1ID 28th INF

The 28th Infantry Regiment, known as the "Lions of Cantigny," is a distinguished unit of the U.S. Army's 1st Infantry Division (1ID). Constituted in 1901, the regiment first saw combat during World War I and earned its nickname after capturing the French village of Cantigny in 1918—America's first major victory of the war. The 28th Infantry also fought valiantly in World War II, notably landing on Omaha Beach on D-Day and participating in the Battle of the Bulge. The unit has since served in conflicts including Vietnam, the Gulf War, and the Global War on Terror, upholding its proud legacy of service and sacrifice.
