U.S. Army 1st Lt. Austin Vaughn, assigned to the 1st Armored Division, discusses how meaningful it was to take part in the memorial during a visit to the Sicily‑Rome American Cemetery and Memorial in Anzio, Rome, May 20, 2026. The 2026 Iron Heroes Anzio Memorial visit fostered esprit de corps and strengthened unit pride through direct engagement with the division’s history, as today’s Iron Heroes honored the Soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice during the Allied push to Rome in World War II.
