The 25th Infantry Division celebrated 85 years at Schofield Barracks on Oahu, a feel-good moment for Hawaii's military community and the veterans who served in it.

• Thousands of soldiers ran through morning rain to kick off the anniversary events.
• The division was formed at Schofield Barracks in October 1941, two months before the Japanese attack on Oahu, when its soldiers grabbed weapons and fired back from the rooftops of their barracks.
• It has fought in every major conflict since, from the Solomon Islands and Korea to Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
• The unit is now deployed forward in Operation Pathways, training and working with allies in the Pacific.
• The day ended with a bricklaying ceremony and new Hall of Fame inductees honored for their service with the division.

Outlook: The division stays focused on Pacific readiness, with Operation Pathways keeping its soldiers working alongside regional partners.
