28TH INFANTRY DIVISION

The 28th Infantry Division is America's Oldest Army Division. Officially established March 12, 1879, elements of the 28th Infantry Division can trace their histories back to 1747, when Benjamin Franklin organized his battalion of Associators in Philadelphia. Other units of the 28th Infantry Division had their beginnings in the Revolutionary War to include Troop A, First Squadron, 104th Cavalry (organized on November 17, 1774) and the 109th Artillery Regiment (formed on October 17,1775) as the 24th Connecticut Militia. These Units were part of George Washington's Continental Army... Some of the goals of the 28th Infantry Division are to foster camaraderie with all active Soldiers and veterans of the 28th Infantry Division, to support memorials honoring the 28th Infantry Division and assist in their maintenance and to educate the public on the historical and current roles of the 28th Infantry Division Soldiers.
