Christopher Eason, chief of staff, Oklahoma Air National Guard, walk through the Sicily-Rome American Cemetery and Memorial in Nettuno, Italy, Sept. 11, 2025. A delegation of Oklahoma National Guard members and veterans toured key locations from the 45th Infantry Division’s campaign in Italy against German forces during World War II, continuing the development of the Thunderbird Trail. The initiative is aimed at preserving the Division's role in World War II through a memorial trail tracing its footsteps through Italy, France and Germany, ensuring their sacrifices are never forgotten.
