Do you think it is important for soldiers to know their unit history?

I do believe it is, but as often as units get re-organized, it can be hard to have a sense of unit identity sometimes. I enlisted to the 951 En Co. Prior to that it had been C Co, 724th En Bn. Come this year and another re-org we'll be A Co, 173rd BEB. Not only do company and battalion change, this will be the 3rd brigade in under 15 years. Very shortly we will be under the 32nd BCT, a unit which has a rich history. I intend to focus on that history with new soldiers who come to the unit.
