2nd Brigade
Vietnam 1967 - 1968
In December 1967, the 2nd Brigade deployed to Vietnam. Over the next five years,
the Brigade participated in twelve campaigns.

The President of Vietnam personally decorated the colors of the Brigade three
times, twice with the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry, and once with the Republic
Viet Nam Civic Action Honor Medal.

The Brigade returned to Fort Campbell in April, 1972.
