During the week of Thanksgiving I traveled with my family to Fort Benning in Georgia. We went there to see my cousin, PFC Matthew “Matt” Medlin, graduate from basic training. He graduated from the 2nd Battalion, 47th Infantry Regiment. He was a member of the 3rd Platoon. The graduation brochure we received shows the 47th Infantry Regiment was organized in the beginning on June 1, 1917 in Syracuse, New York. It also shows that in the U.S. Army it is one of the most decorated units as it has received many commendations and citations throughout its history. This includes eight Presidential Unit Citations.
