    Maj. Gen. Sean C. Bernabe, Commanding General, Command Sgt. Maj. Michael C. Williams, Senior Enlisted Leader, and Chaplain (Capt.) Patrick G. Stefan, Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion, 1st Armored Division, salute the National Anthem during a special wreath laying ceremony to commemorate 1AD's annual Torch Week Nov. 5. OPERATION TORCH was the first armored contact of World War II, beginning in Algeria before pushing Axis forces into Italy and, ultimately, defeating enemy forces. This operation was the first battle test of America's Armored Corps, and led to 1AD's moniker as "America's Tank Division". This year's celebration of Torch Week was filled with educational presentations and historical leader professional development sessions aimed at educating all Iron Soldiers on the division's storied legacy.
