while also learning how this
division's brave warriors overcame a determined and ruthless
enemy.

Letter Marked Free:
A
Powerful and Gripping Account of a Combat Soldier in WWII
[Paperback]
Robert Lynch (Author)
|
 |
A Letter Marked Free is the true story of a young
combat soldier on the battlefield in World War II as told
through his letters home to his family. The letters
powerfully portray life on the front lines and the vivid
accounts reveal the intense hardships endured for the cause
of freedom.
Bob Lynch was nineteen and living in Rye,
NY, when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. He enlisted in
the U.S. Army and served in the 3rd Infantry Division as a
combat rifleman, light machine-gunner, and mortarman. Bob
was wounded and missing in action (MIA) behind enemy lines
for over 10 days. He received the Bronze Star, Purple Heart,
and Combat Infantryman Badge, along with many other honors.
He participated in first-wave amphibious assault landings on
Anzio, Italy, and St. Tropez, France, and accumulated an
incredible 350 days in frontline combat.
Bob was
awarded the French Legion of Honor in January 2007 in
recognition and gratitude for his role in the liberation of
France. He received France's highest decoration "for
outstanding valor and service during WWII." Previously, he
had been awarded the French Croix de Guerre with Palm twice
and coveted fourragere.

Book Description
Publication Date:
October 28, 2006
In the second year of the Korean War, Jack Siewert
commanded a platoon of five M-46 tanks. Temporarily
assigned to provide fire support for an infantry
battalion on the front, he eventually found himself
in the midst of intense fighting for a relatively
unknown and unimportant hill, code named Outpost
Kelly.
Those four days of battle against Chinese forces
form the heart of this memoir, which is unique in
its focus on the hill fighting that dominated two
thirds of the Korean War. Trained to take advantage
of his tanks’ mobility, his orders—to provide direct
fire support for advancing infantry—along with the
mountainous terrain and the torrential monsoon rains
that created shin-deep fields of impenetrable mud,
forced him to abandon doctrine and improvise.
At the height of the fighting, Siewert was able to
bring to bear the guns from only one of his five
tanks against the enemy. Nevertheless, his platoon
played a key role in allowing members of the 15th
Infantry to retake Outpost Kelly, and he offers an
excellent analysis of how theory and experience come
together in a point-of-the-spear military situation.
Siewert's platoon played a key role in allowing
members of the 15th Infantry to retake Outpost
Kelly, and he offers an excellent analysis of how
theory and experience come together in a
point-of-the-spear military situation. Outpost
Kelly also paints a fascinating picture of the
type of fighting, often overlooked, that
characterized the second and third years of the
Korean War. With truce talks proceeding in
Panmunjom, both sides fought to claim incremental
pieces of real estate along the demarcation line
between North and South.
In the grand scheme of the war, the battle for
Outpost Kelly might not ahce meant much. But for 3rd
Infantry Division, and the men, like Jack Siewert,
who fought there, it was the entire focal point of
the war during the last four days of July, 1952.

Dogface Soldier
The Life of General

"On July 11, 1943,
General Lucian Truscott received the Army’s second-highest
decoration, the Distinguished Service Cross, for valor in action in
Sicily. During his career he also received the Army Distinguished
Service Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster, the Navy Distinguished Service
Medal, the Legion of Merit, and the Purple Heart. Truscott was one
of the most significant of all U.S. Army generals in World War II,
pioneering new combat training methods, including the famous
“Truscott Trot," and excelling as a combat commander, who turned the
3d Infantry Division into one of the finest divisions in the U.S.
Army. He was instrumental in winning many of the most important
battles of the war, participating in the invasions of North Africa,
Sicily, Anzio, and southern France. Both peers and 'dogfaces,' i.e.,
common soldiers, respected Truscott, and General Eisenhower ranked
him second only to George S. Patton Jr. as a field army commander.
"Yet no definitive
history of his life has been compiled. Wilson Heefner corrects that
with the first authoritative biography of this distinguished
American military leader. Heefner has undertaken impressive research
in primary sources—as well as interviews with family members and
former associates—to shed new light on this overlooked hero. He
presents Truscott as a soldier who was shaped by his upbringing,
civilian and military education, family life, friendships, and
evolving experiences as a commander both in and out of combat.
"Heefner’s brisk
narrative explores Truscott’s thirty–year Army career and defines
his roles in key operations. It also examines Truscott’s postwar
service as military governor of Bavaria, particularly his role in
improving living conditions for Jewish displaced persons, removing
Nazis from civil government, and assisting in the trials of German
war criminals. And it offers the first comprehensive examination of
his subsequent career in the Central Intelligence Agency, where he
served as senior CIA representative in West Germany during the early
days of the Cold War, and later as CIA Director Allen Dulles’s
deputy director for coordination in Washington.
"Dogface Soldier
is a portrait of a man who earned a reputation for being honest,
forthright, fearless, and aggressive, both as a military officer and
in his personal life—a man who, at the dedication ceremony for the
Anzio–Nettuno American cemetery in 1945, turned away from the crowd
and faced the thousands of crosses stretching before him to address
those buried there. Heefner has written a definitive biography of a
great soldier and patriot."
About the Author
Wilson A. Heefner, a retired physician, lives in Stockton,
California. He retired from the U.S. Army in the grade of colonel
after forty-one years of service as an enlisted man, infantry
officer, and medical officer in the Regular Army, Army National
Guard, and U.S. Army Reserve. He is the author of Twentieth
Century Warrior: The Life and Service of Major General Edwin D.
Patrick and Patton's Bulldog: The Life and Service of General
Walton H. Walker.

