THE BIG RED!
There is a history of a remarkable fighting machine known officially as the U.S. Army's 1st Infantry Division, and unofficially as the "Big Red One". The "BIG RED" was considered by many to be America's Premier Army division, and with good reason.
The BIG RED was engaged in some of the hardest fighting. There were battles with names that seared themselves into the consciousness of Americans for generations to come.
The 1st Infantry Division was not just the best damned division in the United States Army, but in any army in the world. Therefore, once the U.S. entered World War II, big things were expected from the BIG RED.
CARRY ON THE TRADITION!
