"The Gallant Seventh" is the 7th regiment of the New York City Militia, which was re-designated as the 107th Infantry of the New York National Guard in 1917. Five years later, John Philip Sousa wrote "The Gallant Seventh" march to honor the 7th Regiment Band attached to the unit, which was one of the most popular brass bands in the late 19th century. #history U.S. Army Video: Staff Sgt.
