On top of his day to day duties, Army Spc. Christian Dale Wilson designed and constructed a monument for the battalion that was unveiled Oct. 6, 2011.

Spc. Wilson presented the monument to the Battalion Commander Lt. Col. Troy Soukup, and the Battalion Command Sgt. Maj. Command Sgt. Maj. Joseph Eustice. Spc. Wilson then described his creation for the commander, the command sergeant major, and the HHB soldiers.

He chose the words “the famous” because the Red Bulls are known throughout the military world for the longest deployments of both World War II and Operation Iraqi Freedom. The word “faithful” is the motto of the 1-125 FA.
The red background of Lt. Col. Soukup's nameplate represents the color of the field artillery. The black background of Command Sgt. Maj. Eustice's nameplate represents a solid foundation for the battalion.
