Mike -- CIB and 29th Inf? Pretty historic!

Bob,

I joined the 29th ID in 1992 after 4 year of Active Duty Marine Corpse.
I had a number of years doing the normal 1 wekend a month and 2 weeks a year.
Then off to Cuba for a nice all expense paid trip to the caribbean
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,
Mike

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