    3rd Infantry Division

    A wreath donated by the Outpost 5845, International Outpost of the Society of the 3rd Infantry Division in honor of the 104th anniversary of the 3rd Infantry Division’s stand on the Marne River, is displayed in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Virginia, July 15, 2022. During World War I, the division earned the name “Rock of the Marne” during the Second Battle of the Marne at the Marne River near Chateau-Thierry, France, July 15, 1918. This was the last major German offensive of the war. The Germans planned to march up the Marne River and carry on to Paris but failed when they met 3rd ID. When the German units retreated and the French Allies pulled back their troops, the then Commanding General of the 3rd ID, Maj. Gen. Joseph Dickman, told the French Allies “Nous resterons la,” translated to English, this means “We will stay here.” The 3rd ID’s heroism during this battle was a turning point in the war.
