I spoke yesterday to the 30th Infantry Division Association at the invitation of Col. Wes Morrison, after a two year pandemic delay. It was wonderful to meet with the veterans, active duty soldiers, and their families and other invited guests, including a Gold Star family who just learned of their father’s association with the 30th, which, as you know, went on to save the train with their attached armored battalions.
I love the graphic above, designed for this 76th annual gathering. Yesterday they learned more about their legacy, and I’m sure it will inspire.
Teaching History Matters 
Thank you Matt for keeping these memories alive!
Interesting. We no longer receive communication from the 30th Division. I like the logo.
Hi Claudia,
I was invited by the CO. I need to join it, too, as I didn’t get the newsletters either. Here is a link if you are interested. https://30thinfantrydivision.weebly.com/membership.html
Mathew, I really enjoyed meeting you and your wife at the 30th INF DIV Association Reunion. Thank you for recognizing our Gold Star family-our relationship is very meaningful. As the daughter of an Old Hickory Veteran, A Train Near Magdeburg, introduced me to a very important chapter of the 30th. I loved reading your book and learning about the connections you created between the soldiers and the veterans in later years. Well done! Sarah Hardman Giachino
