Interview with Pete Seibert, Jr., son of Pete Seibert, Sr., who served and fought with the 10th Mountain Division in World War II, before embarking with fellow soldiers and civilians on the Ninety-Pound Rucksack Challenge at Ski Cooper near Leadville, Colorado, on Feb. 18, 2024. The event commemorates the Division's night-time assault on Riva Ridge in northern Italy, a pivotal moment during World War II that contributed to the Allies' victory in Europe. Organized on the anniversary of this significant event, the uphill ski challenge honors the Division's legacy and its enduring impact on military history and outdoor recreation. (Disclaimer: Participants appear in sterile uniforms, and their involvement is on their own time and not as active-duty soldiers.) (U.S. Army video by Spc. Samuel Bonney)
