Three members of the original 30th Infantry Division, (from left to right) Edward Middleton of the 730th Ordinance Company, Roger Casey of the 119th Infantry Regiment and Jack Kraus of the 119th Infantry Regiment, observe the new 30th ID and 30th Armored Brigade Combat Team monument at the National Infantry Museum Walk of Honor at Fort Benning, June 2, 2013. Soldiers from World War II and the modern day 30th ABCT took part in the ceremony that honored the unit for their service from past to present. The 30th ID was known as the “Workhorse of the Western Front,” and was most noted for breaching the famed Siegfried Line, which led to the capture of the first German city of Aachen in 1944. For their outstanding drive and sacrifice, the 30th earned six Congressional Medals of Honor. (U.S. Army National Guard Photo by Army 1st Lt.