A Kid from Pittsburgh by Marion Rosen
With Morris Rosen
I first conceived the
idea for a biography about my husband’s early years from age 13 to20
while touring Europe in 1994 for the 50th anniversary of D-Day. For
this journey, World War II veterans from the U.S. Army’s Third
Division traveled over the same paths they’d covered 50 years
earlier in 1944 while struggling to take back territory seized by
Hitler.
By witnessing the incredible obstacles our troops had to overcome
first-hand, I instinctively understood that these men had gone
through much more than the history books have reported. My husband,
Morris Rosen, usually chose to talk about only a few incidents that
were, at times, hilariously funny, but I wanted to delve deeper. I
talked to the veterans and chronicled their stories. I especially
wanted to know more about the almost-unbelievable events that still
caused my husband and the rest of the men to grow teary-eyed so many
years later.
As I learned the unadulterated story of the war from a private’s
perspective, I also came to understand the heartbreak of a mere boy
who’d run away from a wretched home life to go off to war at 17.
War is never an easy topic to grasp, but A KID FROM PITTSBURGH is
sensitive yet out-spoken. Rowdy, yet gentle. Brutal circumstances
are made comprehensible. War is interpreted by a kid who grew up
without even realizing it.
Comments about A KID FROM PITTSBURGH:
“Marion Rosen’s biography on husband, WWII hero Morris Rosen in her
A KID FROM PITTSBURGH is a story that no Hollywood screenwriter
could create. This is a must read for everyone.”
Roger Corman, Award winning filmmaker
“While Audie Murphy is perhaps the most renowned WWII hero it would
be hard not to include Morris Rosen as someone high up on this list.
Corporal Rosen was an amazing young man who performed miracles
during WWII in putting his life on the line in the most dangerous
situations imaginable.”
Edward Janke, Retired U.S. Army Colonel
"THE KID FROM PITTSBURGH is a book I just couldn’t put down. Marion
Rosen’s biography on her husband is a slam dunk."
Bob Cousy, Hall of Fame basketball legend

Howitzers,
Grasshoppers, and the Holy Right Hand (Paperback)
by
John Niesel (Author)
When he enlisted in the United
States Army Artillery six months prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor, Harold
Brown couldn't possibly have known what fate had in store for him. Traveling
from the high plains of Colorado to the battlefields of Europe, Harold
experienced the war as many American GI's did, enduring its trials and
horrors, hoping for the day when he could finally come home. Unlike most
GI's in World War II however, Harold would have the opportunity to touch
history, and in doing so, he would play a part in the recovery of the most
important national symbols of Hungary: the Holy Right Hand and the Crown of
St. Stephen. Illustrated with over 160 relevant photographs, and printed in
an easy-to-read format, Harold's recounting of his service covers many of
the major battles in the ETO. Harold was awarded the Air Medal and the
Bronze Star for his service, and it is an honor to share his story with you.

