Memories For This Unit

Chain of Command
Served as Commanding Officer, 317th Infantry Regiment, 80th Infantry Division in England (July-August 1944) and then in Mainland Europe

Other Memories
After two years of hard training, COL Kennedy's 317th Infantry Regiment and the rest of the 80th Infantry Division finally entered combat at the beginning of August 1944. The unit became a spearhead of Patton's Third Army in its dash across France. It engaged in heavy combat for the next several months and was instrumental in relieving Bastogne during the Ardennes Offensive, better known as the Battle of the Bulge.
