Sky Soldier Memories

This is a collection of short narratives exclusively by members of the 173d Airborne Brigade. These accounts span from the early years of 1960, when it is was formed on Okinawa, to the present. In all of these years of service, the reader will find one thing that is consistent ... the will to win and to perform at the highest level to which an Army airborne unit can aspire. These true-life accounts are from the "boots on the ground" (or in the air), and are shared at gut level. While some will make you laugh, and others may make your cry, hopefully when you have finished reading it you will have found a new appreciation for each person's service-and their sacrifice to keep America free.