Takedown: The 3rd Infantry Division's Twenty-One
Day Assault on Baghdad (Hardcover)
by Jim Lacey (Author)
This is easily the most interesting account of the invasion of Iraq
yet written and it covers not only the American perspective on the
fighting, but also the Iraqi's viewpoint (based on interviews with
Iraqi generals). Virtually every other history I have read has
totally overlooks the contribution the 3rd Infantry Division made to
the fight and until now they were in danger of being the forgotten
piece of the war. This is a bit surprising since the 3rd ID did most
of the fighting on the march up - far surpassing the amount of
contact the Marines faced (though their performance was also
spectacular).
No matter what you may think of the right or wrong of our
involvement in Iraq or what has happened since the invasion, there
is no doubt that the actual assault from Kuwait to Baghdad was
brilliantly executed and deserves to be recorded as one of the
greatest military operations in American history. Takedown tell this
story in magnificent fashion and captures this often harrowing fight
in incredible detail. I walked away from it with a new respect for
the American soldier and our Army.... A great read that I recommend
to all!

Hitler's Mountain:
The Fuhrer, the Obersalzberg And the American Occupation of
Berchtesgaden (Hardcover)
by Arthur H. Mitchell (Author)
Adolf Hitler owed his success to his remarkable
ability to capture the hearts of the German people. That ability was
largely due to his skill at creating a public persona, not only as a
man of determination and effectiveness, but as a visionary and
prophet. To develop the latter image he associated himself with the
Bavarian Alps, where his retreat in Obersalzberg became almost a
magical cave from which he was able, with a wave of his wand, to
manipulate public opinion. This work examines the political events
that took place in Obersalzberg from the 1920s until the U.S. Army
returned control of the area to the German government in 1995.
Concentrating primarily on the years during which Hitler was in
residence, it discusses the geography, history and climate of
Berchtesgaden (a town located in the Bavarian Alps and home to
Obersalzberg) as well as Hitler's original acquaintance with the
area. In a wider scope, however, the work focuses on the symbolism
of identity and public perception as it relates to the place,
setting and lifestyle of political figures. Such symbolism was
especially important for Hitler as he deliberately and ruthlessly
perfected his public image in his quest for control of the German
government. The closing chapter follows Berchtesgaden through its
military occupation after the Nazi defeat in 1945.

Arthur H. Mitchell is a professor of history at the Salkehatchie
Campus of the University of South Carolina. He lives in Allendale,
South Carolina and Associate member of the Society of the 3rd

Act 2: WWII
The Adventures of Bruce Monkman
1941-1945
A sheltered, naive, and undereducated young man,
with few prospects and from a sleepy small town in southern
California, had eye opening experiences entering the U.S. Army at
the age of 20 in 1941. He served as a Battalion supply technician in
the 3rd Infantry Division through the war until the ripe old age of
24 in 1945.
This adventure took him from California across
the United States, to North Africa and into Europe, including the
Anzio landing. He wasn't on the front lines thus this is not a war
story of battles and generals although there are battles to recount
and Patton does make an appearance. This is the story of a regular
guy in a most irregular situation, whose tales clearly illustrate
the daily reality of wartime in World War Two.
Bruce Monkman lives in Los Angeles, California, with his wife,
Nancy. Since retiring from the Union Pacific Railroad, he spends his
time gardening, visiting with friends, attending Army reunions, and
writing his memoirs.
To Purchase: Contact Bruce Monkman at 818-343-3370,

This is not a chronicle of a brave and heroic soldier who
rose several ranks to Captain or Colonel or Major, although he received a
simple PFC to T-5 promotion along the way with a bunch of ‘other ‘guys’.
This was an ordinary American boy, raised in a devout Catholic family by
parents with strict principles, who was caught up in the conditions of a
U.S. World War into which he was hurled as a teenager.
All at once, he was clad in khaki and sent here and there on the
European battlefields. He was taking orders alongside his Army comrades,
and serving his time as prescribed by U.S. Army guidelines. It is not a
profound look at the lofty pursuits of a hero, but the necessary obligations
of Private Arthur B. Pranger. There are narratives and exhibits included but
primarily this volume reflects ‘Art’s’ personal ‘spin’ on this memorable
period in history - 2 Years - 2 Months and 29 Days with A Company, 86th
Chemical Mortar Battalion.
The 86th CMB was an integral part of the war across Europe. The
battalion's role with the 4.2. Mortar included being attached to a few dozen
INFANTRY Regiments and Divisions across Europe - through Normandy, Northern
France - Belgium “Battle of the Bulge - Hurtgen Forest,” points in Germany -
winding up in Czechoslovakia in 1945 leaving all this drama behind at Camp
Campbell Kentucky to return to civilian life on November 6, 1945. This work
includes humorous incidents - not usually associated with the serious
business of warfare.

