The Homepage of the 173d Airborne Brigade Association
is a Historical Site trying to preserve the History of the 173D Airborne
Brigade which was formed in Okinawa, sent to the Republic of South
Vietnam as the first American Army Unit deployed to the War Zone.
We have a membership of over 5,600 former and current Skysoldiers
and we hold an annual reunion. The 173d Airborne Brigade was reactivated
on June 12, 2000 on Caserma Ederle in Vicenza, Italy. It serves as
European Command's only conventional airborne Strategic response force
for the European Theater. Today's Sky Soldiers continue the distinguished
service by being deployed to Bosnia, Kosovo, Hungary, Tunisia, Morocco,
Germany, Czech Republic, Iraq and Afghanistan. We have established a Scholarship
fund for the children and grandchildren of all those who served in
the 173d Airborne. |
