LIVE AIRBORNE CULTURE AND UNDERSTAND THE LEGACY! Our Paratroopers participated in the final day of celebrations in honor of the anniversary of Operation Market Garden. In honor of those who boldly crossed the Waal River, and the 49 who did not survive the daring crossing, our Paratroopers participated in multiple ceremonies to honor, to reflect, and to ensure the memory never fades. Lest we forget. (Video by Capt. Darren Cinatl) #AATW #StrongerTogether #MarketGarden78 | 82nd Airborne Division

National Airborne Day The first official Army parachute jump was on August 16, 1940. This validated the insertion of U.S. ground forces behind enemy lines. In 2001, President George W. Bush designated August 16 as National Airborne Day. All Americans, may you always have fair winds and soft landings! #NationalAirborneDay #AATW #ThrowbackThursday | 82nd Airborne Division
