Former U.S. Senator and U.S. Ambassador to New Zealand Carol Moseley Braun speaks about the Illinois National Guard's storied 8th Infantry Regiment during the re-dedication ceremony for the Victory Monument honoring the 8th Infantry's service during World War I. The 8th Infantry, which was re-designated the 370th Infantry during World War I, served under the French because of institutional racism in the U.S. Army at that time. The Soldiers of the unit were awarded 71 Croix De Guerre for Gallantry in Action and 21 Distinguished Service Crosses for extraordinary heroism during the "Great War."
