Happy birthday to the 7th Infantry Division!

The 7th Infantry Division was first activated on December 6, 1917 and organized on January 1, 1918 at Camp Wheeler, Georgia. It was designated to serve in the Regular Army to build combat power for World War I. Although elements of the division saw brief active service in World War I, it is best known for its participation in the Pacific Ocean theater of World War II and the Korean War.

The 7ID patch, originated from the use of two inverted and upright sevens to create an hourglass. As a result, the division was known as the “Hourglass Division.” A Bayonet, added as a result of the Division’s participation in the Korean War, led to the Division to be known as it is today, the “Bayonet Division”.

Currently headquartered at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington State, the 7th Infantry Division features two of the Army's newest battlefield capabilities, the Multi Domain Task Force and the Intelligence, Information, Cyber, Electronic Warfare and Space Capabilities, (I2CEWS) Battalion.

7th Infantry Division motto: Trust in me

"The power of a dream. What power does, can a dream hold over us?

To me it is about hope that when your cause is just and morally pure the desired goal can and will be achieved.

I believe Martin Luther King gave to the world a shining example of moral character and conviction that was needed to obtain the right to vote for Black Americans." - Master Sgt. Dushant Smith, ADAGC Flight OPS/FUOPS NCOIC

"Martin Luther King, Jr. Day celebrates the life, legacy and dream of a man who sowed the seeds of hope and healing in America. It’s a day of in*******al and intercultural cooperation and sharing amongst people all over the world.

MLK Jr. and his family endured harassment, threats, beatings, and even bombings. He knew he would pay the ultimate price, but even in the face of adversity he continued pushing towards his goal of equality by peacefully marching, protesting, and organizing. He believed all people regardless of their race, political standing, and economic situation should be treated with the upmost respect and dignity.

MLK Jr. was the embodiment of the Army Values. We all populate the same planet and should all coexist in perfect harmony. There should be unity in every community!" - Staff Sgt. Darvin C. Springfield, S1, DEMOB NCOIC

In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, we asked some of our 644th Regional Support Group, Mobilization and Deployment, DPTMS members for their thoughts.

"Martin Luther King was best known for his speech; “I Have a Dream”. For me it’s more than that. I’ve learned more from his actions in the face of adversity. To be able to react to prejudice with kindness, and peace. By not allowing those who pre-judge you negatively, to change your character to fit their opinion of you.

Martin Luther King’s ideals, are a life-style. Smiling in the face of adversity and staying true to who you are, no matter what anyone thinks of you.

Living by his ideals is a discipline that requires consistency. By no means is it easy, but it has increased my quality of life. So for that I am grateful for Dr. King." - Cpl. Gregory D. Allen, CONUS Medical LNO

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, observed on the third Monday of January each year, marks the birthday of the civil rights leader and activist.
In 1994, Congress designated Martin Luther King, Jr. Day as a national day of service. The theme of the day, “A Day On, Not a Day Off,” encourages individuals to dedicate the day to community service in remembrance of Dr. King’s remarkable legacy and to commit ourselves to instilling his principles of unity and equity throughout the world.

"Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’" - Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
