Bring the 30th Infantry Division the Recognition They Deserve

Created by M.C. on July 14, 2016

The 30th Infantry Division, "Old Hickory", was deemed the outstanding infantry division in the WWII European Theater of Operation. However, due to a paperwork log jam and the subsequent retirement of those in command, the 30th never received the Presidential Unit Citation. While the 30th was vital in several actions, we are seeking the PUC for the 30th's breach and penetration of the Siegfried Line that provided a clear avenue of march for Allied forces into Germany. The 30th captured more than 6200 prisoners, destroyed at least 191 pillbox positions, destroyed numerous German tanks and set the conditions for the capture of the town of Aachen. Please help us gain the PUC for our WWII heroes within their lifetimes. For more information, visit our website www.30thinfantry.wordpress.com
