message: Regrettably, Private Eddie Slovik, the only U.S. soldier executed for desertion during World War II, was a member of the 28th Division.
Regrettably? Gee, no point of view there, eh?
::It's regrettable in the sense that when you are proud of your late father who served in 28th ID/109th Regiment and you tell people ::about his service, the first thing that comes out of their mouths is, "Wasn't that Eddie Slovik guy in that outfit?"; or "Did he know ::Eddie Slovik?"  All because Martin Sheen played Slovik in a TV docudrama in the 1970s.  It taints the memories of a military unit was ::the first to cross into nazi Germany during World War II.  Yeah, it is regrettable, dude.  johncheverly 03:59, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

55th Heavy Brigade Combat Team
USA / Pennsylvania / Scranton / Adams Avenue, Scranton, Pennsylvania 18510-1004,
 
55th Brigade (Mechanized) - "STRIKE BRIGADE"
also HQ for the following component units :
1-109th Infantry >(Scranton),
55th Brigade Special Troops Battalion
The 55th Brigade, with a strength of about 3,600 soldiers, is headquartered in Scranton. The Brigade's units are concentrated in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Appropriately, the soldiers of the 109th Infantry Regiment, the element from which the 55th was born, earned the nickname "Men of Iron" for their three-day defense against overwhelming odds during the Champagne-Marne Offensive in World War I. 
In 2003-04, the 55th Brigade led "Taskforce Keystone," a major deployment of about 2,000 soldiers of the 28th Infantry Division to Europe to provide force protection and enhanced security in the wake of the September 11, 2001terrorist attacks. While Task Force Keystone was on duty, another 1,100 soldiers from the 28th Division served as the core of the American peacekeeping presence in Bosnia.

Why is it missing???http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/agency/army/1-109fa.htm "In 1942, the unit entered World War Two as the 109th Field Artillery Battalion. The unit served in Europe from France to Germany. During the Battle of the Bulge, the battalion fought valiantly to halt the German Ardennes Offensive. Once its guns were destroyed, the 109th fought as infantry, often in vicious hand-to-hand combat. For its valor, the battalion was awarded a Presidential Unit Citation, the highest decoration a unit can receive.". (August 2013)
