What is an Infantryman? For two centuries he has been in the
bulwark of our country's defense. From the hardships at
Valley Forge, to the 38th Parallel of Korea, the Infantryman
has been a fighter--a frontrunner--a man of courage unafraid
to meet the enemy head-on, face-to-face in hand to hand
combat.
At the Infantry School at Fort Benning, Georgia, the
Infantryman is trained to be resourceful, aggressive and
self-reliant. In this issue of THE BIG PICTURE television series (1950-1975)
, viewers will get a penetrating look at the making of an
Infantryman as he learns what it takes to earn the right to
that proud battle cry... I Am The Infantry! Follow Me!
