In American military history, the 25th Infantry Division (nicknamed "Tropic Lightning" ) is a large military unit associated with operations in the Asia-Pacific region. In response to a request from the U.S. Military Assistance Command in Vietnam , the division sent 100 helicopter door-gunners to the Republic of South Vietnam in early 1963. During the Tet offensives of 1968 and 1969, Tropic Lightning soldiers were instrumental in defending the besieged city of Saigon . During the war in Vietnam , 22 Medals of Honor were awarded to Tropic Lightning soldiers. The 1st Infantry Division of the United States Army --nicknamed " The Big Red One " after its shoulder patch; and also nicknamed "The Fighting First"--is the oldest division in the United States Army, and has seen continuous service since its organization in 1917. The division fought in the Vietnam War from 1965 to 1970. In January 1970 it was announced that the division would return to Fort Riley. 11 members of the division were awarded the Medal of Honor. MOTTO "No Mission Too Difficult, No Sacrifice Too Great--Duty First".
