"In 1900, The Boxer Rebellion in China took the Fourteenth deep
into
the Far East. Our unit defeated the Chinese rebels in the battle of Yang-tsun
and
again a few days later in the battle for Peking. The Fourteenth, braving fire
from
above, scaled the walls of the city and overcame it's defenders. Here
the Fourteenth
Infantry added it's Golden Dragon, the Chinese symbol of power,
to it's Regimental
Crest."
