Big Red One To Hold 2010 Reunion in San Antonio, Texas

Blue Bell, PA  Veterans of the Army

Renowned 1st Infantry Division, the Big Red One, will hold their 92nd Annual Reunion in San Antonio, Texas from August 25th to 29th at the Crowne Plaza Riverwalk Hotel.

The reunion will be conducted by the Big Red One veterans organization, the Society of the First Infantry Division headquartered in Blue Bell, PA.

 The 1st Infantry Division is the Army’s oldest and arguably most famous division. It served with great distinction in World War I, World War II, Vietnam and the first Gulf War (Desert Storm) as well as in Germany and the U.S. during the Cold War. Elements of the 1st Infantry Division have participated extensively in Operation Iraqi Freedom in Iraq and also in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan.

 The 1st Infantry Division has also trained thousands of Military Transition Team members and deployed them to Iraq and Afghanistan. Currently, the Division’s 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team is serving in northern Iraq. The Division headquarters will deploy to Iraq soon.

Over 800 Big Red One veterans and their guests attended the 91st Annual Reunion recently held in Dearborn, Michigan. The Commanding General of the Division and a solid contingent of leaders and young soldiers serving in the Division added a fresh and exciting dimension to the reunion.

Everyone who ever served in the First Infantry Division or any unit attached to it is cordially invited to attend the reunion.
