This past Sunday, Soldiers of the Fort Belvoir-based 29th Infantry Division said goodbye to Lt. Col. Susan Lyon during a retirement ceremony that culminated her 25-year career in the United States Army.

Lyon was most recently the Chief of Information for the Division and deployed with the unit to Southwest Asia in support of Task Force Spartan.

As the Chief of Information, she led the synchronization efforts in information-related capabilities, which brought together the 29th ID’s multitudes of missions, including cyber, electronic warfare, psychological operations, military deception, civil affairs, public affairs, and operations security, thereby streamlining critical information-related functions at all levels. Her leadership played a critical role in the unit’s success in multiple training exercises with partner nations, key-leader engagements, coalition-building, and the Afghan Evacuation Mission.

Lt. Col. Lyon – thank you for serving our nation with honor and distinction. The military is better – and America and its partners safer – for your service. We will miss you and wish you all the best!

06/11/2022

When 29th Infantry Division Soldiers attend monthly drills, there are a variety of tasks and training that aim at preparing them to be fit, ready and disciplined Soldiers who are ready to support their communities and nation.

This weekend, for example, in concert with Veterans and Military Families Month, Fort Belvoir-based 29th ID Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion (HHBN) Soldiers received Family Readiness and Programs briefs that aimed at enhancing their and their loved ones’ quality-of-life through a litany of programs and services. Ensuring Soldiers and their families have the resources they need in their everyday lives, on drill weekends, during training exercises and deployments; will help strengthen Soldiers’ ability to support their local communities, and to fight and win our nation’s wars.

The first group of Virginia National Guard Soldiers assigned to Task Force Red Dragon returns to the United States Sept. 12, 2022, after serving on federal active duty since November 2021. More than 1,000 Virginia and Kentucky National Guard troops under the command of the Lynchburg-based 1st Battalion, 116th Infantry Regiment, 116th Infantry Brigade Combat Team conducted security operations throughout the Horn of Africa. Task Force Red Dragon also provided the East Africa Response Force in support of the U.S. government for crisis response throughout East Africa. A transfer of authority ceremony with the New York Army National Guard’s 1st Battalion, 69th Infantry Regiment is scheduled for later this month. The Soldiers will return to Virginia after completing administrative tasks to begin transitioning them back to a traditional National Guard status, but an exact date for their return has not been finalized.

I’m asking for your help. I am doing some research about the men and women buried in the Normandy American Cemetery and the heroic actions of the 3 Medal of Honor recipients there - TSGT Frank D. Peregory of the 29th ID is one of them. And, there is my problem – is his surname spelled Peregory or is it Peregoy? It seems Peregory is the most often used spelling (and is on his tombstone in Normandy) but some researchers claim his name was misspelled upon his enlistment way back in the early 1930s. Can you please tell me what is the most correct spelling? Thanks in advance.
My Dad’s Gravestone is absolutely perfectly beautiful! ♥️

Been looking for months on Dad's computer finally found it!
Our family welcomes all the prayers and support we can get for our beloved Ubert “Mac” McConnell. He fell and broke his hip last night unfortunately and we are all praying hard for his recovery. He’s set to turn 102 years old in less than two weeks and landed with co. K/29th Infantry Division on Omaha Beach.
This picture was with my father's belongings and someone may recognize either of the young soldiers. On the back of the pic dad had written Camp Wheeler , Georgia. Dad was stationed here around 1943 before heading to England and onto Omaha Beach on D Day. My father was in the 29th Div, 175 Infantry and 115 Cannon Co. The soldiers looked so happy in the moment that I love the pic and assume they were dad's friends. My father was lucky enough to return home although injured and my hope is that these men were as lucky.
My grandfathers
Sgt. John Taylor Blacknall died June 6th, 1944 on Omaha beach. He was a member of the 116th infantry, 29th inf. div. Our VFW Post (Veterans of Foreign Wars), Blacknall-Chess Post 4639, 106 Jesters Ln. Williamsburg, VA would be proud to have all eligible members of the 29th join our post to continue to honor Sgt. Blacknall. The post is open Friday nights from approx. 1700 hrs and bar and dinner is available. Find us on facebook: Vfw Williamsburg Post
Hello, I am hoping you can help me!

My grandfather, PFC: William Macuga was part of the 115th Regiment, C company, in the 29th Division. Also on the Honorable Discharge Separation papers was when he joined the army (March 24, 1943) and reported to base a week later for training (3/31). Also, he didn’t depart for overseas until June 7, 1944 and didn’t land in Normandy until June 19. He always said he would have been there for the invasion but was held back because one man in his barracks had the measles and they were put under quarantine so it wouldn’t spread to more troops!

BUT...Pictures of him before he left for battle show him with a 75th Regiment patch. I looked it up and found the Wikipedia’s page that corresponded (75th Innovation command) and took from it that they were reserves? This regiment he had a patch for did go on to fight overseas, but not until November and had a completely different mission.

So my question is, when/why was he reassigned to the 29th Division? I know that D-Day brought enormous casualties, but his measles story leads me to believe he would have been part of the 115th Regiment for the invasion. There is no date I can find but I believe it was decided pre D-Day that he would be fighting in the 29th, but I’m not completely certain. And also would be cool if anyone else heard of the measles thing happening but that’s a bit harder to confirm. I believe my grandfather though!

I have more information about him but don’t want the post to be any longer! Wish I could ask him myself but he passed away in 2004 before I could really question him, although he never talked much about his time in WWII.

Thanks for any help!
Thank you for all of your service. I am trying to find out if your unit is set to deploy in the next few days?
My Great-Grandfather PFC Stephen Blakley: Company H, 115th Infantry Regiment, 29th Infantry Division. From Brooklyn NY. Inctd Maspeth, NY on May 2/18. Served overseas from June 15, 1918 to May 24, 1919.
Where can you look up personnel records from the WWII era?My late Uncle was at Normandy but never talked about it.
