Serve The Defender. Landstuhl. 2001 – 2004.
When the nation answered the call after September 11th, the 349th Combat Support Hospital was there — deployed to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany under Operation Noble Eagle, caring for the wounded defenders of a nation at war. This premium 15oz black ceramic mug honors the soldiers and medical professionals who lived the unit's motto — "Serve The Defender" — from 2001 to 2004.
The Hospital Behind the Front Lines.
Landstuhl Regional Medical Center was the first stop for America's most critically wounded warriors coming out of Afghanistan and Iraq. The 349th CSH, headquartered at Bell, California and part of the 807th Medical Command (Deployment Support), brought its Army Reserve medical expertise to one of the most demanding and consequential medical missions in modern American military history. Their service ribbons tell the story of a deployment that mattered.