First to the Rhine:
The 6th Army Group in World War II (Hardcover)
by Harry Yeide (Author), Mark Stout (Author)
This is the story of the Allied forces--the
U.S. 6th Army Group and French 1st Army--that landed in southern France on
August 15th, 1944.
The book follows the action from the French beaches to the Vosges Mountains,
where the first Allied penetration along the entire Western front reached
the Rhine River. First to the Rhine covers the vicious fighting during the
German Nordwind counteroffensive in January 1945
and the French-American offensive to clear the Colmar Pocket. It then
pursues the forces of the Third Reich across the Rhine to their ultimate
destruction.
Unlike the forces landing in Normandy, these American divisions were
hard-bitten veterans of the war in Italy, and, in the case of the 3d
Infantry Division, North Africa. The French units included many veterans of
the Italian campaign and comprised Frenchmen and Africans in almost equal
numbers. As the campaign went on, the French ranks were swelled by tens of
thousands of Free French Forces of the Interior, the famous maquis. The
German forces arrayed against the Allies included the famed 11th Panzer
Division, an Eastern front veteran known as the “Ghost Division,” which
would hit the Allied advance time and again only to slip away before it
could be pinned and destroyed.
This is the harrowing story First to the Rhine tells, from the strategic
plane-down through the corps, division, and regimental levels to the
personal experience of the men in combat, including the likes of Audie
Murphy, America’s most decorated infantryman of the war. The book features
little-known battles, including one at Montelimar, when an ad hoc American
armored command and the 36th Infantry Division came within a hair’s breadth
and several days of hard fighting of cutting off the entire German 19th
Army. This is the first popular work in
English to explore the French role in the fighting and the relationship
between the U.S. Army and the French forces fighting under American command.
"First to the Rhine draws heavily on official American and French
after-action reports, other contemporary combat records such as highly
detailed S-3 and G-3 journals, and interviews conducted by the Army with
soldiers shortly after the actions occurred. It also features personal
recollections written by key commanders in American, French, and German
ranks, as well as illustrations from official U.S. Army photographers and
filmmakers.

forces that fought under American command—and at times also controlled
American divisions. |

Under the Wire : The World War II Adventures of a
Legendary Escape Artist and "Cooler King"
(Hardcover)
by William Ash, Brendan Foley
I'm a London-based author and spent the last few years
helping one of North America's greatest unsung heroes of WWII, William
Ash, put together his wartime autobiography UNDER THE WIRE, which has just
been published in USA and Canada.
Bill, who just celebrated his 88th birthday, is probably the greatest
living US prisoner of war escape-artist of WWII. Born in Texas, he joined
the RCAF in 1940 and flew Spitfires until shot down in 1942. He then
became a serial escape artist, attempting 13 PoW-camp escapes - cutting
through the barbed wire, climbing over it, or tunneling under it before
finally escaping for good.
When the book came out in the UK a few months ago, it became an instant
best-seller, but somehow it has been almost completely ignored so far by
the media in North America. The only thing we can do to get Bill and his
book the recognition they deserve in the US and Canada is to turn to the
internet and people who care about WWII and the people who fought it for
us. So I would be very grateful if you would forward this note to anyone
who you think might like the book or help to spread the word that it is
out there, available at most good bookshops or online at Amazon.

Push" deals with the battalion's support of the 3rd ID in March of 1945 as
the division attacked toward the Siegfried line.

Cold Ground's Been My Bed : A Korean War Memoir
by Daniel Wolfe (Outpost 52)
Available at amazon.com List Price: $22.95
Dan Wolfe was a Bronx, New York, teenager whose passions were
baseball, fooling around in school, and hanging out at the candy store in the
1940s. Three years out of high school, he was drafted and sent to Korea. Cold
Ground’s Been My Bed is his no-holds-barred memoir of the experience, from his
physical to deployment into a frontline platoon. |
Dan tells the story with unflinching honesty and humor amid the tragedies that
befell his company.
Feeling inadequate about handling the
Browning Automatic Rifle in basic training, he expressed his doubts to a cadre
man, who assured him, “You don’t have to worry about it, kid. It’s given to the
biggest men in the squad.” The day he arrived on the front line, Dan,
five-foot-seven and 133 pounds, was assigned the twenty-pound BAR.
When his platoon was ambushed, Dan crawled over fire-swept terrain to retrieve
the body of his sergeant. Decades later he learned that he’d been cited for the
Silver Star, but the Jeep carrying the papers was blown up by mortar rounds.
When a GI was killed by negligent “friendly fire,” the victim’s buddy carried
out a revenge murder.
In recounting his story, Dan never pretends to be more than he was, a young man
being shocked and shaped by the reality of war. |

