The Black Eagle Rifles is a group established to honor the courage of the men and women who struggled for their beliefs in a tragic period of our nation's history.
Today, brave men and women have once again responded to the call - they serve in our military in Iraq, Afghanistan, and wherever the nation needs them.
The families of the Fighting First Regiment have provided some of these special people. This page is establshed to honor them.
We pray for our family members, loved ones, and ALL who serve in the United States military.
