82nd Airborne Division

The 82nd Airborne Division has seen some of the American Army’s most elite soldiers pass trough its ranks. The history of this glorious Division has been forged by thou- sands of anonymous paratroopers, always prepared to jump in extreme situations and accomplish their objective on the groung, whatever the conditions. From the trenches of the Somme (World War I) to the Iraqi Desert (second war in Iraq), from the Normandy bocage to the snow-covered forests of the Belgian Ardennes or the Vietnam jungle, the paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Division have accomplished their missions, never failing to do teir duty. They have been the spearhead of the American Army for almost 90 years. 

This Memorial album includes nearly one thousand photographs, virtually all published for the first time, from private collections and the Division’s archives.