THE NOT FORGOTTEN WAR chronicles the experiences of Private Nicholas Dick who
served in a machine gun crew during the last few months of the Korean conflict.
Those last months were among some of the bloodiest as both sides fought to claim
as much territory as possible prior to reaching a cease-fire agreement. For
years after his discharge, Nick was never able to talk about his horrific
experiences and never mentioned the frequent nightmares he suffered. After a job
injury forced him to take early retirement, he suddenly found himself becoming a
victim of Post Traumatic Stress syndrome. Here is one GI's story of war and its
aftermath.

Electronic Book Size is 14567K $ 4.95 |
At last someone has written about the long overlooked story,
of the critical part played (in December 1950) by the 7th Infantry Regiment, 3rd
Division, in the vicious battle fought at Huksu-ri and Sachang-ni, southwest of
the Chosin Reservoir in North Korea. The book contains 329 pages of real life
adventure, humor, suspense, excitement, worry, disappointment, heartbreak,
death, sadness, depression, recovery, happiness, and a multitude of historic
facts.
His life beginning in an upstairs flat in Detroit, Michigan, this is the
story of Terry Lloyd Tennant, born into poverty during the great depression in
the 1930’s, his experiences growing up in the inner city; then (at age 18)
leaving home and enlisting in the United States Army.
Known intimately only by
those who were there and survived, it is the authors hope this book will be read
by many of the 3rd Division men, so they will know and perhaps appreciate why we
who were their are so proud of this special chapter in the long and glorious
history of the 3rd Infantry Division U.S. Army - the “Rock of the Marne!”

"Thunder Run: The Armored Strike to Capture Baghdad"
at Amazon.com by David Zucchino
Every war has images that are burned into the public's mind.
Operation Iraqi Freedom has several....the blinding sandstorms, or the photos of
Iraqis and GIs tearing down statues and paintings of Saddam. The other
memorable event of the war for many was the sight of American armor racing into
the heart of Baghdad, despite the daily assurances from Iraq's Information
Minister that the Allies were nowhere near the city.
|
The armor was from the US Army's 3rd Infantry Division
(Mechanized), and Los Angeles Times reporter David Zucchino was embedded
with them for their drive up into Iraq, and then on their daring "Thunder
Runs" into the city. A year later, he has released a book about the
division's remarkable armor thrusts into Baghdad and the savage fights on
a major highway to the west of the city as the division sought to
re-supply the armored force. "Thunder Run: The Armored Strike to Capture
Baghdad" promises to cement this amazing story into the annals of
American military accomplishments with hundreds of first-hand accounts of
what happened in the first week of April 2003, so
far from Fort Stewart, Georgia.

To Hell and Back
(Paperback)
His 1949 autobiography To
Hell And Back was a best seller. Murphy starred as himself in a film biography released by
Universal-International in 1955 with the same title. The movie, To Hell and Back, held the
record as Universal's highest grossing picture until 1975 when it was finally surpassed by
the movie Jaws.
In the mid-60s the studios
switched from contract players to hiring actors on a picture-by-picture basis.
Consequently, when his contract expired in 1965 Universal did not renew. This gave him the
opportunity to
work with other studios and independent film producers. In the 25 years that Audie spent
in Hollywood, he made a total of 44 feature films.

The Fort Stewart Museum Foundation Presents
the Official 3rd Infantry Division
OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM
Limited Edition Print
by
James Dietz
750 Military Edition Prints (Limited Edition, Signed and Numbered) are
available for $125.00. |
The Rock of the Marne…Tigris and Euphrates” captures the might and
firepower of the 3rd Infantry Division in its historic drive to Baghdad
and the eventual overthrow of the Hussein Regime. Known as the Marne
Division, the 3rd Infantry Division added a new chapter to its rich
history by moving farther and faster than any combat operation in history.
Key to the success of the Division was the seizure of the Tigris and
Euphrates Rivers, which allowed for the freedom of movement not only for
the Division, but for the entire coalition forces. This limited edition
print by artist James Dietz depicts not only the strength of the Division,
but also reflects the bravery of the men and women who pushed over 750
kilometers into enemy territory and soundly defeated the Iraqi forces in
every engagement of every battle.
