The
National Association of the 10th Mountain Division played
a major role in the creation of the International Federation of
Mountain Soldiers, a union of officially recognized legal
associations consolidated in federal form of both former and now
active duty mountain soldiers of Free World countries, regardless of
which side they stood during time of war.
Cause for
the consolidation is the consciousness of the solidarity though the
love of the mountains, though the pride of achieved military and
alpine efforts and through the comradeship especially marked in
mountain troops.
Its
purpose is to promote understanding between the member associations
for peace, freedom and human rights. It further resolves to
conserve the memory of our fallen comrades during war in order to
ensure that their sacrifice helped to create a world of lasting
peace, brotherhood and justice and to generate comradeship among
mountain soldiers. |
