Dedicated to the men of the 83rd Infantry Division who fought and died for the freedom that we enjoy today.

"...To those of you who fought in Normandy, Brittany, the Loire Valley, Luxembourg, the Hurtgen Forest, the Ardennes, and during the drives to the Rhine and over the Elbe, there is no need to relive the experiences encountered or to remind you of the inspiration set forth to us by those of our comrades who were killed or wounded.   For it is you who made this history, you who performed the heroic deeds..."

Robert C. Macon, Major General
