A couple of years at home and then off to Iraq.
On my first mission my unit was hit so I was awarded the CIB for that action. Then after 6 months in country we were issued the 29th patch to be worn as a Combat Patch.
Plus I like the history of the Division since a large portion of it is right here in Virginia.
Sorry for the ramble,

I believe they were the first to receive the "new" Garand rifle :)
