Welcome to the 1st Battalion,

75th Ranger Regiment Memorial!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rangers lead the way! 

 

They are the best of the best, confident, strong, leaders that are able to make quick decisions in intense situations.  They are brave and they pay the price for others freedoms because it is who they are.  Rangers never forget their fallen comrades. 

In 2002, the 75th Ranger Memorial Board was founded to establish a fitting Memorial to the Rangers of 1/75 who died in combat or training since the Battalion's reactivation at Fort Stewart/ Hunter Army Airfield in 1974.  The past five years of diligence, hard work and planning have paid off.  The groundbreaking ceremony took place on 5 March 2007, and the formal dedication is slated for 18 October at 3 p.m. at the Memorial site.

The support for the 1/75th Ranger Memorial not only comes from fellow Rangers and their loved ones, but from businesses and the Coastal Empire community. 

1/75 Memorial Board members are:

Dave Ermer-President Richard Eckburg-Vice President
Joe Dobransky Danny Stanley
John Courter Rich Ginder
Mike Kistler Billy Tyson
Fred Hughes Howard Small
Mark Milboer John Oldfield
Chris Kettles George Summerell
Randy Bottner Richard Moore
  Shelia Dudley-Project Manager

 Paula Wallace, Pam Rhame, Professor Ian Stewart and all the Graphics Design Students were instrumental in the success of the Memorial.  It could not have been accomplished without their support.  Thank you and congratulations on your 30th year SCAD!
