1-125 Infantry Memorial Run

It was an early morning for members of 1st Battalion, 125th Infantry Regiment - “Viking Battalion” - who conducted a battalion run to the Camp Grayling Military Cemetery to remember their fallen, and reflect on the unit’s legacy.
The cemetery marks the resting place of Private First Class John A. Conroy and Private George A. Laine. Both were part of Michigan’s 125th Infantry Regiment in the early 20th century, stationed at nearby Camp Grayling. Private Conroy died of pneumonia in 1927, while Private Laine drowned in Frog Lake in 1939, just two months before Germany’s invasion of Poland.
