2nd/8th Photo Gallery

I will always be proud to have served with the men of the 2nd of the 8th. Fighting for their country in a cause they knew to be lost, abandoned to their fate, they comported themselves with grace, dignity, valor, and distinction. They fit the motto of the Ivy Division. They were steadfast and loyal. Those of us fortunate enough to have lived, should live for those who died.-JMF

These pictures of the 2nd/8th Inf. Regiment, 4th infantry Division, taken in 1969-1970 were sent to me by members of the unit. Thanks to all that have contributed. I didn't have space for everything you sent.
