22ND INFANTRY REGIMENT PAVER PROJECT
The National Infantry Museum at Fort Benning, Georgia has initiated a program to allow for individuals and organizations to purchase memorial pavers along the Heritage Walkway at the Museum. That Walkway leads to our 22nd Infantry Regiment Monument on the Walk of Honor at the National Infantry Museum. The pavers can be purchased to memorialize the service of a veteran or to honor the memory of a fallen soldier.
Click on the following link to go to a PDF file containing the printable order form for pavers.
Gentlemen, from a former ARMY soldier, I would like to thank you all for your service.
Also, in light of today's historic moment in U.S. military history, I'd like to remember another member of 2-22 from WWII.
Thanks again for your service guys.

I am a teacher in Somerville, Tennessee, and my students are reading a novel about the Vietnam War and creating projects to honor fallen soldiers. One of students will honor Thomas Beeb Chambers. If you served with "Beeb" in the winter of '67, would you
connect with me to discuss serving with him.

I have the story of that battle in Dec 23-24th 1944, near Osweiler….I dedicate this in remembrance to those Soldiers who fought there, with my Father,"Tuck" who was the last BAR man after the battle...and to you. Another Soldier, SGM Fowle (who has passed on) told me he loved this poem...So I am presenting it, now.

A Christmas story told to me.
Southern Tip of the Bulge in Dec 23, 44….
It was the night before Christmas in forty-four
A snowing and blowin, what could be more
George and Easy locked in the fight,
, in wooded ravines against the German might.
Three companies, in the snow ; no where to go
to hold their ground , is all they were told.
Fox was in position and got to high ground, above a gorge
to cover the flank of Easy and George.
amidst snow covered boulders, and downed trees they fought.;
The enemy tried to break through, but not on that slope.
Not one, Triple Deucer let them get past; _
even with multiple counter attacks’ they still held fast ..
.There was fewer than before, but they would fight to the last.
Against immeasurable odds, the three companies fought on_ but they might not last ; until the dawn...
The SS attack penetrated their lines;
Company F was caste into peril that time..!.
Hit with five companies, all through the night…
An SS unit came in for the fight.They struggled and fought’; yes, on deaths ground; sixty men fought ~
The CO., he shouted," Every man to himself!"
The situation deemed hopeless, to hold, that cold dark night.
But that didn't stop the Deucers’ that night. It seems the CO’s shout. - It transformed the fight... , galvanizing their strength and their spirit to boot; No Germans would claim their place there, that night.
Fox out-fought them until morning light__
It was their hill, and they claimed it !
With the blood of their fellows, that cold bitter night!
Whoever could claim a spot where they fought__ that night?
Only they' who lay cold- under a blanket of snow.
Easy and George fought the same kind of fight .... giving up no ground to the Kraut that night....
The Deucers survived that cold steel fight, and Germans pulled back, with eighty less men_
The German had failed, to take Luxemburg City __’ and now they were broken, and it was a pity; That so many lives were lost in the War, for the hopes of a dictator __to conquer all.
The fellows of Fox were twenty-eight men,. With their brothers in arms;
They paid a high price; they did it for us, for the good of us all.
A high price for freedom, they paid.... for us all.
