The division will also commemorate the past service of Medal of Honor recipient and former Superintendent of the Military Academy and General of the Army Douglas MacArthur who served in the Rainbow Division with a memorial wreath at his statue on the grounds of West Point. Two other wreaths will be placed at monuments located on Fort Drum, New York, and Fort Dix, New Jersey that mark the Rainbow Division's mobilization for service in Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2004.
