Thousands of brave men served in the 29th Infantry Division of the United States Army, symbolized by the Blue of the North and the Gray of the South. Units that had served in the American Revolution from 1775 to 1781, in the War of 1812, and in the Civil War from 1861 to 1865 were united in defense of the United States of America and its Allies in World War I and World War II in the cause of freedom. The 29th Division Association and its Ladies Auxiliary dedicated this commemoration on September 1, 1974, marking the 30th anniversary of the division's spearhead role in the Normandy Invasion on June 6, 1944, its service in World War II, and the 57th anniversary of its service in World War I.
