Summary, Etc.
  • Summary, etc. - "Each of us who served in the 1st Cavalry Division since its organization and activation in 1921 can be proud of our division, out unit and our service. This book chronicles that service. In peace and in war, troopers of the First Team have been in the forefront of war fighting and of peacekeeping. Past books have highlighted specific eras in our history. This book is all inclusive. It reminds us that every trooper has been important in support of our nation's military efforts throughout the 20th century, and it will be equally important in the new [millennium] as described in the last Chapter - "The Next Generation, 2000-2020."" - From the Introduction
