The 7th Infantry Division is renowned for its involvement in the Pacific Ocean theater during World War II where it sustained significant losses while fighting against the Imperial Japanese Army in the Aleutian Islands, Leyte, and Okinawa. After the Japanese surrendered in 1945, the division was stationed in both Japan and Korea, and when the Korean War broke out in 1950, it was one of the first units sent into action. It played a crucial role in the Inchon Landings and led the advance north, but was nearly overwhelmed when Chinese forces launched a counter-attack. The division later participated in the fierce battles of Pork Chop Hill and Old Baldy.
