369 Medical Battalion (U.S. Army) Frosted Pint Glass 16oz

The 369th Medical Battalion is a United States Army medical unit established as part of the segregated 369th Infantry Regiment, also known as the "Harlem Hellfighters," during World War I. Originally formed in 1917, it served in combat from 1918 and was one of the first African American units to see action on the Western Front. The battalion played a significant role in various engagements, including the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, and was decorated for its valor with the Croix de Guerre. Post-World War I, the 369th Infantry Regiment was demobilized, but the medical battalion continued to serve as a separate entity within the U.S. Army. Today, it is part of the U.S. Army Medical Command and provides specialized medical support in various missions around the world. The unit's history and legacy continue to commemorate its brave soldiers who served with distinction during World War I and beyond.
