ALL THE WAY...
ALL TOGETHER...
AIRBORNE
If you were AIRBORNE, you were part of the best... The elite. No matter when or where or which Airborne Unit you served. You volunteered and survived jump school, earned your wings and became forever, a part of that worldwide fraternity to which all troopers belong.
William P. Yarborough, one of the pioneers of the U.S. Airborne, said "...Those who choose to become military parachutists must sometimes during the process, prove to themselves that they possess certain inner strengths that set them apart from many of their fellow human beings."
It is probably the self confidence and self-respect which successful paratroop training reveals nurtures, that has made theairborne soldiers of all nations so formidableon the field of battle.
It is our intention and reason for existance, to continue and foster that special esprit de corps, which only paratroopers know.
Whatever your unit or time of service, we probably have a member who served with you.
