The
7th Infantry Division Association was organized in San Francisco in
1946, by veterans
of the Division and, for 75 years, supported all units
associated with the 7th Infantry Division.
The
Association began as a small organization of veterans going through
a few iterations
over
the years and ultimtely reached 1,227 dues-paying
members in good
standing in 1998.
However, with the passage of time,
the 7th IDA's membership
declined due to advancing age
of its members
-- a few World War II
veterans, mostly Korean War veterans, and a few
Vietnam-era veterans who served
in Korea. This led, inevitably, to the
"casing of the colors" on
June
30, 2021.
The
Association's web site will remain active until November 30, 2024.

For the member's information, our remaining funds were distributed to
two charities in accordance with Article XIII of the Constitution. The
Board determined that The Wounded Warrior Project received
$3,600.00+ and the Museum of the United States Army received
$3,600.00+.
