This is a collection of photos of the 10th Mountain Division during their fight in Italy, and during various reunions in recent years. The photos are set to the music and song “American Anthem” sung by Norah Jones. This video was produced by 10th Mountain Descendant President Val Rios for the benefit of the 10th Mountain Division veterans, their families and friends.
Veterans and descendants were asked to submit pictures and a brief biography of 10th Mountain Division soldiers. It is though the generous support of veterans and descendants that we can now offer this revised 2013 Tribute Book.
