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.

The 11B10 Infantryman is the U.S. Army's primary enlisted infantry designation, tracing its roots back to the Army's adoption of the Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) system in the 1950s. Throughout the Vietnam War, 11B10 Infantrymen formed the backbone of U.S. ground combat forces, known for their versatility in patrolling, ambushes, and direct combat. Over the decades, the role evolved with advancements in weaponry and tactics, but the 11B10 continued to serve on the front lines in conflicts such as Operation Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Enduring Freedom. Today, the 11B Infantryman remains the Army’s quintessential ground combat soldier, embodying the motto "Follow Me" as the heart of the Army's fighting force.
