.. that Saddam Hussein International Airport was taken by the 7th United States Infantry. Another battle streamer for the most decorated unit in the US Army. (Our first streamer reads "New Orleans - 1815")

BTW, I've always wanted to ask, what is the derivation of the designation "Infantry"? The closest thing I could come up with was that it might have originated with the French expression "mes enfants" ("my children", or "my sons"), which would be pretty ironic, considering French military history.
