Re: Unit Mottos
"Keep up the fire" 9th Infantry Regiment, Manchu, US Army
On 13 July 1900, during the assault on Tientsin, China, in the face of murderous fire that the wounded Regimental Commander, Colonel Emerson H. Liscum seized the National Colors from the fallen Color Sergeant. Colonel Liscum stood fearlessly, directing the attack on the city walls until he too was mortally wounded. His last words to his men were "Keep Up The Fire!" The assault continued with renewed vigor. As a result of this action, the Regiment earned its foremost trophy, the Liscum Bowl. And the Colonel's last words, "Keep Up The Fire!" have become the Regimental Motto. |
