141st Infantry

The 141st Infantry Regiment, part of the Texas Army National Guard, has a storied lineage dating back to 1836 as the First Texas Infantry Regiment. Federalized during World War I, the unit fought with distinction as part of the 36th Infantry Division in France. In World War II, the 141st played a critical role in the Italian Campaign and was famously involved in the "Lost Battalion" incident in the Vosges Mountains of France, where elements were surrounded by German forces and later rescued by Japanese-American soldiers of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team. The regiment has since served in various capacities, including deployments during the Global War on Terrorism, continuing its legacy of service and sacrifice.
