179th Infantry Regiment — Tomahawks | National Guard U.S. | Cold War Service | 15oz Black Ceramic Mug
Tomahawks. Cold War Ready. The Vigil That Kept the Peace.
This premium 15oz black ceramic mug honors the soldiers of the 179th Infantry Regiment — the Tomahawks who served in the National Guard of the United States (NGUS) during the Cold War — featuring the Cold War Service ribbon earned by the citizen-soldiers who stood ready during one of the most consequential periods in American military history.
The Cold War Service ribbon represents decades of vigilance — the training cycles, the readiness exercises, the mobilizations, and the quiet commitment of National Guard soldiers who balanced civilian careers with the demands of military service, always prepared to answer the nation’s call. For the soldiers of the 179th Infantry “Tomahawks,” part of the 45th Infantry Brigade Combat Team — the Thunderbirds of the Oklahoma Army National Guard, that Cold War service was a continuation of a combat legacy stretching from World War II through Korea.
The Cold War may not have produced the battlefield headlines of other conflicts, but the soldiers who served during it kept the peace through strength — and that service deserves to be honored. This mug is a tribute to every Tomahawk who stood the watch during the Cold War era.
