98th Training Division -Initial Entry Training
Jan. 5, 2019 | 6:00
Soldiers of the 98th Training Division (Initial Entry Training), past and present, were honored during a plaque dedication ceremony at the War Memorial in Rochester, New York on January 5, 2019.

Gathered in the audience were community leaders, veterans from across the military services, alumni of the 98th Training Division (IET) and current U.S. Army Reserve Iroquois Warriors.

The 98th Training Division (IET), which started in 1918 as the 98th Infantry Division, was headquartered in Rochester in 1947 and remained there until its move to Fort Benning, Georgia in 2012. With so many years in New York, the 98th Division became an important part of the city, said James Smith, deputy mayor for the city of Rochester.

This video shows the speech, during that ceremony, by Command Sgt. Maj. (Ret.) Frank Puidokas, the President of the 391st Regimental Officers Association, which donated the bronze 98th Division plaque to the War Memorial. Puidokas served in the 98th Training Division for a number of years as a Soldier himself.
