Polar Bear Memorials

Fort Rucker, ALChris Hazell sent us these photos of the Polar Bear at Ft Rucker

Karl Lowe was able to provide the history of the Ft Rucker bear.

The Polar Bear statue was erected by the 2nd
Battle Group 31st Infantry at Ft Rucker in 1960 when they were the Aviation
School's support unit. The unit was later reorganized as the 5th Battalion
31st Infantry and moved to Ft Benning as part of the 197th Infantry Brigade.
The last time I (Karl Lowe) was at Ft Rucker (about 5 years ago), the building shown in
the picture (the 5th Battalion's former Headquarters building)had become the
post reenlistment office and the bear was painted red, white, and blue, with
the recruiting command insignia painted on its chest. Every unit that gets
the building adopts the bear and gives it new clothes. This time it seems
to be the "black widows"--188th Assault Helicopter Company of the 269th
Aviation Battalion, formerly out of Bien Hoa, VN. They supported the 6th
Battalion 31st Inf on operations in Gia Dinh, Long An, and Hau Nghia
Provinces.
