Invitation To LTC Rick Noriega's Change Of Command Ceremony

Click on the invite to make it bigger. Noriega is the incoming Commander of the 1st Battalion, 141st Infantry Regiment. The public is invited to the ceremony at the Alamo on August 4th. This battalion can trace its history back to the Republic of Texas. Some of that history can be found here.

The history link omitted one very small fact about the WWII "Lost Battalion", entry.

They were rescued by an all Japanese unit made up mostly of second generation(Nisei) Americans.

These were Americans who, until they entered the service, were held in concentration camps by the United States.
