| . Welcome ..... to the Tribute web site for the 24th Infantry Division, the Pride of the Pacific Theater. Their motto is, "First to Fight." An Act of Congress confirms this. They were first to take arms against Imperial Japanese forces, and they were first to engage the North Korean aggressor in 1950. They are the division Japanese Army General Yamashita said broke the back of the Japanese Army at Breakneck Ridge on Leyte, and they are the division the liberated people of the Philippines called, "Victory." 24th Division soldiers have always stood ready to defend freedom and the democratic way of life, anytime, anywhere, against all aggressors, whether in the jungles, through the snow, or on the sands in far off lands. They are fiercely Proud of their heritage, and when our nation calls upon them once again, they will be ready to be "First to Fight!!!" (N.E.Tredway) |
