Certainly! However, your request "65th & 11t" is a bit unclear—are you referring to the 65th Infantry Regiment and the 11th Infantry Regiment, or do you mean another specific unit designation? I’ll provide a brief history for both the 65th Infantry Regiment and the 11th Infantry Regiment of the United States Army: **65th Infantry Regiment:** The 65th Infantry Regiment, known as "The Borinqueneers," was created in 1899 and is renowned for its service as a segregated Puerto Rican unit. The regiment distinguished itself in World War I, World War II, and especially during the Korean War, where it earned a Presidential Unit Citation for extraordinary heroism. Throughout its history, the 65th showcased the bravery and dedication of Puerto Rican soldiers, overcoming adversity and discrimination. In 2014, the unit was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for its distinguished service. **11th Infantry Regiment:** The 11th Infantry Regiment was constituted in 1798 and has a long and storied history in the U.S. Army. It saw significant action in the Civil War, fighting in major battles such as Gettysburg and Antietam, and later served in the Indian Wars, the Spanish-American War, and both World Wars. The unit is known for its adaptability and valor, serving as both a training and frontline combat unit over the years. Today, the 11th Infantry Regiment is primarily tasked with training officer candidates at Fort Moore, Georgia. If you meant a different unit, please clarify, and I’ll be happy to provide a tailored history!
