This day 108 years ago the U.S. Army First Division had an overwhelming victory against the German forces at Cantigny. After an hour of bombardment, French tanks followed by the First Division and French flamethrowers would assault the village. The whole battle lasted thirty minutes. They would capture 250 Germans and hold the town against six German attacks over the next three days earning the First Division the nickname "The Lions of Cantigny."

This Memorial Day, we are honoring the memory of SGT Joseph A. Rahaim, who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving his country in Iraq in 2005.

To keep his legacy alive, his brother-in-arms SSG Phillip Evans joined us on the Warriors and Rodeo podcast. SSG Evans shares powerful, firsthand memories of serving alongside SGT Rahaim during their regular active-duty Army days at Fort Hood.

True military brotherhood never ends. Tune in to this special episode as we remember a fallen hero, a dedicated soldier, and a friend who is deeply missed.
