The Division’s Impact on US Culture What makes the 10th Mountain Division so remarkable is not just its service record, but also the influence its veterans have had on American life: • After WWII, thousands of returning soldiers helped build the modern ski industry in the United States. • Veterans of the division have gone on to excel as scientists, educators, business leaders, and public servants. • Four members have been awarded the Medal of Honor for extraordinary acts of courage. Today, the soldiers of Fort Drum continue to balance training, deployments, and family life with strength and determination. And Howard Orthotics and Prosthetics is proud to provide high-quality prosthetic devices to soldiers and veterans who may be adapting to life after an injury or limb loss. Our Connection to Fort Drum For the team at Howard Orthotics and Prosthetics, supporting Fort Drum is a chance to stand beside those who serve. Our certified prosthetists and orthotists collaborate directly with Fort Drum service members, tailoring care that helps them stay active, whether that means returning to duty or reclaiming a favorite hobby. This connection has taught us valuable lessons in resilience, innovation, and community: • The soldiers we work with face their challenges with strength and determination, inspiring us to do the same. • Working with Fort Drum means staying current with the latest medical and rehabilitation techniques. • When we serve one soldier, we often serve an entire family. That ripple effect strengthens our community as a whole. Fort Drum is a cornerstone of our region’s identity. The soldiers of the 10th Mountain Division bring history, courage, and spirit to the North Country, and our clinic is honored to be part of their support system. As we look ahead, our commitment remains clear: to continue building strong connections with the Fort Drum community and to provide veterans and active-duty personnel the respect, care, and attention they’ve earned. A Final Word of Thanks from the Howard Orthotics and Prosthetics Team To every member of the 10th Mountain Division, past and present: thank you. Your dedication is woven into the story of Fort Drum and into the fabric of our community. And if you’re a soldier in need of a prosthetic device, remember that we’re here to help.
