Army's 3rd Infantry Division celebrates 60 years of Disney-designed mascot 'Rocky the Bulldog'
Briefly

Rocky the Bulldog, mascot of the 3rd Infantry Division, has reached a significant milestone, celebrating around 60 years since his creation by Walt Disney. General Capehart emphasized Rocky's historical significance, originating from discussions among soldiers during WWII about the representation of the division. A real-life Rocky, a 2-year-old rescue bulldog, has recently been introduced as a living mascot. His presence is instantly uplifting, drawing attention and embodying the division's spirit. The division plans to commemorate this milestone with a visit to Walt Disney World for a ceremony, further cementing Rocky's legacy.
Rocky has remained an iconic and beloved symbol of strength, toughness and pride for the division.
When Rocky shows up to a formation, you automatically see the smiles. You already feel this connection with the history of our division.
