The U.S. 99th Infantry Division is a military formation that serves under the United States Army. It was activated on March 15, 1941, during World War II, and has since been involved in several major conflicts, including the D-Day Invasion, the Battle of the Bulge, and the liberation of Belgium and the Netherlands. The division earned a reputation for its valor and resilience, particularly during the battle for Normandy, where it was one of only three American divisions to receive battle streamers for every day of the 47-day campaign. The 99th Infantry Division is often recognized by its distinctive emblem, featuring a red-haired highlander, symbolizing its Scottish heritage and nickname, “The Highlanders.” Today, the division is part of the U.S. Army Reserve Command.
