Cottonbalers. 7th Infantry Regiment. More Campaigns Than Any Infantry Regiment in the US Army.
Two hundred years. Twelve wars. Seventy-eight campaign streamers. More campaigns than any other infantry regiment in the United States Army. This premium 15oz white ceramic mug honors the 7th Infantry Regiment "Cottonbalers" with the branch insignia and service ribbon — a tribute to a regiment whose record of service is unmatched in American infantry history.
From the Battle of New Orleans to the Modern Battlefield.
The 7th Infantry Regiment earned its "Cottonbalers" nickname at the Battle of New Orleans in 1815, where its soldiers used cotton bales as battlefield fortifications against the British. In the two centuries since, the regiment has served in every major American conflict — the Mexican-American War, the Civil War, the Indian Wars, the Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, Iraq, and Afghanistan — accumulating 78 campaign streamers and 14 unit decorations along the way. No infantry regiment in the US Army has served in more campaigns. The branch insignia and service ribbon on this mug represent every one of those campaigns.
