    Oklahoma National Guard

    Lt. Col. Luke Kimbrel, commander of the 1st Battalion, 279th Infantry Regiment, 45th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, and Chief Warrant Officer 5 Greg Kratochwill, command chief warrant officer for the Oklahoma National Guard, survey a hillside near Oliveto, Italy, on May 6, 2025, where in 1943 2nd Lt. Ernest Childers led an assault against German troops that would result in him being presented with the Medal of Honor for his valorous actions. The hill, now called Heroes’ Hill by locals, is one the many sites Oklahoma National Guard leadership is evaluating for possible monuments and memorials commemorating the 45th Infantry Division’s World War II service.
