Honoring the Warriors of our Regiment
The 4th Infantry Regiment is recognized as one of the most decorated Regiments in the United States Army as well as one of the oldest Regiments in the United States Army, serving this Nation for over 200 years. Originally organized in 1796, from the 4th Sub-Legion, this Regiment contribute to the shaping of this Nation through enabling its military forces in securing its borders and interests throughout the nation and worldwide.
The Battalions of the Regiment continues this mission today from different posts one at the Joint Military Readiness Center (JMRC) in Germany and the other in Fort Johnson, LA.
Monument Foundation Mission
The mission of the Monument Foundation is to recognize the contributions of the 4th Infantry Regiment and it unique role in our Nation’s history. The foundation was established to pay tribute to past, present, and future members of by a monument to the United States Army.
The monument will be located at the National Infantry Museum, Fort Moore, Georgia and will serve as a lasting symbol honoring the Regiment’s important role in our Nation’s military history.
This Regiment has given so much to this country its time to honor them with a bigger than life monument designed as a dramatic” thank you” for their selfless service.
The goal of the fundraiser is $24,000.00. This goal can only be met by each and every Warrior taking some ownership in the future memorial by contributing. Regardless of the amount, each contribution gets us one step closer.
WHY NOW
It’s a shame that a monument has not been erected sooner. The 4th Infantry has increased visibility since the Global War on Terrorism. And, now contributions are needed to ensure the imminent monument completion.
FUNDRAISER 2020-2021
In partnership with Ryan Thompson and the 10th Mountain Whiskey and Spirits Company in Vail Colorado, we were proud to partner with this great organization for the Memorials Program and selling limited Edition Cask Strength 4th Infantry Rye.
Infantry Barrel Selection – Cask Strength, Single Barrel, Limited Edition
Only 186 Task Force Warrior bottles were created to commemorate the 4th Infantry Regiment.
In 2020, LTC(R) Frank Sturek received 6 different samples of 10th Mountain Rye whiskey. He tasted them not knowing their age nor proof. Sample #4 is LTC(R) Sturek’s favorite and is a cask strength 10th Mountain Rye Whiskey presented at 125 proof in 750ml bottles.
Distilled and aged in Colorado for 2 years in American new Oak cask, this special selection was created to raise money for the 4th Infantry Regiment Memorial that will be displayed at the National Infantry Museum in Columbus, GA.
These bottles proudly displayed the 4th Infantry’s Distinguished Unit Insignia which is a scarlet rectangle outlined in gold and has a green stripe centered horizontally.
Symbolism of the Insignia: Subsequent to the Mexican War and until the blue uniform was abolished, the Band of the Fourth Infantry was authorized to wear a scarlet piping on the chevrons and trouser stripes in commemoration of the Regiment’s distinguished service in the battle of Monterey in turning a captured battery of artillery against the enemy. The scarlet perpetuates this distinguished service of an element of the Regiment. Green is the predominating color of the coat of arms of the Regiment; it also symbolizes the service of the Fourth Infantry in the Mexican War.
Proceeds from the sale of these bottles were donated to the 4th Infantry Regiment Veteran’s Association to support the Memorial that is displayed at the Walk of Honor, National Infantry Museum, Fort Moore, GA.
10th Mountain Whiskey and Spirit Company is honored to have been able to assist in this project.
