![]() ![]() How good was the 30th Infantry Division during the 1944-45 European Campaign? Colonel S.L.A. With the exception of some senior officers and non-commissioned officers, the 30th ID was an all National Guard force with soldiers from North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia. Today there are roughly 500 soldiers/veterans still alive who were members of one of World War II’s greatest infantry divisions, the 30th Infantry Division. Winston Churchill while praising the British Air Force during the Battle of Britain said, “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.” With less than one percent of the American population having served in the military, it can also be said that our nation's veterans, who are so few in numbers are also owed a debt of gratitude by the many, especially on Veterans Day. On this Veterans Day, like in the past, our nation asks her citizens to take time out of their day to honor, thank, spend some time with and sincerely recognize the service and sacrifice of our military veterans.
