A Glimpse into the Heart of Heroism: The 16th Infantry Regiment
In this first installment, the spotlight is on the 16th Infantry Regiment—a regiment whose legacy of courage and sacrifice began in the bloody battles of the Civil War. This is no ordinary tale of soldiers; it’s the genesis of a unit that stood resilient through some of the fiercest battles in U.S. military history. Starting from the Civil War, where the seeds of this regiment’s bravery were first sown, the story traverses through landmark conflicts where the 16th Regiment was often “First In” and “Last Out,” embodying the spirit of endurance and unyielding resolve.
