FORT DRUM, New York (WWNY) – Friday marked the 80th birthday of Fort Drum’s 10th Mountain Division.
There was a cake-cutting ceremony.
Those who attended had a slice of chocolate cake adorned with a depiction of a World War II-era division soldier assisting a modern division soldier.
The division got its start back in 1943 as a unit focusing primarily on winter and mountain warfare – hence this year’s birthday slogan “Alpine 80.”
