COMMANDER'S MESSAGE
Dear Guest, we would like to welcome you to the website. It has been created as a vital link so that you, the public, friends, and families of our Soldiers can get a glimpse of the hard work and service that our men and women provide. The 1/9th can trace its origins to 1624, and the unit received the official designation of the 9th on June 13, 1812. As we observe the 200th anniversary of that historic event this year, we will continue to stand ready as citizen-Soldiers. We hope that you enjoy the site and we appreciate all of the support shown to us.
