Den 3. division blev grundlagt i 1917, deltog i kampene ved den anden marne-slag og bidrog den 21. juli 1918 til befrielsen af Château-Thierry. Takket være de heroiske gerninger fra sine soldater på slagmarkerne opnåede den berømmelse og ære for sig selv og den amerikanske ekspeditionsstyrke og fik sit navn "the Rock of the Marne". Det oprindeligt opførte mindesmærke for den 3. amerikanske division ved Place des Etats Unis overfor MAFA (Maison de l'Amitié Franco Américaine) blev revet ned i 1940. Medlemmerne af den amerikanske forening for den 3. infanteridivision opførte det nye mindesmærke, som blev indviet den 8. oktober 1961.
