The 7th Infantry's motto, "Willing and Able," speaks volumes about its past. Throughout America's history, the soldiers of this regiment have proven, through their sacrifice, their bloodshed and their sweat, that they are willing and able to fight America's wars. At practically ever crucial moment, the 7th has been there, shaping the future of the country and, by extension, the world. Acclaimed historian John C. McManus takes readers through the amazing story of this ever-present regiment in modern warfare, from Korea to its current toils in the Middle East. McManus tells the tale of those ordinary infantrymen who have always made up the 7th. These soldiers have always been, and probably always will be, the heart and soul of the United States Army. The 7th is a vital part of America's military tradition, and McManus tells its story complete with the struggle, anguish, fear, sacrifice, triumph, and pride of its soldiers. McManus provides a compelling glimpse of not only the infantryman's journey through American history, but the shaping of our nation as a whole.… (plus d'informations)

I am the Infantry -- Queen of Battle!
For two centuries I have kept our Nation safe,

Where the fighting is thick, there am I . . .
I am the Infantry!
FOLLOW ME!
From the Credo of the Infantry Branch, United States Army Infantry Center, Fort Benning, Georgia

Somewhere up ahead, through shimmering, languid waves of Euphrates heat, battle waited -- palpably, inexorably, perhaps even inevitably.

Their performance, and that of everyone else, was yet another example of the triumph of professionalism and the high quality of the American infantry soldier in the modern era.
